Overview
- GM Canada announced it will reduce operations at its Oshawa Assembly Plant from three shifts to two, starting this fall.
- The decision comes in response to declining demand forecasts and the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian-built vehicles.
- Unifor, representing the plant's workers, called the decision 'reckless' and warned of potential ripple effects on the auto parts supplier network.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford described the news as 'extremely tough' for workers, reaffirming the province’s commitment to supporting the auto sector.
- This follows GM Canada's recent production halt at its CAMI plant in Ingersoll and Stellantis’s planned temporary closure of its Windsor plant next week.
