General Motors Oshawa Layoffs Proceed January 30

General Motors confirmed 750 layoffs at its Oshawa assembly plant. These dismissals will occur on January 30, reducing the plant to two shifts. The company initially announced the shift reduction last May, citing the evolving trade environment. Layoffs were delayed from September due to high demand for Chevrolet Silverado pickups. Unifor blames US tariffs for the job losses, which also impact 1,500 supply chain workers.

We need to bring all of the Silverado assembly back to the Detroit area.
The tariffs aren't strong enough.

GM Eliminates Third Shift, Affecting 700 Oshawa Workers

General Motors confirmed the end of the third shift at its Oshawa assembly plant. This decision leads to the layoff of approximately 700 unionized workers. The Oshawa plant, which produces the Chevrolet Silverado, will now operate with two shifts. GM and the Unifor union are working together to support the affected employees. The union president suggested U.S. tariffs influenced this shift of truck production to Indiana.
