General Motors (GM) is moving ahead with plans to eliminate the third shift at its Oshawa assembly plant, a decision expected to eliminate more than 1,000 union jobs across the facility and its supply chain.
According to union estimates, more than 1,000 Unifor members — and potentially up to 1,200 — are expected to complete their final shift as GM scales back operations.
