Local 222 members packed their union hall for an information meeting as GM moves to cut the third shift at the Oshawa plant. This means more than 1000 Unifor members’ jobs at the plant and throughout the supply chain are being wiped out.
Local 222 members continue to show up, building the parts and trucks that generate profits for GM and they are repaid by a company that is shifting their jobs to the U.S.
Despite the trade war GM posted $10 billion in profits in North America even after losing billions in tariffs. Autoworkers are in the middle of a deepening trade war, feeling the full force of tariffs every day and have huge concerns about a new deal to allow 20% of the electric vehicle market to include cheap, made-in-China electric vehicles.
The message from the floor was simple and united.
GM only cares about profit.
If you sell here, build here.
It is time to protect Canadian autoworkers and defend good union jobs.
