Oshawa GM plant to cut shifts in the fall, citing U.S. tariffs, union says
- General Motors announced it will cut one of three shifts at its Oshawa, Ontario pickup truck plant in the fall, reducing output.
- The cut follows U.S. President Trump's April 3 tariffs of 25% on Canadian-made vehicles, which reshaped demand and trade conditions.
- The change affects over 700 direct GM jobs and up to 2,000 supplier jobs, while GM aims to reorient production toward the Canadian market.
- Lana Payne, president of Unifor, described the decision as reckless and urged General Motors to reconsider, cautioning that it could have widespread negative effects across the entire network of auto parts suppliers.
- GM indicated it will collaborate with relevant parties to assist employees during the transition, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford described the announcement as very difficult for the workforce.
