GM eliminating jobs at Oshawa assembly plant

General Motors is eliminating more than 700 jobs at its Oshawa Assembly Complex, with hundreds more expected to be lost across the supply chain, Unifor said in a Jan. 29 release.

The Oshawa plant assembles light- and heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. After the United States imposed a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian-built vehicles, GM increased Silverado production in Fort Wayne, Ind., before announcing the elimination of the third shift in Oshawa.
