In December 2020, GM Oshawa will close. 5,000 UNIFOR members will lose their jobs. Oddly, this sad labor story has been badly reported. Recently, there was an announcement by the company and union saying a stamping plant would provide, perhaps, 300 jobs. This was taken as a "best we can do" story. The "something" that is better than "nothing."
The reports said that GM was laying off 2,600 employees. That left out another 2,500 UNIFOR members who help produce GM vehicles, but are employed by other companies. They earn less, have smaller pensions, and no shot at the "300" jobs. A fine mess, as they say in comedies.
