Union thinks pressure from U.S. politicians encouraged GM to give Detroit a reprieve
General Motors Co.’s decision to extend production at its Detroit-Hamtramck factory will result in some extra work at its Oshawa, Ont., assembly plant, but the automaker said the “modest” increase will not postpone the closure of the Canadian facility.
There will be “some modest Oshawa job and work upside in the second half of this year because Oshawa does some stamping work for the Detroit Hamtramck plant,” David Paterson, General Motors Canada’s vice president of corporate affairs, said in an email. Unifor Canada, the union that represents the GM workers, has vowed to keep fighting the closure despite GM’s repeating that it has no intention to change course. It argues that GM agreed not to close the plant for the duration of its collective agreement, which expires in September 2020.
