Union says GM plans to cut shifts at Oshawa, Ont. plant

The union representing auto workers at the General Motors plant in Oshawa, Ont. says the company is planning to reduce shifts, citing U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Unifor, which represents about 3,000 employees at the Oshawa facility, said the shift reduction is “reckless” and that the move will “ripple through” the auto parts supplier network. It is not immediately clear how many jobs will be impacted.

GM said it will return to a two-shift operation “in light of forecast demand and the evolving trade environment.”
