General Motors to cut shifts at Ontario plant, impacting 700 workers amid tariff tensions
General Motors says it is reducing shifts at the Oshawa assembly plant in Ontario “in light of forecasted demand and the evolving trade environment,” resulting in 700 workers facing layoffs.
GM said it will transition to a two-shift operation as it re-orients the plant to build more trucks in Canada for Canadian customers.
The announcement was made on Friday amid a trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump that slapped a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian-built vehicles in March, affecting the auto industry.
