Published 30 August 2026

General Motors and the Unifor union have reached a tentative agreement that secures a major investment for Ontario's auto sector while providing a temporary safeguard for an idled plant. The deal, which covers approximately 4,600 union members, includes a C1.1 billion capital commitment across three manufacturing sites and now awaits a ratification vote by members this weekend. The centerpiece of the agreement is a C144 million investment to retool GM's assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario. This funding will enable the facility to produce the next-generation heavy-duty GMC Sierra pickup truck.
