Will this turn out to be rumour or part of the games/politics played when it comes time to ratify contracts or negotiate terms --- as has been done in the past, as part of the games played by the company/unions/employers in life??
General Motors Canada is expected to announce that it is closing all operations in Oshawa, affecting approximately 2,500 jobs.
Multiple sources told CTV News that the announcement about the closure is expected to happen on Monday morning.
The move would affect approximately 2,500 unionized positions and 300 salaried employees. However thousands of other jobs could be affected in related industries, such as auto parts manufacturing.
“I’m hoping it’s just a rumor,” outgoing Oshawa Mayor John Henry said. “Until we hear something, we don’t know.”
I speak from experience that John Henry has been a terrible mayor and person, honestly, in all sorts of ways politically and otherwise, but what do you really expect from these types of "humans" who do nothing to help humanity and worse--- target people who call out corruption, etc........
Then again, I fought corruption in this town for YEARS being harassed by all public sector "servants" on my own time, and thousands and thousands of hours....
Henry, who himself has family members who work at GM, said Oshawa has played a big part in the success of General Motors.
Other Oshawa representatives also weighed in, expressing concern Sunday night.
“Extremely concerned about reports regarding potential closure of GM Canada Oshawa operations. @ColinCarrie & I are reaching out for information,” Durham MP Erin O’Toole wrote on Twitter, referring to his provincial counterpart.
Carrie called the news “very concerning” and said he was looking into the situation.
The indications are that the closure may be part of a global restructuring of the company and that there could be other plant closures around the world, sources said.
It’s not clear whether other GM jobs in Markham, Ingersoll and St. Catharines could be affected as well.
At one point GM’s Oshawa operations employed around 40,000 people.

Huge employers and unions both play games and turn on loyal people.
I know for a fact, all these people turned on you when you tried to help.
All of them.

With the general sense and ways of the economy and all those involved, things in general are not looking good, for a long time now, regardless of even this one thing.
Oshawa has no vision and no leadership, that is for sure ---- same for most places.
