Unifor says it has suspended a media campaign against General Motors amid productive talks with the automaker on the future of the company's assembly plant in Oshawa, Ont.
The union says the company has been clear it won't extend vehicle manufacturing at the Oshawa plant beyond the end of the year, but that there is potential to transform operations to maintain some jobs.
"It's about maintaining a footprint, and it's about being in a position to build for the future. So I'm feeling more optimistic now than I have in a long time." "We're having very aggressive conversations with General Motors about a short-term fix and a long-term plan." The company has come under significant criticism for the move. U.S. President Donald Trump called GM out in a tweet Monday demanding that it keep open its plant in Lordstown, Ohio and close a plant in Mexico or China instead.
