GM Oshawa 3rd Shift Cut postponed on January 2026

The third innings deduction at General Motors’ Oshwa plant has been postponed on January 30, 2026, the company and the Sangh representing the Sangh confirmed on Tuesday.

Change means that some 750 GM workers will be on jobs till the new year, while more than 1,500 who work for auto part suppliers, possibly their jobs will also be increased.

Last week, CBC News told the supplier TFT Global Inc. Plan to reduce about 250 jobs By the end of this month. On Tuesday, the company confirmed by email that those workers would continue their jobs by January.

According to Jeff Gray President of Uniphore Local 222, GM’s third line shift was expected to be cut earlier this year earlier this year – although the company did not publicly commit to the date.

GM spokesman Arian Perera confirmed that three shifts would continue in an email on Tuesday through January 2026.

“At that time, the plant will return to two-shift operations and continue the preparation for the creation of the full size, gas-operated pickup of the next generation,” he said.

“We continue to work closely with Unifor to support employees during this transition.”

In May, GM Announced that it is going into a two-shift operation In the midst of this it is called a “developed business environment”. US President Donald Trump announced after incorporating 25 percent tariff on auto parts that there were no non-US parts of cusema-influence and assembled vehicles in April.

A Uniform Memo posted on Tuesday continued to blame the possible line cut on “Dirty politics from America”.

Unifor Local 222 added to a Facebook post: “GM has admitted that our members make a high -profitable truck in the most efficient way.”

“The local 222 will continue to fight against the loss of any job.”
