Unifor, General Motors reach tentative deal for thousands of Ontario auto workers

Canada’s largest private-sector union, Unifor, has reached a tentative agreement with General Motors covering approximately 4,600 auto workers. The deal, announced on Saturday, includes workers at plants in Oshawa, Ingersoll, St. Catharines, and Woodstock. Unifor national president Lana Payne stated that the negotiations, which began on August 10, resulted in strong income and benefit gains for the workers.

Despite the challenging times the union is facing, the bargaining committee unanimously endorsed the agreement, which still requires ratification by the workers.
