Unifor, General Motors reach tentative deal for thousands of Ontario auto workers
Unifor announced a tentative labour deal Saturday for its members at GM's Ontario plants. Union officials said the agreement, if ratified, will improve wages and benefits.
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, pertains to workers at plants in Oshawa, Ingersoll, St. Catharines, and Woodstock. Unifor's national president, Lana Payne, stated that the negotiations had resulted in significant income and benefit gains, even during one of the most challenging periods in the union's history.
The bargaining committee for Unifor worked diligently to reach the agreement, which was unanimously endorsed by its members. The tentative deal follows the conclusion of negotiations between Unifor and Ford Motor Company earlier this year. The agreement still requires ratification by union members, but the bargaining committee has decided to endorse it.
