General Motors Canada and auto workers union Unifor announced they had reached a "Transformation Agreement" to "transition the GM Oshawa Assembly operations to parts manufacturing and advanced vehicle testing". The deal follows GM's November 2018 announcement it would idle five North American factories: Detroit-Hamtramck; Lordstown, Ohio; Oshawa, Ontario; Warren Transmission; and a transmission plant in the Baltimore area, putting some 6,000 factory jobs on the chopping block.
