GM reaches tentative union deal to invest in Ontario auto production amid U.S. tariff pressure
General Motors reached a tentative agreement with Unifor to invest approximately C$1.1 billion in Canadian auto factories, including assembling a next-generation heavy-duty GMC Sierra pickup in Oshawa. The deal is contingent on worker approval and comes as Canada's auto sector faces 25 percent U.S. tariffs on vehicles, with President Trump pledging to raise them to 50 percent on January 1, 2027.
