Oshawa, Ontario

GM Canada announced layoffs affecting up to 1,200 autoworkers at its Oshawa plant. The cuts are related to the company's manufacturing rebalancing and shift in production strategy.

GM eliminated a shift at Oshawa Assembly and idled its CAMI Assembly Plant following the cancellation of the BrightDrop program. The layoffs are part of ongoing scaling back of Canadian operations due to industry disruption.

Lakeridge Health in Oshawa has cut approximately 40 jobs over the past year, including three full-time dietary aide positions that were not replaced last month. The layoffs have resulted in worsening working conditions, staff shortages, and increased workload for remaining employees at the healthcare facility.

General Motors laid off 500 workers from its Oshawa plant this year, with approximately 1,200 additional layoffs across feeder plants in the auto industry. The layoffs have contributed to Oshawa's shrinking auto sector and high unemployment rate of 7.9 percent.

GM Canada is cutting one of three shifts at its Oshawa plant, affecting up to 1,200 autoworkers throughout the auto supply chain, with approximately 500 being direct GM employees. The layoffs take effect on Friday, January 31, 2026, as the company scales back Canadian operations citing forecasted demand and the evolving trade environment.

General Motors is cutting one of three shifts at its Oshawa plant in January 2026, resulting in approximately 2,000 layoffs. Despite the shift reduction, GM is investing $280 million to build the next generation of Chevrolet Silverados at the plant, which currently employs around 3,000 workers.

TFT Global Inc., an auto parts supplier at General Motors' Oshawa plant, is laying off 245 of its 873 hourly workers on September 26, 2025. The layoffs are connected to GM's planned reduction of a third shift at the facility amid U.S. tariffs threatening Canada's auto sector.

General Motors has postponed the closure of its third shift at the Oshawa plant from November 2025 to January 30, 2026, affecting approximately 750 workers. The delay also extends employment for around 1,500 auto parts supplier workers who depend on the plant's production of Chevrolet Silverado trucks.

General Motors will cut the third shift at its Oshawa Assembly plant on January 30, 2025, resulting in approximately 2,000 job losses including 750 direct GM workers and 1,250 supply-chain workers. The layoffs come amid high unemployment rates in Oshawa and threats from U.S. tariffs affecting the auto industry.
