2500 is just GM assembly plant jobs. Depending what happens to that production it could take thousands more part supplier jobs with it

Time to raise interest rates to slow this economy down.

As far as I'm concerned the UAW have negotiated themselves right out of a job over the last how many decades. Jobs moved to low cost production areas and now the high and mighty high priced jurisdictions want to dictate to those areas how to treat their employees and how much to pay them. Geez...maybe those jobs could all be here if production costs were competitive with the places those jobs moved to...

The UAW are a victim of their own "success".

The incoming carbon tax and expensive electricity doesn’t seem to be as popular with auto manufacturing as the federal and Ontario provincial Liberals figured.

This is very sad for all these families plus the families affected in businesses supplying parts and services to GM.

the saddest thing is that many of these very people voted for this "Canada economy killing crew"

Typical fate of all unions eventually. You ask for more than you're worth. Assembly line workers of any kind are not worth $30 a ****ing hour plus benefits. They do repetitive simple jobs any 16 year old without a highschool diploma could do.

Plant builds the Impala, BIG sedan sales are dead, every BIG car every brand will be discontinued. Consumers helped kill it.
Nobody's job is safe due to GLOBAL competition for parts and labor. Automation/robotics/computers/internet reduces jobs. Read about 25 dying professions...we are one of them!
