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"

Nobody ever feels sad for the farmers..
I am sure JT will give them another bail out..

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!

Those are the worse jobs I did something like that early in life couldn't stand it.

What makes a welder or a plumber worth 100 bucks an hour when you can do what you want when you want?

How about truck drivers on the rigs with living allowancewjat are they making?dont even have to speak English.

30 bucks is what 60,000 roughly is anyone gonna get rich on that? Not with today's housing costs food costs etc.

Everything is relative within an economy. Building stupid things giving away money to things that don't produce anything then taxing the shit out of everyone is what raises the cost in a country. A large country spread out the major killer is transportation that raises the cost of everything especially when fuel prices are retartedly high. But we re selling it to everyone else for nothing??? Figure that one out.

Lot of bullshit in that list. I never read the whole thing, but two I picked out. Bookkeeper and IT Support.

Know a shitload of people who throw a couple shoeboxes of crumpled, stained receipts (both personal and business) on the bookkeepers desk and leave. Let me know how coded software works with coffee stained pieces of paper in a box. Not many people balance their own books in any fashion.

People in any office are ****ed if a server or entire network crashes. You pretty much need a dedicated IT administrator on staff that knows the system inside out and can troubleshoot on the fly. Bringing someone in just wastes time.

Now travel agents and mortgage brokers, those I agree with. Internet killed both of those on the spot.

There’s a lot of liberals working in the Ontario car plants. Guess they’ll be moving to Trumpland.

Who needs to produce cars anyway everyone here is too stoned to drive now.
Marijuana capital of the world.

[MBgrower]

isnt killing auto jobs and shutting down plants that produce co2 emitting cars great news for the fight against climate change? Pretty much the same as stopping pipeline development. Turdeau has got to go.
