OSHAWA — Ontario NDP MPP Jennifer French (Oshawa) has issued the following statement in response to General Motors’ announcement about cutting shifts at the Oshawa plant:
“This is a reckless move that will put the future of hundreds of workers at risk. Workers and families need the government to step up and stop good jobs from leaving our communities. This is not just about the jobs on the shop floor, it is about workers’ families, it is about our local economy, and we cannot afford more uncertainty. I am in touch with the Unifor Local and stand in solidarity with Oshawa’s auto workers who are fighting back against Donald Trump’s chaos.
“Workers and their families need to know that their government will fight to keep good jobs here and stop manufacturers from leaving. Oshawa built General Motors, it’s time for General Motors to show up for Oshawa.”
