Unionized workers at a General Motors plant in Oshawa have ratified fresh three-year collective agreements, with the deals boosting wages for full-rate production and skilled trades positions. The approval comes as the union announced wage increases that will raise full-rate production wages to $50.20 an hour and skilled trades wages to $62.71 an hour. The agreements cover Canadian GM employees, marking a new chapter after negotiations between the company and the union.
Details on specific job classifications beyond the wage figures and the three-year term were not provided in the release, but the union confirmed ratification of the new contracts. The development follows ongoing talks and signals a settlement that aligns compensation with the terms described by the union.
The announcement underscores the broader context of wage negotiations within General Motors’ Canadian operations, though no additional operational changes or production milestones were disclosed in the available information. The ratification confirms the unions’ acceptance of the proposed terms, establishing the new wage scales for eligible workers at the Oshawa facility.
