General Motors Co. is expected to announce this morning that it is closing down its assembly plant in Oshawa, Ont., by about the end of 2019, sources tell The Globe and Mail.
The factory’s 2,500 unionized workers make the slow-selling Chevrolet Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS large sedans and Chevy Equinox crossover vehicle. The facility also paints and assembles fullsize Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks from body panels supplied from a GM plant in Indiana.
But the Unifor union says it has been told by GM that no product will be allocated to Oshawa after December 2019. The plant has been making GM vehicles since 1953.
