GM Secures Next-Gen Sierra Production in Ontario with C$144M Investment
GM sits 59% above its 52-week low of $54.33.
Summary
Canadian union Unifor ratified a new labor agreement with GM that locks in production of the next-generation heavy-duty GMC Sierra at the Oshawa plant. The deal includes a C$144 million investment in Oshawa and a commitment to keep the CAMI Assembly plant open. GM also reaffirmed over C$1 billion in Canadian plant investments, including C$691 million for new V8 engine production in Ontario. Workers receive a 3% annual wage increase over three years. This secures GM's Canadian manufacturing footprint amid Trump's threat of 50% tariffs on Canadian autos starting January 2027, reducing near-term supply-chain risk for its profitable pickup truck line.
