- New Investments—Fiat Chrysler and GM recently announced new investments in their Windsor and Ingersoll plants worth over $2.5 billion. That will help ensure continued production in these plants over the medium term.
- Layoffs—GM announced that it will lay off 1,000 workers at its Oshawa plant as it shifts production of its Camaro model to Michigan. With more layoffs expected next year, a dark cloud hangs over this plant’s future.
