GM Plans 2600 Layoffs In Canada Amid Market Slump
General Motors of Canada Ltd will lay off 2,600 workers based on seniority due to a slight decline in the new car market and to meet Canada United States Automotive Trade Agreement obligations. The move includes reduced employment at Ottawa area plants but increased hiring at Ste Therese, Quebec, and other GM operations. Overall Canadian employment is forecast around 32,600, slightly under last year as production shifts geographic. The long term outlook remains positive with expected population and income growth boosting car ownership.
