Canada's economy would shrink by more than $5 billion a year, the report released Monday by Unifor estimates. As well, government coffers would suffer a permanent loss of tax revenues, boosting their deficits by up to $1 billion a year, according to the study by Robin Somerville of the Centre for Spatial Economics, an economic modelling firm. "Canada is a great place for GM to do business, and we all benefit greatly from them being here," Unifor national president Jerry Dias told a press conference. "This underlines why Canada needs a focused strategy to win new auto investment, just like other countries have." The study comes amid growing concerns about the future of GM's two remaining Oshawa plants. A spokesman for GM Canada said no decision about the assembly complex would be made until the end of 2016 following contract negotiations with the union. That's also the year GM's commitment to maintain a specific level of production in Canada - as part of a $10.85-billion bailout by the Ontario and Canadian governments - expires. "We're already in discussions with all three levels of government and with the union as well in terms of things we can do to make sure we're as competitive as we possibly can be," GM spokesman David Paterson said in a telephone interview Monday. Oshawa already has a lot going for it, Paterson said, noting the flex line, which produces the new Impala and three other vehicles, and the paint shop are both "state of the art." The falling Canadian dollar is also helping make Oshawa more competitive with GM's U.S. plants, he said. GM Canada chief executive officer Stephen Carlisle said recently he was optimistic about the outcome of the discussions. Prime Minister Stephen Harper declined to comment on whether his government would invest in Oshawa. However, he noted the government has a $250-million fund earmarked for the auto industry. Harper made the comments during a visit to the Honda Canada plant in Alliston, Ont. Honda Canada said it will begin exporting the CR-V to Europe. No new jobs or additional investments were attached to Monday's announcement at its plants in Alliston, Ont. The company announced an $857-million plant expansion in November, with a 10-per-cent contribution from the provincial government. Government loans and union concessions have become part of the negotiations to secure future investments and jobs. GM's Oshawa plants employ 4,100 people directly, including 3,600 unionized workers, the union said, and thousands of other people indirectly in auto parts and services. Up to 24,000 jobs would be lost immediately if those plants closed, the report for Unifor predicts. Eventually employment would partially rebound, but at lower wages, even for workers not directly employed in the auto industry, the report says. Soaring vehicles sales in North America have fuelled a number of new investments in Ontario auto plants. Earlier this year, federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt delivered a $50.7-million loan to Linamar, a Guelph, Ont., auto parts manufacturer, alongside Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who committed $50.25 million. GM has announced it would invest $560 million in its CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ont. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has committed $2 billion to retooling its Windsor assembly plant. Ford Canada has invested $700 million in its Oakville assembly facility. Ottawa and Ontario each contributed $70 million. Overall, Canadian auto industry production climbed slightly, to 2.38 million vehicles in 2014, as strong North American sales kept most plants running full tilt. But Canada's share of North American production continued to fall, to 14.1 per cent. In the previous four years, Canada had received just $2.5 billion in new auto industry investment, while Mexico got $20 billion, according to the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. © 2015 Torstar Corporation Illustration: • A Camaro gets a smudge buffed out on the assembly line at GM's Oshawa assembly plant in Oshawa.

TORONTO -- Ontario is at risk of losing up to 33,000 jobs within two years of any shutdown of the Oshawa GM complex, says a study released by the union that represents autoworkers. Unifor National President Jerry Dias said governments must directly invest in the auto sector to keep the industry alive in Canada. "Oshawa won't survive unless both the federal and provincial governments are prepared to play," Dias said Monday. "There is no successful auto industry anywhere in the world that is successful in isolation of government. Governments need to play a leadership role." The study, Economic Impact of GM Operations in Oshawa, estimates Ontario would lose 22,000 to 24,000 jobs immediately and up to 33,000 jobs during two years if GM shutters its operations. Dias said anyone who dismisses investment in the auto industry as corporate welfare doesn't understand the economic benefits. Oshawa GM boosts the country's GDP by $5 billion a year, directly and through spin-off economic activity, and a $1 billion investment by governments would likely keep it open for at least a couple more decades, he said. "It's called economic suicide not to participate and that's what the study shows," Dias said. The future of GM in Oshawa is believed to be in doubt beyond 2016 unless the company commits to the production of a new product. Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid said his government is interested in partnering with the federal government to keep GM in Oshawa. "I'm very hopeful," Duguid said. "I can tell you right now getting that future mandate for GM Oshawa is our No. 1priority. " It's too soon to discuss how much the Ontario government would be prepared to put into GM, he said. Dias said both the provincial and federal governments have been willing to talk investment with GM. © 2015 Sun Media Corporation. All rights reserved.

Families of at least 77 people killed in crashes caused by defective General Motors ignition switches will get compensation from the company. Attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims, updated the total Monday. It was up from 74 last week. An additional 141 injured people also are eligible for compensation. The fund received a total of 4,342 claims by the Jan. 31 deadline. Of those, 1,263 are still under review. Feinberg says more than half are ineligible or lack documentation. GM knew about problem switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade but recalled them only last year. They can slip out of the "on" position, which cuts off the engine, knocks out power steering and turns off airbags. © 2015 Postmedia Network Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States
    Labor Union Response to Diversity Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States GERALD HUNT and DAVID RAYSIDE* Canadian and American research finds that organized labor’s engagement with race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation until recently has been largely exclusionist. The Canadian labor movement emerges as having been somewhat more responsive to equity issues, particularly gender and sexual orientation, and at an earlier stage than its U.S. counterpart. The American movement, however, did create limited room for African-American issues and unionization from early this century and now shows signs of broader engagement with diversity issues in general. The literature is strong in case studies pointing to exceptional situations involving minority militancy and union acceptance and in highlight- ing the role of activists inside and external to the labor movement. It suffers from a lack of large-scale analysis and comparison. Has organized labor been an ally or a foe for women and minority groups seeking equal opportunities and equitable treatment in the labor force and workplace? There is now a substantial body of literature focused on this question, and recent changes in union response to issues of diversity call out for a summary and assessment of this literature. This article considers scholarship on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orien- tation in Canada and the United States.1 *The authors’ affiliations are, respectively, the School of Business and Economics, Nipissing Univer- sity, and the Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. This review benefited from the research assistance of Karen Murray, Ph.D. student at the University of British Columbia, the statistical guidance of Laine Ruus at the University of Toronto Reference Library, and the helpful commentary of Daniel Mitchell and three anonymous reviewers.

  • S Labour Movement in Crisis
    Canada’s Labour Movement in Crisis The Crisis in the ATU: Labour Shoots Itself in the Foot By Prof. Sam Gindin and Herman Rosenfeld Region: Canada Global Research, March 15, 2017 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty Socialist Project & Social Inequality A sign of the tragic disarray of the Canadian labour movement is the extent to which its misadventures keep piling up. As the turmoil within the union representing the Ontario government’s unionized employees (Ontario Public Service Employees Union – OPSEU) hits the press, the chaos continues in Local 113 of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). The 10,500 members in that local – over a third of the ATU’s Canadian membership – operate and maintain Toronto’s transit system, North America’s third largest public transit system, behind only New York and Mexico City. As with OPSEU, the acrimonious story is not about a tough strike or a response to an anti-union government. Rather, at a time when the union should be leading the charge to address popular frustrations with the failures in the city’s transit system, the local is preoccupied with a messy internal battle. Members of ATU Local 113 who work for Veolia Tansport on strike, October 2011 to Januay 2012. Local 113 President Bob Kinnear had attempted to break away from its American-based parent and, in what was quickly apparent, to join Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union. For the time being he has clearly failed. The tale is mired in territorial conflicts over the members involved, legacies of personal nastiness among Canadian union leaders, whispers of conspiracy on the part of Unifor and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), of national flag waving and charges of U.S.

  • POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015
    STOP THE PRESSES: POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015 Categories: Insights, Publications On March 25, 2015, after a five month review, the Competition Bureau cleared the purchase by Postmedia of Sun Media's English language assets. Postmedia publishes the National Post as well as local daily papers in towns and cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal. Sun Media's principal English language assets are its online Canoe network as well paid circulation daily newspapers in towns and cities in Canada including Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton and London. As a result of the merger, there will be only one owner of daily paid circulation newspapers in a number of Canadian cities including Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Historically the Competition Bureau has been quite concerned about mergers in the newspaper business – taking the Southam case to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997.[1] It has also historically taken the view that different types of media (print, online, broadcast, etc.) are not particularly close substitutes for one another. However, times change. In its background release with respect to the merger the Bureau noted a number of factors which lead to its decision not to challenge the transaction, including: 1. A lack of close rivalry between Postmedia's broadsheet newspaper and Sun Media's tabloid newspapers, including their different editorial focus. 2. Competition from free local daily newspapers. 3. The increasing competitive pressures from digital alternatives in an evolving media marketplace. 4. The ongoing incentive for the merged company to obtain readership and maintain editorial quality in order to continue to attract advertisers to its newspapers.
