On April 23, 1937, an agreement with General Motors was ratified by the membership and Local 222 became the bargaining agent for the union members. On November 26, 2018, GM made the announcement that they would close the Oshawa facility. Following a fightback campaign by our members, GM agreed to keep the plant open but will transition the facility from manufacturing vehicles to stamping and sub-assembly.  However on November 5th 2020 a tentative agreement was reached with General Motors to bring truck assembly back to Oshawa. The agreement was ratified soon after. Starting In 2022 Oshawa will be producing light and heavy duty trucks in the Oshawa Assembly Plant.
