Clipped to the Drawing Board by John William

June 2008 - GM announces it will close its Oshawa truck plant , with production ending in 2009. The company cites skyrocketing oil prices and declining truck sales as factors in the decision, which will eliminate 2,600 jobs. Although one shift at the plant had already been cut, the other two shifts were supposed to continue on, working in alternating weeks, as the result of a recent collective agreement with the CAW.
