GM Canada workers vote to accept job cuts: union

[Ernesto]

The vote means employees at three Oshawa assembly plants will accept some job losses -- which could number as many as 2,500 -- to avoid the possibility that GM will shut down two car assembly plants, and to give the plants a shot at landing new investments.

"Some very difficult decisions have been made, not only by the union leadership, but by our members as well," Chris Buckley, president of CAW Local 222, said in a statement.
