Unifor members at CAMI Assembly and Battery Assembly plants in Ontario have ratified a two-year contract with General Motors GM.N that includes significant wage increases, the Canadian union announced Sunday.
Unifor Local 88 members voted 95.7 per cent in favour of ratifying the contract, which provides for an immediate 10 per cent increase in workers’ wages, a 2 per cent increase in September 2025 and an additional 3 per cent increase in July 2026.
The contract also includes a 20.25 percent wage increase for skilled trades, the union said in a statement.
The new two-year agreement is now set to expire on September 20, 2026, according to Unifor.
“For the first time, Unifor has successfully negotiated a two-year contract that will align CAMI members with the union’s negotiations at Detroit Three to combine the future bargaining power of more than 5,600 GM members,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.
GM did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Unifor Local 88 represents more than 1,300 members at CAMI Assembly and Battery Assembly which manufactures the Chevrolet BrightDrop EV 600 and EV 400 and Ultium battery modules.
