Unionized General Motors (GM) workers in Ontario are set to finalize their vote on a new tentative labour agreement by Sunday. The agreement, reached between Unifor and GM on August 22, outlines wage and benefit increases for over 4,600 autoworkers across multiple facilities including Oshawa, Ingersoll, St. Catharines, and Woodstock. Union members have been voting over the weekend to ratify the terms, which include significant improvements in compensation and benefits. This comes after months of negotiations, with talks initiated earlier this month following a previous agreement between Unifor and Ford. The tentative deal marks a critical step in securing fair working conditions for GM employees amid ongoing industry challenges. The agreement also includes provisions to prevent plant closures, ensuring job stability for workers. Global News reports that the outcome of the vote will determine whether the terms are officially adopted, potentially setting a precedent for future labour negotiations in the automotive sector.

Quebec and a union representing 3,500 paramedics have reached a tentative labour agreement after more than three years without a collective agreement. The workers include over 1,000 paramedics employed by Urgences-santé, the public ambulance service serving Montreal and Laval. The agreement, negotiated after six days of talks, will be presented to members shortly. Neither the union nor the Quebec government has disclosed specific contract details. Quebec Treasury Board President France-Élaine Duranceau stated the deal aims to improve paramedics' working conditions while ensuring continuous ambulance services for the public. This comes after over a year of strike actions that began in July 2025, primarily focused on pay disputes. The tentative agreement marks progress in resolving a long-standing labor dispute, though details remain confidential. The resolution could impact public healthcare delivery and worker satisfaction in the region.

Unifor, the Canadian labor union, has released details of a proposed tentative agreement with Ford Motor Company, which could secure three per cent annual wage increases for workers over the next three years if ratified. The agreement includes commitments from Ford to maintain operations at its facilities in Windsor and Oakville, Ontario, and invest over $1 million into these plants. The union's bargaining team confirmed the deal, which follows negotiations that began on June 22, 2026, as previous contracts with major automakers were set to expire. The results of a member vote on the agreement will be announced on Sunday. This development comes amid broader discussions about labor rights and industrial relations in Canada's automotive sector, with Unifor's leadership emphasizing the importance of preserving manufacturing jobs. The tentative agreement highlights the union's focus on long-term wage growth and facility stability, positioning it as a key factor in the industry's future. Ford's commitment to investment and operational continuity underscores the mutual interests of both parties in maintaining a stable workforce and production capacity. The agreement also reflects the evolving landscape of labor negotiations in Canada, where unions are increasingly prioritizing multi-year contracts to ensure financial security for workers. This development could set a precedent for similar negotiations with other automakers, shaping the future of labor relations in the sector.
