The closure would affect more than 2,500 jobs at the Oshawa plant.<\/p>\n<p>The layoffs will have a major impact on the Oshawa economy.\u00a0 According to Unifor, the union representing GM workers, every job at the Oshawa plant is tied to seven spin-off jobs in the community.<\/p>\n<p>But just four days later, Ontario\u2019s nuclear industry stepped in to let Unifor know that it would do what it can to ease the blow to the community and workers.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Power and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) sent a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brucepower.com\/bruce-power-opg-extend-support-to-gm-workers-in-oshawa\/\">joint letter<\/a> to the leadership of Unifor, expressing support for workers at GM Oshawa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBruce Power and Ontario Power Generation recognize the role the auto industry and the Oshawa GM plant have played in Ontario\u2019s economy for decades and we believe that we can play a part in keeping these highly skilled people in high-paying jobs in the nuclear industry,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSkilled tradespeople and skilled workers are one of our province\u2019s biggest assets and there is a deficit being predicted in the Ontario labour market. Bruce Power, OPG and the Ontario nuclear fleet support employment and training opportunities for skilled workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At over $25 billion, the refurbishment of Ontario\u2019s nuclear power plants is the largest clean-technology investment in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The refurbishment projects will put thousands of people to work and ensure economic prosperity for the province of Ontario for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOPG\u2019s Darlington Refurbishment Project and Bruce Power\u2019s Major Component Replacement (MCR) Program are the two largest infrastructure projects in Ontario.
