TORONTO — Unifor said Tuesday afternoon that within hours of workers going on strike, General Motors had agreed to a tentative deal that mirrors the one it reached with Ford Motor Co. last month.

"It is thanks to the solidarity of you, the members, that it was possible to move General Motors to accept the pattern to the letter," said Unifor president Lana Payne in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

General Motors Canada president Marissa West said the deal includes significant increases in wages, benefits and job security. The terms of the three-year contract include base hourly wage increases of nearly 20 per cent for production and 25 per cent for skilled trades , a faster timeline for workers to reach the top wage tier, improvements to pensions and two new paid holidays.

Fiorani, vice-president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, said that GM had the resources to hold out for some time since it has several other plants producing the pickup trucks being made in Oshawa, but that it would have been costly for the automaker.
