NDP MP Niki Ashton and author Linda McQuaig will be leading a meeting in Toronto, Jan. 30, about public ownership.
The closure of GM, Leah says, proved you can't protect jobs and save industries by coddling up to corporations.
The Canadian government bailed out GM to the tune of 11 billion dollars during the 2008 financial crisis, and never repaid it all. UNIFOR workers gave concessions to GM to stay in Oshawa, as well as UNIFOR retirees who haven't received a cost-of-living increase in pensions since 2008.
Green Jobs Oshawa calls for nationalizing GM Oshawa and producing electric vehicles.
