The terms of the 1990 National Collective Agreement with the Canadian Auto Workers provide an October 15, 1990 seniority date at all other GM of Canada loca- tions for Scarborough employees on roll at the time of the agree- ment. This will facilitate place- ment opportunities at other loca- tions. The Agreement also pro- vides significant income maintenance provisions. The plant is already beginning to transition some salaried employees to other GM of Canada locations. Salariéd employees also are entitled to significant employment income security benefits. The Plant opened in 1952 as a Frigidaire Products of Canada facility, building appliances. It added automotive components to the product line-up in 1960, and became a Delco Canada plant, producing exclusively automotive products in 1971.
