On February 01, 2019, GM Canada Urges Unifor President To Pull Super Bowl Ad

URGENT Warning To "Cease and Desist!"

Despite GMC Strongly Urging Unifor President Not To Run The Super Bowl Ad!

Unifor, President Jerry Dias took $5.5M. of union dues; monies belonging to GM Canada employees and paid for a 30 seconds advertisement at the Super Bowl (Feb. 03, 2019).

The Super Bowl Ad contains inaccuracies claiming GMC were given "Bailout Monies;" implying there were no repayment terms and conditions. GMC received bailout assistance from the government of Canada, based on a contractual agreement stipulating terms and conditions for repayment; essentially no different from a bank loan. The word "Given" implies the ""Bailout Monies" have not been repaid, when in fact it was repaid in its entirety.

Further, the Super Bowl Ad claims that after GMC Oshawa Plant closure, workers will be left in the cold; implying neglect. This is also inaccurate, because GMC reached an agreement with government of Canada representatives to maintain accountability; by accommodating GMC workers in their moment of despair. Meaning, that before the Oshawa Plant closure, GM Canada will; assist workers with transitioning to other employers, relocating where possible, keep as many workers as possible, pay for re-training, honor workers pension agreement, etc. This transition process has already begun!

There are no laws whereby Dias can legally force/threaten GMC to remain in Canada and the smear campaign against GM will actually hurt workers and economic prosperity long term!

However, Dias has done the math., meaning this situation is a "win-win" for him and the Unifor brand name! He spends no out of pocket monies (GM workers money), essentially getting free international publicity.. If GMC is rattled, guess what he remains in the spotlight hence more free  publicity at a  phenomenal cost to GM and their employees. So, if GMC attacks he will hit up a couple legal hounds to fight back; again at no cost to him. Dias will continue to pay all company (Unifor) and personal expenses with GMC workers union dues! In the end, or by the time September, 2019, comes around Dias will claim bankruptcy or lack of funds; hence no monies for GM workers who have believed in this manipulative piece of G--b--e (you fill in the blanks).

In conclusion, GMC workers worse nightmare were always their union representative/s drumming up ways to pressure GMC and spend GMC workers hard earned monies!
