The auto plants in ontario havent paid their employees in decades. This isn't new.
It goes back to 2003, the ontario liberals got into power and implemented manufacturing taxes against the autoplants. Ontario shed about 800,000 manufacturing jobs over this idiotic move.
But what ended up happening is 2 fold, they outsourced their assembly to live external plants. Avoiding these new taxes but also greatly reducing the number of employees needed for the main plant itself. So you are hiding the thousands of other workers.
The final major change is that the ontario government eventually had to come in and effectively give them all those taxes right back in subsidies. Why stay?
This is also why the Ontario Liberals basically dont exist anymore. They crushed Ontario pretty badly.
