General Motors of Canada told the Canadian Auto Workers Friday that it intends to issue permanent layoff notices to 375 employees at its Windsor transmission plant. The notices will start going out Monday and include employees with seniority dating back to May 18, 1981, which means many of those being laid off have high seniority, some of them up to 26 years. Those being laid off include 288 production workers and 87 skilled tradespeople.

Approximate Affected Workforce: 101-500
