The launch of the new Chevrolet Impala has General Motors and the local autoworkers’ union hopeful about the future of the company and its Oshawa operations. The 2014 Impala is already being built in Oshawa but the “official launch” and mass production of the vehicle starts this month, says CAW Local 222 President Ron Svajlenko. Production of the Impala will be split between General Motors Oshawa, on its flexible line, and in the United States at Detroit-Hamtramck. How many are built at each location, a pressing point for the CAW, remains to be seen — Oshawa Express
