General Motors, Ste-Thérèse (the end)
A monthly union meeting of former GM employees, TCA local 1163, in their spaces in the town of Boisbriand — despite the St. Therese plant’s closing, bringing thirty years’ operation and Quebec’s automotive industry to an end. The parking lot storing the last Impalas, the only view one has of the production as access to the manufacturing premises was denied. We’re on the outside, and that’s where we’ll stay, the factory having been torn down.
