General Motors' Oshawa Assembly plant in Canada, which builds pickup trucks, will cut back to a two-shift schedule from three due to softening demand and trade-related challenges, the company and the union representing workers said on Friday.

GM cited lower demand and the "evolving trade environment" in its decision to pare down manufacturing at the plant, which builds Chevrolet Silverados.
