Unifor National President @lanampayne said Trump’s tariffs war is “the fight of our lives.”
Unifor & workers didn’t spend the energy winning historic collective agreements, anti-scab legislation, worker power, just to have Trump destroy it.
“Not today, not tomorrow, not ever!”
“You can’t disconnect 60 years of supply chains overnight," said John D’Agnolo, Chair of Unifor Auto Council. "You can’t attack Canada without causing major economic pain on both sides of this border…You sell here. You build here.”

“When trade wars crash our economy, health care funding suffers,” said Alicia Rivera of Unifor Local 1106. “We are not disposable. We are done waiting. And we are not backing down.”

These are not Trump’s jobs to take.
Workers have built vehicles in Canada for more than 100 years.
And we are not giving up one single job. Not one.
Canadians also buy 2 million cars/vehicles a year - far less than what we make here.
Sell here. Build here. 🇨🇦💪 #elbowsup
As our LTC members come together to address challenges in the sector and strategize for upcoming bargaining, we're not just talking about change – we're initiating it. I have no doubt we will shape a stronger, equitable and fair long-term care sector. #onpoli#onlab
