At #ARC2026, @Lanampayne delivered a clear message: when workers face uncertainty, corporate greed & political attacks, we don’t back down - we organize. We’re all worth the fight!
Organizing was a big topic during this afternoon’s panel at ARC 2026. Delegates heard from Local 2121 about their newly organized workplace and the challenges faced when bargaining a first contract.
Atlantic delegates heard a panel of union members from across different industries in the region have a meaningful discussion about the fightback in each of their sectors.
Whether it’s fighting back against closures, striking for better wages or holding employers accountable, every worker is worth the fight.
"Imagine for one second how truly bad things would be without Unifor's activism. Without the commitment and determination we bring. Without the fight we wage every day for a better world."
@Lanampayne delivered powerful remarks to delegates at the ARC 2026, reminding members that our union’s strength lies in our solidarity. When workers unite and fight back together, we can build a stronger future for everyone.
Day 2 of ARC 2026 is underway.
After a strong opening day filled with meaningful discussions, inspiring speakers, and solidarity in action, delegates are back and ready to continue the important work of advancing workers’ rights across Atlantic Canada.
“We’re All Worth the Fight.” That was the message from @JennMUnifor to #ARC2026 delegates. In a time of economic uncertainty, political division & attacks on good union jobs, Jennifer reminded us that our greatest strength is solidarity. We fight for each other & we win - together.
ARC 2026 delegates flooded the streets of Saint John today in a powerful rally to protect Atlantic jobs.
No matter the sector, workers across the region are all facing growing challenges. Together, our union continues calling on governments and employers to put workers first, protect good jobs, and invest in the future of Atlantic Canada.
Every day, workers face fights that go far beyond the workplace. This year’s Atlantic Regional Council video shares some of those fights our union has seen this past year. We’re All Worth the Fight, is a reminder that no worker stands alone.
When we stand together, support one another, and raise our voices collectively, we have the power to create change. Because every fight for workers is a fight worth having.
Jenn Murray fights for all workers.
Leading with her giant heart, determination and a fearlessness (and yes sometimes as she admits impatience).
She embodies the very best of our union.
We are all worth the fight. 🫶🫶🫶

.@JennMUnifor and @len_poirier joined members of the Road Transportation Council today at the Atlantic Regional Council, to discuss strengthening the sector, addressing challenges, improving working conditions, and ensuring workers have a voice as the industry continues to evolve.
From trucking and logistics to transit, couriers and maintenance, road transportation workers play a vital role in keeping our communities connected and our economy moving.
There are no nation-building projects without energy. And there's no energy without good union jobs.
At this week's EnergyNL meeting, Lana Payne told employers that Canada can't offshore production, lean on imports, and let infrastructure rot, then proport to be an energy superpower. It starts with investing in workers here at home.
The 2026 Unifor Atlantic Regional Council is officially underway! Today, local union presidents from across the Atlantic came together for the President’s Meeting to discuss the challenges they're facing in their workplaces, share ideas, and find common cause in our fight for good jobs & strong communities.
This is rich from the US.
Can Canada do more to stop forced labour goods entering our country? Yes.
But consider the US’s record on labour rights. It’s bad.
- right to work states
- forced prison labour
- core ILO conventions still unratified
To name a few.
We have taken note of the consultation process launched by the United States on Section 301 tariffs regarding a wide range of countries.
This does not come as a surprise, as the United States has stated its intention to replace existing baseline global tariffs imposed under Section 122 when they expire in July.
Notably, the new Section 301 tariffs include a CUSMA carve-out and other existing product exemptions.
Canada has a robust regime to protect against forced labour practices, and we will soon be taking action to make it even stronger, including through the introduction of new legislation this month, while continuing to work closely with our trading partners.
We share the United States’ objective of ensuring that goods produced with forced labour do not enter our supply chains, and we will be engaging constructively with them over the coming weeks.

200,000 forestry jobs and $23.5 billion in GDP are worth fighting for. The task force laid out the road map. Now governments need to act.
