The Canada-U.S. relationship has forever changed.

The threats of unjust tariffs on Canadian goods by U.S. President Donald Trump are an economic call-to-arms. It’s a call that I hope you choose to answer.

To face this fight, Unifor is inviting all members to Protect Canadian Jobs.

Bad policy from the Trump administration could hurt workers on both sides of the border for years to come. For our most integrated sectors, this could bring devastating consequences.

Unifor has called for all levels of government and industry to step up and coordinate a response to the continued tariff threats on targeted Canadian industries including auto, steel and aluminum, wood products, copper and others.
