History was made last week by workers at the GM plant in Silao, Mexico as they voted to join a legitimate union,. This was made possible by changes to NAFTA, where Unifor played a major role in pushing Mexican labour reform. Congratulations to all. unifor.org/news/all-news/gm-…
ICYMI - I had the chance to chat with @AutoNewsCanada this week about the Biden EV tax credits and the future of #auto production in Canada.
NEW PODCAST: @UniforTheUnion President @JerryPDias on U.S. EV tax rebates, battery plants and Brampton. Canada will get “slaughtered” by a U.S. EV tax rebate. And Stellantis will have “hell to pay” if Brampton doesn’t get new product.

Nurses and other health care workers are leaving the health care system in droves because of dangerous workloads and inadequate compensation, in large part due to Bill 124. If anyone thinks these heroes are “ok”, they are sadly mistaken. #onpoli

Proud to stand up for basic workers’ rights for gig workers in Canada and around the world. My column in the @TorontoStar. #canlab @UniforTheUnion
Gig workers deserve better than what they got in the recent representation deal that @Uber_Canada signed with a US-based union. We cannot compromise the basic principles of labour rights in such talks, @JerryPDias writes in the @TorontoStar. #canlab

This is an historic moment that comes thanks to the hard work and determination of these workers, and made possible by changes to NAFTA, where @UniforTheUnion played a major role in pushing Mexican labour reform. Congratulations to all.
Workers at the #GM plant in Silao, Mexico have voted for a true voice in the workplace by voting overwhelmingly to join independent union SINTTIA, defeating three company-linked unions. Unifor is proud to have worked with them toward this victory. #canlab

Congratulations to the workers at #GM Silao. @UniforTheUnion is proud to have been part of this journey. We will continue to work together for workers’ rights in Mexico.
Canada absolutely needs a strong auto strategy that positions the industry for the future, buffers against trade threats, and secures & creates good union jobs, from mining & processing critical minerals, to building batteries and parts, to final assembly. xitter.gq/UniforTheUnion/status/…
Unifor's testimony on Canada-US trade policies pushes for an auto strategy that protects and grows unionized auto and parts jobs, secures a Canadian carve-in for US EV rebates, and strengthens our EV supply chain. Watch the full video: fb.watch/aWKzSauzSR/ #canlab #cdnpoli
It's time our government secures this deal. Ontario families need child care.

#Unifor has come a long with racial justice, with more work on the way. As trade unionists, we need to listen racialized communities and continue to advance racial justice in our communities, workplaces and our union. #blackhistorymonth
#BlackHistoryMonth isn’t an event we only acknowledge in February. Unifor has long been advocating that it is vital to acknowledge and recognize Black members everyday. Read our statement here. bit.ly/3s6rMhs
