Marty Warren, USW National Director, argues that Cleveland-Cliffs’ decision to lay off workers contradicts the commitments it made when acquiring Stelco, leaving Canadian workers to pay the price for a strategy that benefits its U.S. operations.

ALT Graphic highlighting an Oct. 22, 2026 Globe and Mail opinion article about Cleveland-Cliffs and Stelco. A photo shows Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves. USW National Director Marty Warren is quoted: “He pretends tariffs cause the layoffs. But admits ‘we acquired Stelco with the decision already made.’”
ALT graphic featuring two excerpts from an Oct. 22, 2026 Globe and Mail opinion article. One says the Stelco acquisition “has nothing to do with Canada’s benefit” and that Canadian workers are “paying the price.” The other says Canadian operations are being stripped down to benefit Cleveland-Cliffs rather than Canada.
ALT Graphic featuring two excerpts from an Oct. 22, 2026 Globe and Mail opinion article. One highlights Cleveland-Cliffs’ “legally binding assurances” to maintain unionized jobs for five years. The other argues that conditions cited to justify layoffs were “created and advocated for by the company itself.”

Opinion: More mining means more paycheques for British Columbians vancouversun.com/opinion/op-…
Scott Lunny (he/him) retweeted
A strong forest sector helps support the public services British Columbians rely on.
Through stumpage, taxes, tenure fees and other revenues, the forest sector in BC generates $3.4 billion annually for federal, provincial and municipal governments—helping fund health care, education, infrastructure and other priorities across the province.
When forestry is strong, the benefits reach far beyond the mill.

This week, we were proud to welcome nearly 200 members from our union’s mining sector to Pittsburgh for the Mining Conference. The conference focused on building power & solidarity across our mining locals in both the U.S. and Canada.

We cannot control the trade war, we can improve hosting conditions in BC.
This is an unprecedented moment of unity across BC’s forest sector- calling for immediate government action. We are ready to work with the Premier!
Scott Lunny (he/him) retweeted
B.C.’s forest sector is at a breaking point. Immediate action is required.
Organizations representing workers, manufacturers, contractors, communities and businesses across B.C.’s highly integrated forest sector have come together to call on Premier David Eby and the Provincial government to urgently establish a Forestry Crisis Action Group.
Led by the Premier’s Office, the group would bring together senior government decision-makers and forest sector representatives with a clear mandate: get wood moving, reduce costs, remove regulatory barriers, protect operating businesses, and retain—not retrain—B.C.’s skilled forestry workforce.
We stand ready to work with the Premier and Cabinet to stabilize the sector, protect jobs and restore B.C.’s global competitiveness.

The BC Building Trades is proud to stand with over 15 unions calling on BC Ferries to build their next round of vessels here in BC. British Columbians deserve good jobs and ferries that work when they need them. Add your voice at buildthemhere.ca

BREAKING NEWS: Youppi! has signed an executive order to rename Washington Nationals as “Montreal Expos,” a change the mascot says would take effect immediately
There's no time to waste: secure a working forest, get fibre to local mills, and pass a Forestry Jobs Protection Commissioner Act before we lose more mills and jobs. BC'ers deserve good forest jobs, local manufacturing, and strong communities.

Kim Haakstad, President & CEO of COFI, says the breakdown in Canada–U.S. trade talks will create real challenges for BC’s forest sector, but Ottawa had to walk away if negotiators couldn't secure a deal that worked for Canadians broadly.
With punishing U.S. tariffs hitting BC forest products, the need for urgent action here at home is even greater.
Get more wood moving. Reduce costs. Remove regulatory barriers.
These are the things we can control, and the steps we need to take to keep people working, mills operating and BC producers competitive.

No deal is better than a bad deal. Better to fight now rather than accept a shitty deal. New 50% tariffs will hurt, but Canada can retaliate, provide real support to affected workers & industries, & double-down on strengthening our Canadian industrial capacity.
