Contract talks between Unifor and the Detroit Three automakers begin later this summer. This website will serve as Unifor’s official source of information for members during the collective bargaining process, in addition to communications members receive directly from their locals.
Unifor represents more than 20,000 highly skilled Detroit three workers including at Fiat Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. The union also represents several thousand more workers at auto parts suppliers throughout Canada.
Each round of contract talks is important. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic persists and economies struggle, this round of talks is especially unique and challenging. The future is uncertain. If anything, this crisis has highlighted the need for maintaining and promoting Canada’s industrial sectors – underlining why “Made in Canada Matters” to both workers and consumers. The auto industry, one of Canada’s main economic drivers, is central to this. This year’s contract talks will pivot on good jobs and future investment.
