The Local union at the Shipyard has a long and proud history dating back to 1937.

“Our Local and National union have been instrumental in making the Irving Shipyard a more inclusive workplace, supporting programs like Women Unlimited and Pathways to Shipbuilding to remove barriers to employment for equity-seeking communities,” said Sampson.

Unifor is proud to represent more than 1,100 skilled trades workers at the Irving Shipyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
