Unifor’s fourth Constitutional Convention is just weeks away and it’s time for your local to register your delegates before the July 22, 2022 deadline and book travel and accommodations.

This year’s theme is #UniforTogether and the convention starts Monday August 8, 2022 until August 12, 2022 at the Toronto Convention Centre.

It’s the first chance for members to connect in person since 2019, after the last two Canadian Councils were cancelled due to the pandemic. The union has not gathered since the Constitutional Convention in Quebec City in 2019.

In addition to participating in the election to select new National Officers and Regional Directors in the West, Ontario and Atlantic Region, delegates will be welcomed with a jam-packed agenda.

Delegates will not want to miss important discussions and debates about climate change, right wing politics and the disturbing rise of hate, plus Unifor’s research department will present Unifor’s plan to build worker power and so much more. There will be updates from the National Secretary-Treasurer on the union’s finances, reports from the Quebec Director and Regional Directors and of course debate over many resolutions and constitutional amendments. The convention is the highest governing body of our union, and it is essential to our democratic process.

Unifor has much to celebrate this year and there will be new videos showcasing the union’s recent successes, member-driven videos about transition to electric vehicles, racial justice and celebrating front-line workers, plus social events and opportunities to support worthy causes that align with the union’s progressive social justice and political priorities.

It’s an event you really need to attend in person to experience. Child care is available.

There is no fee to register your local union delegates and registration is online only here. Your local entitlement and registration password was emailed to you.

More information on local union delegate entitlement is available here.  To apply for an additional delegate from an equity seeking group email treasurer@unifor.org.
