Montreal – Unifor invites its members and the general public to join the March for a Better NAFTA to demand an agreement that protects good jobs, and respects labour, environmental, and democratic rights.
WHAT: March for a Better NAFTA
WHERE: Rallying point at Dorchester Square (on Metcalfe north of René-Lévesque Blvd.)
WHEN: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 11:00 a.m. ET
WHO: Jerry Dias, Unifor National President
Renaud Gagné, Unifor Quebec Director
Marchers will be led by Unifor National President, Jerry Dias and Unifor’s Quebec Director, Renaud Gagné. After rallying at Dorchester Square the demonstrators will march to the Bonaventure Hotel, where Round Six of NAFTA renegotiations are being held.
NAFTA continues to erode the rights of working men and women in North America. Good jobs are on the chopping block in the NAFTA renegotiations while the U.S. has launched unfair attacks on the aerospace, forestry and pulp and paper, automobile, aluminum and several other sectors.
Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
