TORONTO – Unifor will unveil its strategy to #BuildBackBetter with the release of the union’s comprehensive ‘Road Map for a Fair, Inclusive and Resilient Economic Recovery’.
“Unifor’s plan is designed to build a more strategic and self-reliant economy that can both withstand and prevent future crises,” said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. “This is an ambitious road map but I think ambition is what our country and its workers need right now.”
Built on the principles of economic justice, the new recovery plan is broad in scope with dozens of recommendations targeting all levels of government. The plan organizes policy recommendations into five themes of income security, green jobs and decarbonization, critical infrastructure, rebuilding domestic industrial capacity, and strong, enforceable conditions on corporate support packages.
