Unifor’s Communications Department is here to help journalists covering labour related stories. We also support the work of the national union and locals with media relations, news releases, videos, live events, virtual events, and much more.

As Canada’s largest union in the private sector we have in-house experts who can talk about just about any issue or industry. From directors, local union presidents, and front-line workers, we can provide media contacts from than 20 economic sectors to talk to you. Please reach out to one of the Unifor Communications Department representatives for assistance:
