Pass Anti-Scab Legislation Now!

Unifor members are organizing to see the timely adoption and implementation of Bill C-58, the long-anticipated anti-scab legislation prohibiting replacement workers in federal workplaces.

Adopting Bill C-58 immediately will bring the law up to date to reflect our Constitutional right to strike.

Fix Employment Insurance

A well-functioning EI program can bolster good jobs in the economy and provide income security for all. Urgently implementing permanent reforms, including extending temporary measures retroactively, broadening eligibility criteria, and enhancing financial support, ensures immediate relief and long-term sustainability. These reforms address diverse needs, promote inclusivity, and fortify the EI system against future uncertainties, creating a robust safety net for workers.
