TORONTO—Unifor applauds the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)'s decision to proceed with developing rules that will ensure Canadian programming is available and visible on online streaming services. At the same time, the union is also calling on the federal government to also immediately move ahead with implementing the contributions requirements for digital streamers.
The Commission’s decisive move comes after the issue played a significant role in ending trade talks with the U.S.
Unifor opened negotiations with Stellantis today with the union focused on the future of more than 9,000 members at Stellantis facilities in Ontario and Alberta.
More than 45 Unifor Local 1990 members gathered in Calgary on July 6–9 to discuss the upcoming Alberta referendum. Organized by the Membership Mobilization and Political Action Department, the training session reviewed all of the steps in member to member campaigns and aimed to provide members with new skills they would need to grow the Pro-Canada, Pro-Immigrant movement.
The federal government is fast-tracking a review of Canada’s Labour Code. Workers' rights, including the right to strike, must not become casualties of corporate pressure. Watch this update from Unifor National President Lana Payne to learn what's at stake and why Unifor is fighting back.
This week, transport workers and unions around the world are joining the International Transport Workers’ Federation’s Safe Rates Week of Action. Unifor is with them, fully and without reservation.
The connection between driver pay and road safety is documented and measurable. When workers are paid too little for the time they work, they drive longer hours, skip rest, and take risks no worker should ever have to take.
That is not a choice. It is what an industry built on cost-cutting produces.

Dear Premier Holt,
On behalf of Unifor and the workers at Agropur Dairy Cooperative’s Sussex-area plant whose livelihoods are being threatened, we are asking the Government of New Brunswick to immediately re-evaluate its decision to provide Agropur with $2.4 million in public funding.
Deborah Flint CEO – Greater Toronto Airports Authority Toronto, ON
Dear Ms. Flint
I am writing to raise a matter of growing urgency for workers across Canada’s aviation sector and for the stability of airport operations at Toronto Pearson: the continued practice of contract flipping and the escalating impacts it is having on workforce continuity, safety culture, and the long‑term resilience of airport services.
