This Black History Month, Unifor proudly honours the theme Black Resistance: Honouring contributions, advancing justice. Black history is not only about the past, but also about the courage, leadership, and resilience that continue to shape our workplaces, our communities, and our movement today.
Unifor is excited to announce new spring and fall application deadlines for the Local Union Equity Fund (LUEF).
Created to spark action and deepen impact, the LUEF supports local unions ready to advance equity, amplify equity-deserving voices, and invest in meaningful change. The fund helps broaden and strengthen equity initiatives across the union, encouraging locals to dedicate time, creativity, and resources to campaigns that build a more inclusive movement.
The union has earmarked up to $250,000 for the fund which will support projects in 2026.
In a time marked by uncertainty, turbulence and growing feelings of insecurity, Human Rights Day, marked every December 10, serves as a powerful reminder that human rights are not abstract principles—they are our everyday essentials.
They shape our routines, our workplaces, our relationships and the possibilities available to us. They are the quiet protections and freedoms that allow people to live with dignity, safety and hope.
HALIFAX—Unifor is concerned by reports of International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) Inspectors being refused access to ships in port in Halifax, Vancouver and in Montreal as part of their routine efforts to ensure minimum working and living conditions for the crew are being met.
In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, Unifor brought members together for an unforgettable evening of learning, storytelling, and solidarity.
The 2025 theme—Asian Canadian Legacy: We Contribute. We Serve—was brought to life through a webinar, hosted by Unifor organizers Hassan Mirza and Simon Lau, on May 27. The webinar featured a panel discussion to explore the intersection of immigration, labour, and anti-Asian racism.
