Bargaining

WINDSOR—Unifor and Titan Tool & Die have reached an agreement, bringing a nearly year-long lockout to an end.

“While the end of operations is not the outcome we hoped for, our members will now receive the severance payment that they are due,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “Unifor truly appreciates the support of our broader union in this struggle and the amazing solidarity these members received throughout.”

PLATTSVILLE, ON—Unifor members at the Saint-Gobain plant in Plattsville, Ontario began strike action on July 24, 2026, after the company failed to make a fair offer.

“Our hard-working members at Saint-Gobain have the full support of Unifor members across the country in their fight for a contract that reflects their contributions to the company,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.

Members voted 97% in favour of strike action if a new collective agreement could not be reached. Key bargaining issues include pensions and wages.

TORONTO—Unifor members working as security officers at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, formerly Casino Woodbine, were locked out at 12:01 a.m. on July 23.

"Our members show up every day to keep these properties safe and running, and they deserve a contract that keeps pace with the cost of living," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "Our bargaining team remains at the table and is ready to reach a fair deal for workers."

TORONTO–Fourteen Unifor members are now on a picket line at Battenfeld Grease after being locked out by the company on July 21, after months of bargaining failed to produce a fair contract.

VANCOUVER — Unifor Locals 111 and 2200 have reached a tentative agreement with Coast Mountain Bus Company covering more than 5,000 transit workers across Metro Vancouver.

The tentative agreement was reached with the assistance of Provincial Meditator Trevor Sones, following further negotiations between the joint bargaining committee and the employer.

TORONTO—Unifor will commence contract negotiations with General Motors (GM) on August 10, 2026. The union represents more than 4,600 members at Ontario GM facilities, including Oshawa Assembly, Ingersoll Assembly (CAMI), St. Catharines Propulsion and Woodstock Distribution Centre. 

TORONTO—Unifor members employed at Ford Motor Company facilities across Canada have voted overwhelmingly in support of a new three-year collective agreement with the company.

Unifor Local 892 members at Mosaic's Esterhazy potash operations have ratified a new three-year collective agreement, delivering wage increases, stronger pension benefits and significant improvements to family and health coverage. 

"This agreement shows what members can achieve when they stand together at the bargaining table," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "Local 892 members secured strong economic gains, but they also won something more: better support for their families, including extended benefit coverage for loved ones after a member's death." 

TORONTO— Unifor has reached a tentative agreement with Ford Motor Company, which covers 5,150 union members employed at Ford facilities in Canada. 

“Securing this tentative agreement comes at a vital time for Canada’s auto workers and our domestic industry,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “Every member of our bargaining committee came to the table resolved to reach a fair deal that protects good union jobs in the most challenging of economic times.” 

VANCOUVER — Members of Unifor Locals 111 and 2200 have voted to reject the tentative agreement reached with Coast Mountain Bus Company.

“Members delivered a strong strike mandate earlier this round, and that mandate remains in place,” said Unifor Western Regional Director Gavin McGarrigle. “Unifor is not rushing to job action and is focused first on working with members to win the changes they need.”
