“It is incredibly shameful that despite years of dedicated service, Wescast workers are being taken advantage of by this company,” said Unifor Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi. “Our union will not back down. We will not give up this fight until workers are paid every cent

Gov't investment for new Honda EV plants will further bolster our auto sector & help grow supply chain jobs. However, gov't investment must come with guarantees of good paying jobs, transition supports for workers & respect workers’ rights to organize.

. Bell workers took a pay cut to secure their position in the future but despite making billions BCE still eliminated jobs, says Justin Connolly, President of Unifor Local 25.

Unifor members at MDA's global headquarters and space robotics center in Brampton, Ontario are standing strong on the picket line, demanding fair wages and negotiations.

“We won't back down until our demands are met,” shouts one member.
