Unifor has worked closely with Irving Shipbuilding to build a diverse, modern, skilled workforce and values the relationship between union and company, focused on meeting our shared goals. Good jobs. Great ships.
Today, production commenced on AOPS #7, the first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship built for the Canadian Coast Guard. We're proud to be building this ship right here in Atlantic Canada, as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, in support of Canada and our CCG partners.
