In both countries, our union supports strong, targeted trade enforcement against dumping and global overcapacity. Canada and the United States should work together to confront those challenges rather than Trump bullying Canadian workers and companies,” Warren said.As international unions, the USW and IAM represent workers in both Canada and the United States. Together, they are calling on the two countries to confront unfair global trade practices, strengthen North American industrial capacity and protect workers throughout their integrated supply chains. They know that tariffs on Canadian goods will disrupt deeply integrated supply chains and put good jobs and communities at risk on both sides of the border.About the United Steelworkers unionThe USW represents 225,000 members in nearly every economic sector across Canada and is the largest private-sector union in North America, with 850,000 members in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean.Each year, thousands of workers choose to join the USW because of the union’s strong track record in creating healthier, safer and more respectful workplaces and negotiating better working conditions and fairer compensation – including good wages, benefits and pensions.For more information, please contact: François Soucy, USW Communications, 873-355-2841, fsoucy@usw.caThis advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
