Resolution No. 2 Made in Canada Matters: Purchasing Transportation Made in Canada

Unifor National will:

  1. Implement a municipal, provincial, and federal lobbying campaign, in order to convince governments to modify legislation, and introduce new legislation, to better protect jobs in the transportation sector through multiple measures, including Made in Canada
  2. Raise awareness among all locals about buying Made in Canada vehicles in the transportation sector.
  3. Make available to all locals model Collective Bargaining Agreement language promoting Made in Canada purchasing for transportation.

Because:

  • The delegates unanimously endorsed the President’s recommendation to encourage local purchasing during the 2023 Unifor Canadian Council.
  • Unifor represents approximately 46,000 members in the transportation sector across Canada, including many members in vehicle and specialty vehicle manufacturing.
  • Unifor must fight to maintain and create quality jobs in the transportation sector in Canada, through local purchasing.
  • Industrial competition from many other countries makes the market more difficult for local businesses and endangers many of our good jobs.

Respectfully Submitted by: Local 111
