Instead of negotiating, Canada-based Dajcor Aluminum doubled down sparking outrage by moving forward with efforts to relocate machinery and enlist non-union labour. Unifor is ramping up its Protect Canadian Jobs campaign as a wave of new threats puts domestic manufacturing in the crosshairs.
“Any attempt to remove equipment from a Unifor facility or bring in scabs will always be met with the swiftest possible response from our union. This is a clear case of escalation that calls for action. Our members have every right to defend their jobs, their plant, and their community from these deceitful tactics,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.
From outsourcing production to shipping equipment across borders and hiring replacement workers, companies are taking bold steps that put Canadian jobs and communities at risk. The union is staying vigilant, pushing back hard to defend the livelihoods and industries that form the backbone of the country.
