Dear Members,
In the past five days, the situation regarding COVID-19 had moved quickly and created an unprecedented situation for many working people and Unifor members in Canada.
Unifor has adopted an all hands-on deck approach to supporting members during these challenging and uncertain times. We have worked every day to answer questions, communicate with employers, and call on governments to flatten the curve and respect working people in this time of crisis.
Unifor will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across the country, as well as the sectors and workplaces of our union.
We are writing today to share some resources that will be of help to you and help you represent members across the country.

The national union will continue to advocate on behalf of Unifor members and all workers in Canada as we demand greater protections for workers to prevent the spread and lessen the impacts of the pandemic.
In doing that work, Jerry Dias wrote to the federal government on March 5 to make key demands that would protect workers. Read more.
Then, on March 16, we published Jerry’s latest blog, calling for a broadening of our social safety net in the midst of the pandemic and for investments in industry that will make Canada’s economy work for workers. Read it here.
Thank you for your dedication and solidarity.
In solidarity,
