In 2025, Unifor fought for the rights of workers in the face of tariffs from the U.S. and job cuts.
“This is the moment that big corporations and governments choose to go after our rights,” said @lanapayne.bsky.social. Workers have to be "prepared to fight on all the fronts right now."
As a tough year wraps, Unifor's @lanapayne.bsky.social prepares for more challenges ahead.
