Unifor represents 1,500 members in this fascinating, diverse, but often-overlooked segment of our overall transportation system. Canada is a major coastal power, yet governments have consistently underinvested in our marine transportation infrastructure. Important groups of Unifor members in marine transportation include public ferry services (such as Marine Atlantic and Northumberland Ferries), Great Lakes shippers (such as Algoma), and various support services (including the workers who run the St. Lawrence Seaway, and marine communications and traffic service officers of the Coast Guard).
