What sets Unifor apart from other unions in Canada?
Unifor is Canada’s largest private sector union, with over 300,000 members in a diverse range of sectors, across the country. Unifor is the certified collective bargaining agent for workers in thousands of workplaces, but also provides an opportunity for all workers – even those without collective bargaining rights – to hold union membership, through its innovative community chapters program.
Unifor is staffed with leading experts in the field of labour relations, economics, communications, research, pensions and benefits, labour law and adult education along with a team of strategic contract negotiators that are the best in the world.
Unifor also boasts the only union owned and operated Family Education Centre, located in beautiful Port Elgin, Ontario. The FEC houses national and international conferences, education seminars and other union-sponsored events, including Unifor’s trademark Paid Education Leave program.
