Unifor Convention Resolutions

Breaking News:

Both of these resolutions were endorsed by the Unifor Local 222 membership meeting on Thursday, May 5, 2022.

Local Unions can, and should, send resolutions to the Unifor Constitutional Convention to advocate for the policies our members need. Here are two important resolutions on improving pensions, and getting back to the fundamental union principle of equal wages, benefits and pensions. Both of these resolutions were endorsed by the Local 444 membership meeting, but the more Locals that support them the better.

Equal Wages, Benefits and Pensions
