Members step up to support Forward Together vision

Three candidates are announcing today that they proudly endorse Lana Payne and Len Poirier as national leadership to lead our union into the future. Together, they hope to offer strong rank-and-file representation to advance the Forward Together vision as outlined in the campaign platform released this week.

Lana Payne: Why I'm running for President

Like all of you, I love this union with all my heart. And my heart is full with the possibilities of what we can build into the future when we are guided by our trade union principles of democracy, transparency, accountability and solidarity.

Campaign Platform: We have so much to do

Our union was founded as an act of hope: hope for justice for workers, hope for a better world, and hope for a union that lives up to our dreams for every worker in this country. This is no time to go back to outdated ways. This is a time to be bold and brave, and build a modern social union for everyone, with everyone.

Archie's Endorsement

Coming from small provinces, we know that we have to stick together and make sure our voice is loud and strong. Lana has strength of character, tenacity and principled judgment. Lana’s our person. Let’s get her elected president!

Abe's Message

This sister will bring experience, militancy, activism, transparency, inclusion, and membership-driven leadership to Unifor. Workers need such leadership and service more than ever.

UFAWU's endorsement

Lana originally hails from our sister Union, the FFAW-UNIFOR, where she spent 17 successful and highly regarded years. We know Lana to be an excellent communicator, fantastic lobbyist, and incredibly hard worker, and that she has the skill, experience, and dedication to provide solid leadership for Unifor.

Ruth's Message

I have come to know Lana Payne when Julie White was over at the Women’s Department and our friendship has grown over the years. I respect her professionalism, which is yet another reason why I support Lana Payne for Unifor National President.

Forward, Together in Pride

As Pride Month wraps up, it’s important to remember why we have huge celebrations at this time of year and why we, as trade unionists, will always continue to fight for the rights and lives of members of the LGBTQ+ community.
