From August 19 to 21, 2020, we’ll be holding the Unifor Summer Summit, an online forum to allow us to connect and strategize on what comes next for workers after the pandemic.

This summit will include a combination of live broadcast events and closed regional and equity forums. But don’t worry, you won’t be in front of your computer for three days!

During the Event

You can participate on Facebook by commenting, asking questions, and sharing the live feed with your friends.

English public events will be streamed and closed-captioned on Unifor Canada.

French public events will be streamed and closed-captioned on Unifor Quebec.
