The policy document sets out fundamental issues for workers in the resource industries that Unifor represents, including mining, forestry, fisheries, oil and gas. This document acknowledges the dangers of climate change, respect for First Nations rights, need for stability and economic sustainability, regulating foreign ownership, need for Canadian jobs, etc. It outlines its opposition to any pipeline development for export (including Line 9), under the principle that refining jobs should be kept in Canada. Also includes as an Appendix, a useful compendium of the past policy statements and reports of Unifor's predecessor unions: CAW and CEP, going back to 2008.
