Canada is responding to the U.S. tariffs with retaliatory measures and approximately $7.5 billion in federal support for workers and affected industries.
The supports include temporary EI measures, additional EI weeks for long-serving workers, expanded access to EI for workers who leave their jobs, and programs connecting unemployed or underemployed workers with major projects.
At the same time, labour organizations are pushing governments to ensure workers and their families are not overlooked.
The message is clear: temporary assistance is helpful, but stronger and more permanent measures may be needed if the trade dispute continues.
UFCW EPC is also being engaged by government and is actively providing input and advocating for workers.

Congratulations to the members at First Defence Security on ratifying their first collective agreement with UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local 864!
This landmark first agreement represents the strength of workers coming together to achieve meaningful improvements and lays the groundwork for even greater gains in the future.
Members secured average first-year wage increases of approximately 10%, along with stronger scheduling protections that ensure available work is offered fairly, with seniority respected when awarding open shifts.
The agreement also recognizes long-service employees with additional paid personal days and includes enhanced workplace supports such as employer-paid security licence renewals, a shoe allowance, and improved vehicle and mileage compensation for members who use their personal vehicles for work. Importantly, the contract also provides assistance for members working to protect and advance their immigration or residency status.
This first collective agreement delivers real improvements to wages, workplace protections, and working conditions while establishing fair processes that members can build on in future rounds of bargaining. Congratulations to the bargaining committee and every member who stood together to make this achievement possible.
Your solidarity has delivered a strong first contract and a brighter future for all.

UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local 864 is proud to welcome 12 new members from the rink staff at the Membertou Sports and Wellness Centre in Membertou, Nova Scotia.
Members are looking for job security, increased wages, improved work-life balance and to have a concrete seniority list.
Unionization gives these members a collective voice and the ability to bring their issues to bargaining to be rectified.
Aside from these asks, members continue to strengthen the solidarity in their community, joining several other Membertou workplaces unionized with UFCW Canada.
Join us in welcoming these new members!
