Thousands of people from across Ontario travelled to Windsor to express their frustration with the U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.
Unifor held a rally on Saturday at the city's Riverfront Festival Plaza with union members coming from as far as Oshawa to take part.
"[U.S. President Donald] Trump's trade war is a direct attack on Canadian workers, and today we are sending a clear message (that) we won't back down," said Lana Payne, Unifor National President.
Speakers at the rally included people working in some of the hardest-hit sectors. This includes healthcare, auto, and forestry.
Also in attendance was Bea Bruske, the President of the Canadian Labour Congress.
"Trump's reckless tariffs are designed to destabilize us, but we are not powerless. We are mobilizing across the country to demand action, protect communities, and defend Canadian jobs with everything we've got," she said.
Unifor has outlined several measures governments should implement to fight back against the tariffs. They are strategic tariff retaliation, penalties for companies that move jobs or operations from Canada in response to the tariffs, enhanced income supports for displaced workers, emergency relief programs to prevent layoffs and maintain critical operations, 'Buy Canadian' procurement policies, and export management and domestic processing of natural resources.
