Unifor National President Lana Payne no longer sees eye to eye with UAW leader Shawn Fain.
In a split with its Canadian sibling, the UAW endorsed President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on foreign-made vehicles and parts — the same tariffs Payne called “reckless and dangerous” for the entire integrated auto industry.
Payne told the Free Press on Thursday, the day a new round of tariffs took effect, that she hasn’t met with Fain in “some time,” adding that she isn’t sure where he’s getting his labor figures to support the pro-tariff stance.
“I don’t know that I would say we have common goals here. Unifor is opposed to these tariffs that the president of the United States is placing on the Canadian auto industry,” she said.
