CRU: USW seeks exclusion for Canada from Trump’s tariffs
Written by CRU Group
Members of the United Steelworkers (USW) union have approved a resolution calling for permanent exemption from the 25% Section 232 levies US President Donald Trump has applied to Canadian steel and aluminum imports into the United States.
The USW, which represents metal workers in Canada and the Caribbean as well as the US, is also urging stronger enforcement against countries such as China which break trade rules, and a coordinated Canada-US strategy to protect and increase union jobs across the North America.
