The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, April 7, edition that union leaders representing auto workers in Ontario are criticizing their American counterparts for supporting U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on the vehicle industry, which have already caused layoffs. The Globe's Vanmala Subramaniam writes that the United Auto Workers union has endorsed Mr. Trump's plan, claiming it will revive manufacturing jobs lost since NAFTA was enacted in 1994. The tariffs, effective Thursday, impose a 25-per-cent charge on all foreign-made cars, including those from Canada. Experts warn that these duties will raise car prices for consumers and potentially lead to further layoffs in the sector. "To see UAW leadership talking about the importance of jobs coming back to the U.S., knowing that Canadian auto workers will be massively impacted, is a betrayal of the solidarity we had as auto unions," said John D'Agnolo, president of Unifor Local 200 in Windsor. Mr. D'Agnolo said that UAW president Shawn Fain's position on tariffs was particularly hurtful given that his local and members of the UAW worked closely together in 2023 when both were renegotiating their respective collective agreements with Ford.
