SURREY, BC, Oct. 19, 2017 /CNW/ - As part of a national effort to keep the North American Free Trade Talks focused on the needs of working people, Unifor is holding six simultaneous rallies across the country on Friday.

"Canadians need a re-balancing of NAFTA, one that puts workers and communities first," said Gavin McGarrigle, Unifor BC Area Director, who will be speaking at the rally.

Earlier this week Unifor representatives met with MPs to call for a renewed NAFTA that puts the needs of workers and their communities first. Unifor stressed that the government should continue to push stronger labour rights and work protections in all NAFTA countries along with a range of other recommendations to reform auto trade, safeguard Canada's culture, remove extraordinary investor privileges among other issues.





WHAT: Rally for a Better NAFTA
WHEN: Friday, October 20, 9 a.m.PT
WHERE: Constituency Office of MP Sukh Dhaliwal at #202 - 12992 76th Avenue, Surrey BC
WHO: Speakers will include Unifor BC Area Director Gavin McGarrigle; Joey Hartman (Vancouver District Labour Council); Irene Lanzinger (BC Federation of Labour); and Sukh Dhaliwal (Lib., Surrey—Newton)

Rallies will also be held in Windsor, Woodstock, Brampton, Chicoutimi, and Halifax. More details at unifor.org/events and unifor.org/NAFTA
