Who is responsible for negotiating the contracts on the union’s behalf?

Unifor’s bargaining committee structure is multilayered, bringing together several committees working collaboratively towards a tentative agreement.

National President Lana Payne leads the process and serves as the official spokesperson. Each of the Ford, GM and Stellantis Master Bargaining Committees is led by their respective elected Committee Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson.

The union negotiating team also includes elected local union and workplace representatives participating on sub-committees, supported by Unifor staff.

Thank you!
