Unifor donates $150,000 to help Ukraine and you can help too
Greetings,
The incredible strength and determination the people of Ukraine have shown in the face of the Putin-led invasion has been an inspiration to the world. We must come together and show solidarity and support. Unifor, with our global union friends, has called for an end to the invasion and expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We strongly condemn the war, which hits people and workers first, and call for dialogue, peace, and democracy.
Unifor’s donation to the Red Cross consists of $100,000 from the Social Justice Fund, $25,000 from the national union, $5,000 from Quebec Council and from each of the Atlantic, Ontario, Prairie and British Columbia regional councils to assist with its humanitarian efforts in the Ukraine.
Unifor will continue to assess the situation including additional solidarity with organizations working on the ground delivering humanitarian aid in the coming weeks.

Unifor fait un don de 150 000 $ pour aider l’Ukraine et vous pouvez aider vous aussi
Bonjour,
La force et la détermination extraordinaires dont fait preuve le peuple ukrainien face à cette invasion menée par Vladimir Poutine sont une inspiration pour le monde entier. Nous devons nous unir et faire preuve de solidarité et de soutien. Unifor, ainsi que ses partenaires syndicalistes mondiaux, a demandé la fin de l’invasion et exprimé sa solidarité avec le peuple ukrainien. Nous condamnons fermement la guerre, qui frappe d’abord la population et les travailleuses et travailleurs, et nous appelons au dialogue, à la paix et à la démocratie.
Le don d’Unifor à la Croix-Rouge comprend 100 000 $ du Fonds de justice sociale, 25 000 $ du syndicat national, ainsi que 5 000 $ du Conseil québécois et de chacun des conseils régionaux de l’Atlantique, de l’Ontario, des Prairies et de la Colombie‑Britannique afin de contribuer aux efforts humanitaires déployés en Ukraine.
Unifor continuera d’évaluer la situation, notamment en prenant de nouvelles actions de solidarité auprès des organisations qui travailleront sur le terrain pour fournir une aide humanitaire au cours des prochaines semaines.
DONNEZ MAINTENANT
