Media Advisory - Unifor available to comment on U.S. auto import hearing


TORONTO, July 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Unifor National President Jerry Dias is available to comment on the U.S. Department of Commerce hearing on the Section 232 national security investigation of imports of automobiles and automotive parts.

"This is yet another abuse of Section 232 to justify unfair trade tactics under the guise of a threat to American's national security," said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. "There are major trade discrepancies with international car makers that must be dealt with, but a scorched earth policy of imposing tariffs on all auto imports into the U.S. would be disastrous for the North American car industry and the jobs that depend on it."
