Tariffs on Canadian Steel, Aluminum Would Be A Gut Punch to Workers
Posted On: Feb 12, 2025
Feb. 12, 2025 | U.S. TARIFFS | Brian Bryant, International President of the 600,000-member IAM Union, and David Chartrand, IAM Canadian General Vice President, issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States: “A 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum imports would be a gut punch to workers on both sides of the border. It will lead to job losses, higher consumer prices, and broken supply chains vital to industries like automotive, aerospace and defense. “These proposed tariffs will not protect or grow American jobs – it will destroy them. The U.S. and Canadian economies are linked at the hip. Slapping a 25% tariff on these critical materials from Canada would put our national security at risk." International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
