Steelworkers Union President Calls for Canada-U.S. Unity in Quebec Amid Trade War
Roxanne Brown will urge both governments to resume talks as 50% U.S. steel tariffs and Canadian counter-tariffs strain cross-border workers.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, USW International President Roxanne Brown held a press conference at the Sheraton Laval in Laval, Que., addressing escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada.
- The United States imposed 50 per cent tariffs on steel this summer, prompting Canada to respond with equivalent counter-tariffs that union leaders say damaged the historically strong economic partnership between the two nations.
- Representing 850,000 workers across the United States and Canada, the USW urged both governments to return to the negotiating table, with Brown emphasizing that the North American steel industry depends on cross-border collaboration.
- Brown argued that North American leaders should redirect focus toward international competition from markets like China rather than ongoing trade disputes currently hurting workers on both sides of the border.
- USW Canadian National Director Marty Warren and Director Nicolas Lapierre attended the event, demonstrating the union's unified stance as it pressures officials to find a path forward for affected industries.
