About Us
The late 1990’s and the early 2000’s saw a huge impact from the US/Canada free trade agreement. By the year 2003 when the TSJAC was born Manufacturing jobs in Ontario were continuing a steady decline. The Steelworkers union saw a great need to help its members through their loss of work and in many cases social networks and identity. The TSJAC brought those values into our approach centered on peer workers making the connection to our clients.
There is no question that the manufacturing sector has been rocked by the recent economic instability due to a number of geopolitical and economic factors. Traditionally, the manufacturing sector is extremely volatile even in the best of times; the cyclical nature of many industries continues. The incoherence of American trade policy has brought a certain amount of instability to manufacturing that could lead to a downward spiral at any given moment to manufacturing productive capacity, and, with this, layoffs. An inevitable change of administration in the States should change this, but the future remains unclear and the potential for long term disruptions remain.
The Toronto Steelworkers Job Action Centre has a long history of serving manufacturing sector workers and community members in our city.
