On May 22, 2019, the federal government announced it will purchase two additional Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS), adding to the contract currently underway at Irving Shipbuilding in Halifax. The news comes as a relief to MWF-Unifor Local 1 members who ran the Ships Stay Here campaign.
Publicly and behind the scenes, Unifor members at the Halifax shipyard raised awareness about the forecasted gap in work between fabrication contracts and pressured the federal government to ensure the work remained steady. This campaign has been a success and Unifor congratulates and thanks the members for their excellent work.
