Labour groups wary of TPP deal
Unifor says 20,000 auto jobs will disappear under watershed trade deal
BY SABRINA NANJI

(TPP) deal signed this month will have major
implications for organized labour, and espe-
cially the automotive industry, according to
the country's biggest private sector union.
Signed by 12 countries, including Canada,
the United States and Japan, the agreement

compensation and lost benefits
for the three days in question, with
full redress and all written records
