USW condemns decision to abolish the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise

The United Steelworkers union strongly opposes the federal government's decision to abolish the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), arguing that while the office had limitations, eliminating it removes an important tool for holding Canadian companies accountable for human rights and labour rights abuses abroad. The USW calls on the government to reverse the decision and establish a genuinely independent ombudsperson with stronger investigative powers.
