A Quebec union is calling on the provincial government to take action after an American commercial truck manufacturer laid off 300 more workers at its Quebec plant ahead of a 25 percent U.S. tariff that is set to take effect on Nov. 1.

Unifor Quebec, the union representing workers at truck manufacturer PACCAR, says the company has laid off 300 more workers at its Sainte-Thérèse factory in Quebec, which it says is the result of the ongoing tariff war between Canada and the United States.
