  • USW District 3 Strong as Steel Podcast E27 with Director Scott Lunny and Rob Ashton
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode of the Strong as Steel Podcast, Scott Lunny, USW District 3 Director, sits down with longtime labour leader Rob Ashton, the National President of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada, to talk about his campaign to lead the New Democratic Party of Canada.

    This candid conversation dives into:

    -The 2023 longshore strike and the federal government’s use of Section 107
    -Why workers’ right to strike is under threat
    -Why Rob Ashton decided to step up and run for federal NDP leader
    -How the party can reconnect with working-class Canadians
    -Winning back young workers who feel shut out of housing and good jobs
    -A bold “Jobs Promise” building Canadian industries, expanding shipbuilding, strengthening steel and forestry, and creating publicly built co-op housing
    -The leaders who inspire him from Jack Layton to Bernie Sanders to labour pioneers

    This episode is about more than politics — it’s about who speaks for workers, how we rebuild trust and why listening to rank-and-file concerns matters now more than ever.

    If you care about good jobs, union rights, public housing, Canadian procurement and building a future where the next generation is better off, this conversation is for you.
