Union members in Windsor are being encouraged to get involved in the Idle No More demonstration planned for Wednesday.

Members of the movement will make their way from Tilbury, starting at 9:30 a.m., and travel on Highway 401 to the foot of the Ambassador Bridge.

Organizers say it will be a peaceful demonstration, but traffic congestion is possible.

Dino Chiodo is president of CAW Local 444 and the district labour council. He supports the movement, which says it wants to "stop the Harper government from passing more laws and legislation that will further erode treaty and indigenous rights and the rights of all Canadians."

"I think that they're really a group of people that are saying they've had enough. They don't like the way they've been treated. They don't like what's happening to their community and surrounding environment," he said. "What is being used are laws against them and their way of life, and the reality is, we're seeing that more and more, not only with indigenous people. We're seeing it with the labour movement."

Chiodo encourages unionized workers to join the demonstration.

"This is a starting point for us to come together and work with indigenous people to say that we've had enough. It's a matter of being able to say that we're not willing to be oppressed anymore. We're not accepting what you're telling us," Chiodo said.

Organizers said the protest scheduled for Wednesday is not a blockade, but will slow down traffic on Huron Church Road and at the entrance of the Ambassador Bridge, North America's busiest border crossing.

Earlier this month, a demonstration at the Bluewater Bridge held up traffic for more than an hour.

This wouldn't be the first time the CAW has stepped into political waters. Last summer, the CAW made it clear, it is pro-choice and rally against anti-abortion groups.
