Canadian Autoworkers Union (CAW)

UDR Story

  • In Canada: Auto Workers and Carpenters defy U.S. internationals

    In July, the Canadian Auto Workers union was suspended from the Canadian Labor Congress in a dispute over congress rules which, like the AFL-CIO no-raiding pact, forbid one affiliated union from taking members from another. In defiance of the congress, the Canadian Auto Workers welcomed into its ranks 30,000 members of eight Ontario locals of the Service Employees International Union. According to Buzz Hargrove, CAW president, 11,000 of the SEIU members voted to disaffiliate in workplace balloting; and 95% of the votes supported the CAW in a government collective bargaining election.
