	Canadian Auto Workers union to stump for Liberals in next Ontario election (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Canadian Auto Workers union has decided, in effect, to stump for the election of the big business Liberal Party in the next Ontario election, which is likely to be held in the spring of 1999.
		It is highly likely that the NDP leadership and union bureaucracy have struck a deal under which the NDP will tacitly accept the unions allying with the Liberals in the majority of Ontario constituencies, in exchange for the unions throwing their full resources behind the NDP in 20 or 30 ridings.
		If the union bureaucrats are so visceral in their opposition to Harris it is because he has reduced their influence, by discarding many of the corporatist arrangements set up by his Liberal and NDP predecessors.

	Canadian Auto Workers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UAW was founded in August 1935, and the Canadian Region of the UAW was established in 1937 at General Motors's Oshawa, Ontario plant after a contentious and violent strike.
		In 1984, the Canadian section of the UAW, under the leadership of Bob White and his assistants Buzz Hargrove and Bob Nickerson, broke from the UAW because the American union was seen as giving away too much in the way of concessions during collective bargaining.
		A settlement was reached a year later that allowed the CAW to rejoin the national labour federation but relations with other unions such as the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the United Steel Workers of America and SEIU remain strained and the CAW remains outside of the Ontario Federation of Labour.

	Chrysler and Union Face Crucial Talks in Canada - New York Times
		Chrysler's Canadian workers are aware of both the competitive burdens that the company faces as well as its recent spurt of success.
		Jim Stanford, the economist for the Canadian union, said much of the shift since the last contract was simply due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, which has moved from about 63 cents on the American dollar in 2002 to 80 cents now.
		Still, the Canadian union covers 39,000 active workers, a fraction of the roughly 280,000 workers covered by the United Auto Workers union, which negotiated a separate four-year contract in 2003.

		The union is trying to organize about 4,000 workers at the manufacturing plant, which makes Corolla sedans, Matrix crossover vehicles and Lexus RX 330 sport utility vehicles.
		Organizing workers at Toyota in Canada would be a huge coup for the CAW, which has for decades represented Big Three workers, but failed in a union organizing drive in Cambridge four years ago.
		Mitic said the union's organizing drive has a better shot at success this time because new, younger employees "are realizing it's time to have some input and say in what happens in their everyday workplace."
