The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) (properly the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada) is one of Canada's largest and highest profile trade unions. While rooted in the large auto plants of Windsor, Ontario, Brampton, Ontario, Oakville, Ontario, and Oshawa, Ontario; the CAW has in recent years expanded and now incorporates workers in industries from fisheries to air travel. Currently led by Buzz Hargrove, the union is strongly left leaning and it has traditionally been a strong supporter of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Bloc Québécois (Bloc). However, it began lending its support to the Liberal Party of Canada in ridings which the NDP were unlikely to win in the recent federal elections.
History
The CAW began as the Canadian Region of the United Auto Workers (UAW).
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. Before 1979, the Canadian Region was largely seen to follow in the contractual footsteps of the larger US-UAW, and despite growing differences, continued under the auspice of the UAW until 1985.
