    IWA, USWA begin union negotiations on merger By Stuart Hunter, The Province
    Two of Canada's largest unions are beginning the process of amalgamation.

    The national executive of the Industrial, Wood and Allied Workers of Canada has set the wheels in motion to merge with the United Steelworkers of America.

    A resolution was passed at the IWA convention last September 'to aggressively pursue a merger with a larger compatible union' and after talks with several unions, the executive endorsed merger with the Steelworkers.
