Woodworkers National Executive Board overwhelmingly approves tentative merger with United Steelworkers Canada NewsWire
The National Executive Board of the Industrial Wood and Allied Workers of Canada (IWA) has approved the terms of a tentative merger agreement with the United Steelworkers of America.
The agreement was reached earlier this month by the two unions' merger committees and is now subject to a referendum ballot of the IWA's 55,000 members across Canada. The balloting will begin July 12 and is expected to be completed by August 27.
"If this merger is approved by our membership, the combined force of the Steelworkers and the IWA will create the largest and most progressive industrial union in Canada," said IWA President Norman Rivard. "A merger also represents great diversity, with members working in wood, metals, mining, transportation, trades and services. The addition of our membership would create the Steelworkers' largest membership in the manufacturing sector."------------------------------------------- posted 6:51 AM :: reference link ::
