It is time to end the administration and heavy handed loyalty/fealty tactics of International Unions who represent workers in Canada. Canada is the only nation that permits unions from another parent nation to represent workers here. I am a relic and was on the ground during the infamous UAW/CAW split that formed the one parent of Unifor - the CAW - National Union of Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of Canada - as it was known in 1985.
Having the former Human Rights Director of the CAW as the president of the Canadian Labour Congress brings qualified experience and knowledge to this pending freedom vote for Canadian Workers. The Congress has the ability to enter into a Trusteeship/Representation of any group of workers wishing to disaffiliate with one union - while they seek a new home in the Labour Community.
The next step is for the CLC to enter a courtroom and  assume them while the fog clears and a properly administrated vote takes place.
