Hello Lindsay,
We've been following the developments with your local the past little while.
CASAW (our old union and ICTU go way back to CCU days)
Nice to have you joining the CAW family. When we merged from CASAW to CAW 2301
back in 1994, there was some apprehension in joining such a large "auto" union.
But I can say that it was the best decision our union made.
I think I can say (without bias) that its the most progressive union in Canada.
"welcome aboard!"
: Hello to you way up there!
: On 30 Sep 98 a charter meeting will be held to bring
: into being Local 111, formerly ICTU Local 11.
: My co-workers and I look forward to making many new
: friends over the coming years. If the snow and ice get
: you down over the winter, come and see us. Your CAW
: card will get you a free ride on my bus anyday.
