About CWU
Not Your Traditional Union
Unions have been slow to reinvent themselves for today’s work and for today’s economy. “Us versus Them” is not a model anyone is buying anymore. And the union movement has shrunk considerably over recent decades as a result. The CWU is a Union for today. We are proud to support strong relationships between labour and management. Nowhere is this more critical than in the construction industry where job opportunities are won and lost on the basis of safety, productivity and efficiencies. It takes a team to bid, secure and complete a project. And we are there to support the healthy functioning of that team.
The CWU is proudly Canadian and proudly independent. We work hard to ensure that your Agreement reflects the values of your workplace. There are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Our ultimate goal is to support the success of our members by negotiating Agreements that provide great employment opportunities and superior earning potential. Welcome to the CWU!
