United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union was established in 1945 in British Columbia through the merger of the United Fishermen's Federal Union and the Fish, Cannery and Reduction Plant and Allied Workers Union. It survived raiding wars with the B.C. Gillnetter's Association in 1952 and the Seafarers' International Union in 1953. Suspected of being under communist influence, it was suspended by the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada in 1953 and not admitted into the Canadian Labour Congress until 1972. The union also had a section in Nova Scotia.[1] The UFAWU joined the Canadian Auto Workers in 1996.[2]
