Wikipedia description:

The National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada, commonly known as the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), was a major Canadian labour union that operated from 1985 until 2013. Established following a formal separation from the American-based United Auto Workers (UAW), the CAW represented workers in the automotive sector and later expanded into aerospace, transportation, and healthcare. On August 31, 2013, the organization concluded its independent existence by merging with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) to form Unifor, which became the largest private-sector union in Canada. The CAW was led by three successive presidents during its 28-year history: Bob White (1985–1992), Buzz Hargrove (1992–2008), and Ken Lewenza 2008–2013).
