Description

The Canadian Auto Workers union is the country's largest private-sector union, with around 250,000 members in 17 different sectors of the economy, including some 60,000 in the auto industry. That sector has been battered by layoffs and plant closures at the Canadian operations of U.S. automakers General Motors Corp (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), Ford Motor Co (F.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), and Chrysler LLC, owned by private equity group Cerberus Capital Management LP [CBS.UL].
