The I.W.A. is the largest private sector union in British Columbia with a major presence in the solid wood sector. We also have a large presence in Ontario and have thousands of members in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick. We are affiliated with the various provincial Federations of Labour, the Canadian Labour Congress and local Labour Councils. We believe that the crucial contributions of Canadian workers to the Canadian economy have never been fully appreciated or adequately compensated by employers and governments. Many of our members work in communities which are isolated from the urban centres of power and require the representation of our organization to ensure that their interests are represented.
All comments welcome.
