Bob White (trade unionist)
Robert "Bob" White, (born April 28, 1935 in Upperlands, Northern Ireland) is a prominent leader in the Canadian trade union and labour movement. Born in Northern Ireland, he emigrated with his family to Canada at age 13, settling in Woodstock, Ontario.
== Labour movement ==
White began working at age 15 (Hay & Co.) and within a year he had already participated in a strike, his first pro-labour activity. Subsequently, White became fully immersed in the Canadian labour movement as a union organizer and then by 1959 president of Local 636 of the United Auto Workers (U.A.W.), a union based in the United States, that at the time had a large membership in Canadian industry (particularly in automobile manufacturing). In 1960 White was appointed as international representative of the U.A.W. and assigned to organizing duties within Canada. 1972 saw White named as administrative assistant to the director of the National Office of the U.A.W. White succeeded Dennis McDermott as Canadian Director of the UAW in 1978.
In 1984 White encouraged the Canadian Membership of the U.A.W. to split away from the American union and form a new and separate entity, the Canadian Auto Workers Union (properly the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada). An important event in the history of the Canadian labour movement, this split took place largely because the Canadian delegates to the U.A.W. conventions felt that they did not have a strength or voice at the American conventions and that the American "parent" union was not doing enough in the way of protecting the Canadian workers. Specifically, the issue was centered around lump sum payments to hourly workers. This policy was accepted in the United States by the UAW president of the day, Owen Bieber, and he attempted to force it on the workers in Canada. This was at odds with Bob White's ideas on what was needed in Canada, namely annual base rate increases. The schism and the formation of the C.A.W. as a separate entity was successful and White was acclaimed as the first leader of the fledgling union at the first C.A.W. convention in 1985.
