The CAW Local 111 was a local union of the Canadian Auto Workers union. It represents the 3300 conventional and community bus operators for Coast Mountain Bus Company in Metro Vancouver. CAW Local 111 was formed from the remnants of the Independent Canadian Transit Union, which had acrimoniously broken from the U.S.-dominated Amalgamated Transit Union. ICTU was a maverick union, never part of the labour mainstream, and eventually the ICTU membership voted to reenter the labour establishment by joining the Canadian Auto Workers, which ironically broke from U.S.-dominated United Auto Workers about the same time ICTU came into being. The union has pushed for changes in fare collection procedures on buses which would reduce confrontations between drivers and passengers. It has had internal disagreements over the strategy of TransLink, the agency which funds transportation in Greater Vancouver. There was a bitter strike in 2001. The union convinced the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal to force the employer to discontinue an attendance management system which it claimed discriminated against employees with a disability. ==Political campaign== On October 21, 2008 the local launched a public awareness campaign calling for "More Buses Now". It is a campaign designed to draw attention to the public demands for more service in the Metro Vancouver area and is driven by leaflets, advertising, and the website MoreBusesNow.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CAW Local 111」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
