Normand Cherry
Normand Cherry (born June 2, 1938) is a former politician and union leader in the Canadian province of Quebec. He was a Liberal member of the National Assembly of Quebec from 1989 to 1998 and served as a cabinet minister in the governments of Robert Bourassa and Daniel Johnson.
==Early life and union career==
Cherry was born in Montreal and received his early education in the Rosemont area of the city. He worked for Canadair from 1954 to 1989 and became a prominent labour activist, serving as president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) Local 712 from 1969 to 1989. From 1985, he also lectured at the IAMAW Training and Conference Center in Maryland.
Cherry formed a "Canadair Survival Committee" in late 1985, after the government of Canada announced that it was planning to sell the company to a private investor. Cherry's group sought to ensure that Canadair would remain publicly owned, stay in Montreal, and protect the jobs of its employees.〔"Canadair 'survival' group forms to persuade Ottawa not to sell," ''Globe and Mail'', 23 December 1985, A5.〕 Cherry nonetheless supported Bombardier's successful offer to purchase the company in 1986, saying that the terms of the deal were favourable.〔Alan Toulin, "Selling price for Canadair called too low," ''Toronto Star'', 19 August 1986, E1.〕
In September 1986, Cherry argued that a federal contract to maintain CF-18 fighter jets should be given to Canadair rather than to a competing bid led by foreign-owned firms in Manitoba and Ontario. He said that it was not his intent to promote Quebec's interests at the expense of other provinces and that his primary concern was to ensure the CF-18 technology would remain under Canadian control.〔"Union says F-18 deal must go to Canadair," ''Globe and Mail'', 3 September 1986, A5; "Canadair union launches lobby for fighter maintenance contract," ''Toronto Star'', 3 September 1986, E3. John B. Lang of the Confederation of Canadian Unions noted that there was some irony in this position, in that the IAWAW was based in American and gave its American members a vote on the Canadian leadership. See John B. Lang, "Canadian content," ''Globe and Mail'', 18 September 1986, A6.〕 The government of Brian Mulroney ultimately awarded the contract to Canadair.〔Shirley Won, "Workers' spirits soar with news of more jobs," ''Montreal Gazette'', 1 November 1986, A11.〕
