Unifor National Council 4000 is the umbrella organization for five regionally based Unifor Local Unions across Canada that represent more than 4,500 members in various sectors, largely within the railway and transportation industry. It is the largest rail Local within Unifor. Prior to the launch of Unifor during the 2013 Labour Day weekend in Toronto with the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions, National Council 4000 was affiliated with the CAW and known as CAW National Council 4000. The new union, Unifor, will consist of 300,000 workers and associate members in industries ranging from railway and transportation to manufacturing and media to forestry and fishing, and many other private and public sector areas. Unifor is the largest private sector union in Canada. CAW Council 4000 was formed in November 1997 at the Founding Convention held at the CAW Family Education Centre (now Unifor Family Education Centre) located on the shores of Lake Huron in Port Elgin, Ontario. The delegates to this convention voted to change the bargaining unit structure of the former Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers Union (CBRT&GW), which merged with the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada) in 1994, from 45-local unions situated across Canada, choosing to form a national council with five regionally based locals to service members from coast-to-coast. The CBRT&GW, which was initially called the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees (CBRE), was Canada's first sole Canadian Union founded in Moncton, New Brunswick on October 12, 1908. This was before the creation of Canadian National Railways (CNR), then a Federal Crown corporation, which saw the amalgamation of government owned railways and the several others that had become bankrupt and placed into government hands. Unifor National Council 4000 represents workers employed at CN and Via Rail Canada, which makes up the majority of the Council 4000 membership across Canada. Additionally, Council 4000 represents workers at Rocky Mountain Catering Co. Ltd.; Savage Alberta Railway (now CN); Toronto Terminals Railway; Atlantic Wholesalers (DC24) (Loblaw Companies) and Loblaw Companies / Atlantic Wholesalers (DC06); Cummins; Loomis Express (Transforce); Wayjax Equipment; support staff from the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour, and the World Trade and Convention Centre Halifax. ==National Council 4000 Leadership== () - ''Denotes deceased'' 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「Unifor National Council 4000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
