United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union
The United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union was established in 1945 in British Columbia through the merger of the United Fishermen's Federal Union and the Fish, Cannery and Reduction Plant and Allied Workers Union. It represented fishers, shoreworkers, and workers in fish processing and transport, and fought for improved wages and working conditions in the industry as well as the imposition of fishing quotas and licensing requirements.〔 George North, ''A Ripple, A Wave: The Story of Union Organization in the B.C. Fishing Industry'' (Vancouver, BC: Fisherman Publishing Society, 1974).〕 The union survived raiding wars with the British Columbia Gillnetter's Association in 1952 and the Seafarers' International Union in 1953. Suspected of being under communist influence, it was suspended by the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada in 1953 and refused admittance to the Canadian Labour Congress until 1972. For example, a longtime president of the UFAWU, Homer Stevens, ran as the Communist Party candidate in the Burnaby-Richmond-Delta riding in the 1970s.〔 Stephen Hume, "'He was the best of who we are': Tribute Sunday to gritty labour leader Homer Stevens," Vancouver Sun, 19 October 2002. 〕 The union also had a section in Nova Scotia.〔(Inventory of UFAWU records in the University of British Columbia Library's Special Collections ), retrieved February 19, 2008〕 The UFAWU joined the Canadian Auto Workers in 1996.〔Canadian Auto Workers,(What we do: Chapter 1 ), retrieved February 19, 2008〕
