The Canadian Auto Workers union is one of the largest private sector unions in the country, with 200,000 members, from coast to coast to coast.
Since the CAW's founding convention in 1985, the union has continued to grow through organizing and mergers with other unions into a diverse and progressive organization representing workers throughout virtually every sector of the Canadian economy.
The CAW is not only dedicated to fighting for workers' rights at the bargaining table, it's equally committed to taking on economic, political and social issues that affect its members and their families in the broader community.
The WCB provides workplace injury insurance for more than 18,000 employers, representing about 300,000 workers across Nova Scotia.
The WCB sets the standard for workplace injury insurance. We inform and inspire Nova Scotians in the prevention of workplace injury, but if it occurs, we support those whose lives it touches by championing a timely return to safe and healthy work. That is our mission.

The Mental Health Commission of Canada is a catalyst for transformative change. Our mission is to work with stakeholders to change the attitudes of Canadians toward mental health problems and to improve services and support. Our goal is to promote mental health and help people who live with mental health problems lead meaningful and productive lives. The Mental Health Commission of Canada is funded by Health Canada.
The Labour Program helps Canadians to participate in the new global economy. We do this by conducting research on developing workplace trends and by providing the latest information on collective bargaining and agreements. We develop, administer and enforce workplace legislation and regulations which cover industrial relations, health and safety and employment standards, and workplace equality. These laws cover federally regulated workers and employers. The Labour Program also works closely with provincial and territorial governments, unions, employers, and international partners to enhance working conditions and ensure healthy and fair workplaces for all Canadians.
