Helping Existing Independent Unions Thrive in Today’s Labour Movement

Independent Unions are constantly facing the challenges of a fluctuating economic climate, corporate downsizing, mergers, buy-outs and a growing anti-labour business environment.

The unique structure of the CNFIU provides your organization with all the resources you need for effective workplace and community representation while maintaining your independence.

CNFIU offers your Independent Union a place where you can pool your resources with other labour organizations without losing your own autonomy, and face challenges armed with the information and resources you need to provide the best representation possible to your members.

CNFIU understands the importance of labour relations training and education and provides an extensive variety of programs to give Union Officers and Stewards the tools to assist them in fully representing their members.

CNFIU provides training in negotiations, grievances, arbitration, health and safety, workers’ compensation, employment standards, labour law, human rights, steward training, union organizing, union leadership and administration, public speaking, workplace violence, and much more.

These services, combined with access to professional labour relations expertise, would normally be financially out of reach for most small Independent Unions.

If your Independent Union or Employee Association needs assistance in any of the following areas, contact us.
