Testimonials
Have a look to see what our members have to say...
"Before joining CNFIU our membership felt unable to represent themselves. The willingness of CNFIU
to provide training for all members, combined with the advice, guidance and support gained by having
our CNFIU representatives just a phone call or email away has brought the best of two worlds - the
benefit of a large union, while maintaining our local independence. Through this affiliation our
membership has gained an educated executive that has earned the respect of management."
Gwen Watson, President, LCEA-CNFIU Local #3020
"As a CNFIU local we are able to maintain our identity and control of our local. We’ve reaped
the benefits of unquestionable support, professional advice and legal assistance and still
maintained our own identity."
Al Baswick, President, Local #3005
Peterborough
"Since we joined CNFIU in 2005, this Union has changed the way our members feel about unions. The
CNFIU Educational Seminars we attend twice a year have provided the knowledge we need to better
represent our members. With an experienced CNFIU Representative at the bargaining table, we have
successfully negotiated great collective agreements that we could not have achieved without their
support and expertise. For the first time, our National Representatives stand behind our
convictions. We are not afraid to stand up and fight for our rights knowing that CNFIU is standing
with us. We now have a voice that is being heard, and nothing is better than that."
Debbie Williams, President, Local #3023

"A combination of the educational training programs provided by CNFIU and the strong support along
with the expertise we have received from the Staff Representatives is tremendous. Switching over to
CNFIU was the best move we've made. CNFIU is truly what a union is all about."
Marlene Driver,
President, Local #3018
Peterborough
"CNFIU supports us to support our membership. Through economic ebbs and flows,
political climate changes, and constantly shifting trends in the work force, we
have been able to maintain our voice in the labour movement. CNFIU represents
the interests of a diversity of workers in a wide range of industries, and as
old industries fade and disappear, and new industries emerge and evolve, CNFIU
has also matured and evolved with the times. Within this diverse group, there
remains common ground and a common goal - workers joining together to build
resiliency when faced with adversity, to uphold core values, and to ensure the
collective voice of workers is heard."
Heather Large, President ARTC-CNFIU, Local 3011
"The support and expertise we have received from CNFIU in dealing with management has been
tremendous. Joining CNFIU has clearly been the best thing we have ever done to strengthen our
union."
Moe Wayner, President, Local #3000
