Aerospace
There are approximately 10,000 CAW members currently working in aerospaceThis sector has a very strong identity, and a long history of thinking and working on sectoral policy issues, and so it is one of our highest-profile and most important sectors.
There is a surprisingly diverse range of different aerospace-related firms and facilities represented in our union. The sector is also uniquely dispersed across Canada, with a strong presence in Western and Atlantic Canada, as well as Ontario and Quebec. Our membership includes original aircraft manufacturers, including Bombardier (with CAW represented facilities in Toronto and Montreal) and Boeing (with a major components facility in Winnipeg). Key integrated suppliers (such as engine-maker Pratt & Whitney) are also represented. So too are specialized aircraft service and maintenance shops (including Cascade in B.C. and IMP in Halifax), and numerous smaller aerospace suppliers.
In contrast to other manufacturing sectors, the CAW's membership in aerospace has been stable, reflecting the relatively healthy state of this sector.
