Rail
The CAW presently represents about 11,500 members working in the railway sector. This accounts for some 5 percent of our total membership.
The biggest group of CAW members (5,600) works for CN Rail, Canada's largest railway. Close to 3,000 members work at CP Rail and over 2,000 for Canada's national passenger rail service, VIA Rail. Our remaining members in the railway sector work for a range of smaller railways and suppliers (such as Ontario Northland).
The CAW's Rail Sector Council has become very active in recent years. Greater participation in the Council and its various activities has supported our railway units in winning impressive contract gains.
