Road
There are now over 20,000 CAW members working in the broader road transportation sector, making this one of the largest sectors in our union.
These members work in a wide range of specific transportation activities. A substantial portion of our members work in the operation of public transit systems in several cities (the larges being Coast Mountain Bus in Vancouver, which employs over 3000 CAW members). School bus drivers (such as over 1500 CAW members working for First Student Inc.) also fall into this sector.
The CAW also represents truckers and couriers (both inter-city and local), with companies such as DHL and Reimer. Some of these members are owner-operators (who own and maintain their own vehicles), while others drive equipment that is owned by the employer.
Finally, the CAW also represents taxi drivers in a number of cities including Ottawa and Windsor.
