Education

The CAW offers one of the most extensive labour education programs in the world. Our union's commitment to education has played an enormous role in creating the strong social union that we are today.
We offer programs in a whole range of subjects that range in length from one day to four weeks. Whether you're interested in collective bargaining, health and safety, women's issues, human rights, the environment, international solidarity, workers compensation, how to handle grievances, or how to build a stronger local union, you'll find that our education programs give you the opportunity to envision the world we want to live in, and begin to develop the skills and strategies that will take us there.

The strength of our future is not only at the bargaining table and on the picket line, it is in the classroom.
