The merger of two of Canada's largest unions is now complete.Almost 96 per cent of delegates at a conference in Toronto on the weekend agreed that the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers and the Canadian Autoworkers should become the newly formed UNIFOR.
Jerry Diaz was elected its first president.
Unifor now represents almost 7-thousand members in northwestern Ontario, primarily in the areas of forestry, health care, manufacturing and transportation.
