CNFIU - LiUNA Local 3000 represents several independent employee associations and thousands of workers in many sectors across Canada.
CNFIU was formed to assist Independent Unions in maintaining and protecting the integrity of their independence within the Canadian labour movement, and to establish an organization where all Independent Union representatives could access extensive resources, training and education in all areas of union representation.
Since CNFIU was launched in 1980, its mandate has expanded to encompass the needs of unorganized employees who require assistance and guidance in forming their own Independent Union under the banner of the Canadian National Federation of Independent Unions within their own workplace. Without the assistance of CNFIU, this option is not financially realistic for many employees who are seeking union representation but are not prepared to join a traditional union.
