The CAW Family Auxiliary in Oshawa was an integral part of the labor movement in Canada, offering vital support to the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) and their families.
Established to unite the families of union members, the Auxiliary played a significant role in fostering solidarity within the community, particularity during strikes. The Auxiliary was also active in broader social and political advocacy.
They championed issues such as gender equality, social justice, and workers’ rights, often participating in protests, rallies, and public campaigns alongside the CAW.
In addition to that they held many fundraising campaigns that helped many people within our community. Through their dedication and activism, the Auxiliary not only reinforced the strength of the labor movement in Oshawa but also contributed to the wider struggle for fair labor practices and social equity in Canada. Their legacy is one of resilience, community spirit, and unwavering commitment to the principles of justice and equality.
