#NoKXL Largest private sector union in Canada: No Northern Gateway pipeline
UNIFOR has more than 300,000 members including the Canadian Auto Workers, Communications, Energy, and Paperworkers Union of Canada as well as the oil and gas industry. The B.C.s Teachers Federation, 41,000 strong and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment also signed the Save the Fraser declaration:
an accord that aims to ban all tar sands projects from First Nations territory and from the ocean migration routes of the Fraser River salmon. In a speech, Gavin McGarrigle, Unifors B.C. director, said a good jobs revolution, with opportunities in clean energy and expansions in public transit, would bring better opportunities to B.C. than the pipeline would.
