Canadian Autoworkers Legal Services Plan

I always kind of assumed that we had a Canadian counterpart. Thanks to Paul C. I finally have the URL. (Better spice up that website friends. It's dull dull dull.


CAW Legal Services Plan

When I think of the CAW-LSP, I think of an office staffed with Peter Jennings type father figures, giving out sage advice by the handful, with delicious fresh coffee and doughnuts in endless supply.

I think it is interesting that the Canadian Plan has a lot broader participation by automotive suppliers than the US Plan. (See the "sponsors " page on their website.)

Rumor has it that CAW-LSP is facing the GM crisis sooner than UAW-LSP, because the CAW contract c0mes up first. If GM drops legal services benefits from their CAW contract, we need to make contingency planning 0ur top priority.
