Our Mission
The economics of size and the philosophy " there's strength in numbers" brought about a merger with a larger union - the Communications, Energy & Paperworkers Union in 1993. This merger created a media sector within the CEP (the “M” in Local 72M). This new sector has brought together a diverse group of broadcast and print locals including producer/writers from SONG (Southern Ontario Newspaper Guild) and producer/columnists from TNG (Toronto Newspaper Guild).
On August 31, 2013 CEP merged with CAW to form the largest private sector union in Canada, with more than 300,000 members across the country, working in every major sector of the Canadian economy.
