TEAMSTERS CANADA
Statement of Purpose
Section 1. In recognition of the distinct national character
of Teamsters members in Canada, the General
Executive Board has designated Teamsters Canada as
the nationwide representative of all Canadian Teamsters.
By incorporating the unique structure of Teamsters
Canada in this Constitution, we acknowledge the sovereignty
of the nation of Canada and the diversity and distinctiveness
of its political, cultural, legal, and social
institutions. Canadian Teamsters reflect their country’s
distinct French and English heritages, each with its own
constitutionally protected historical and linguistic traditions,
labour relations systems, laws, and customs.
