Two of Canada's largest labor unions are considering a merger. The Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union say theta they have started talks, and while they are still at an early stage, talks are moving along. Together the two unions represent around 325,000 workers. The merger would be the largest in Canada's history.
