CUPE and Quebec Sovereignty

Over the weekend I attended a CUPE educational school. The participants were provided with a 'Glossery of Terms' related to the union movement, and sovereignists will be happy with what was this glossery said.

National Union- A union whose membership is confined to Canada only.

International Union- A union that has members in Canada, Quebec, and the United States.

That being said, CUPE is now an international union, as its members live and work in both Canada and Quebec (though not the United States).
