Local 222 Retirees’ ChapterBy Les MacDonald
CAW Local 222 Retirees’ Chapter President, 2009-present
The Local 222 Retirees’ Chapter was formed on October 8, 1952. Here are the minutes
from the first meeting:
Organization: A meeting was held at 2 p.m. of members of the local, recently retired on pensions, for the purpose of organizing a club.
Election: Twenty-one members were present and unanimously chose Brother Thomas King for president. Brother King took the chair.
The first business before the meeting was the election of a Secretary Treasurer. The call for nominations was made. Brother Albert Sargant was nominated, and elected by unanimous vote.
Dues: Some discussion took place regarding finances. It was felt that some funds should be available for expenses, above what might be provided by the union executive. It was moved by Brother Cook, seconded by A. McKean, that dues of 45 cents monthly be assessed dated from Oct. 1st, – Carried.
Meetings: It was agreed to continue to hold meetings for social gatherings and games every Wednesday at 1 p.m. with the business meetings on the first Wednesday (monthly).
Dues collected from the 21 members present totaled $9.45.
The Retirees’ Chapter Centre opened on September 26, 1975, in the building beside
the Local 222 Union Hall on Bond Street. When the new Union Hall opened in 1990, the
Retirees’ Centre relocated to Phillip Murray Avenue.

Today, we have a very active membership of about 12,000 retirees, who are involved
in organizing and attending rallies dealing with government cutbacks, pensions,
benefits and other social concerns.
Presently there are many activities going on each week, such as tai chi, yoga,
line dancing, 5-pin bowling and euchre. We also have monthly dances, pool or
horseshoe tournaments, buses to casinos, a camera club and quarterly drivers
training classes. Our annual Retirees’ Picnic is held each June.
We hold regular monthly meetings on the first Monday of the month, except July and
August. Meetings are at 1 p.m. at the CAW Local 222 Union Hall.

CAW Family Auxiliary #27By Jackie Finn
CAW Family Auxiliary #27 President, 1982-88, 1991-present
On July 30, 1937, UAW Women’s Auxiliary #27 was granted their charter. The
auxiliary was formed during the GM strike of 1937, when the sisters made
sandwiches and coffee, walked and wheeled baby carriages beside their men on
the picket line.
Dr. Edna Cathon Thomas of Peterborough addressed an organizational meeting at
Oshawa Collegiate and 40 members signed up. Members paid 10 cents a month
dues and met at Engel’s Hall for a while, then met in the original Local 222 Union
Hall above the A&P store at 17½ Simcoe St. N. until the new Union Hall was built
at 44 Bond St. E..
The aims and objectives of the Auxiliary are to educate the women of the automobile
industry, workers and wives of workers, in principles and ideals of trade unionism.
Auxiliary #27 has always worked to assist our Local 222 and any other UAW/CAW
local as well as various other unions who are on strike.
The following is a quote from Sister Ethel Thomson: “Back in 1937, it is doubtful
as to how many of the women who joined really knew the meaning or purpose of
an auxiliary.”
In 1943, Auxiliary members joined women from across Canada in a Roll Back Prices march in Ottawa to protest
the lifting of rent and price controls and the increase in the price of milk.
c 126 c CAW Local 222 – A 75-Year Retrospective c Family Auxiliary #27 c
Today the story is somewhat different. This has been proven by our many
achievements down through the years. Not only have women played an important
role within their labour movement but have also played a prominent part in the
affairs of the community.
Women’s Auxiliary #27 was the first Canadian UAW Auxiliary and still remains the
largest auto workers’ auxiliary in North America.
In 1942, a Soldiers Committee of the Auxiliary was organized and it was active in
support of the war effort. Auxiliary #27 sent cigarettes every two months to Local
222 members serving in our armed forces and sent special parcels at Christmas.
Auxiliary #27 donated a fully equipped canteen to the Red Cross. Members also
donated blood, worked in clinics and played an instrumental part in the meals-on-
wheels program.
Dues were raised to 25 cents and little by little they built up their treasury and were
able to furnish their own kitchen when the Local 222 Union Hall was built at 44
Bond St. E. in 1951.
Since 1990, the Auxiliary continues to enjoy exclusive catering rights at the CAW
Local 222 Union Hall on Phillip Murray Avenue due to the ongoing support of our
Auxiliary members in the kitchen of the Local 222 Union Hall on Bond Street in 1954.

Local 222. Without this privilege we would not have been able to assist the 54
charitable organizations that we have supported throughout the years. We are
proud to say that Auxiliary #27 has donated approximately $400,000 back to the
community from the proceeds of our catering service.
Our membership now consists of 92 members, with the average age being 71.9
years. Our most senior member is Sister Pearl Gavel, who turns 99 in 2012. Sister
Anne Black has the most seniority, with 72 years of service, followed by Sister Betty
Rutherford with 67 years.
One can see we are an aging membership. Our volunteers are committed to keep
the Auxiliary the viable organization it is today and hopefully for many years to
come. Today we still have sisters who volunteer their time at the gift shops at
Hillsdale Manor.
Here is a quote from past president Viola Pilkey: “As a young wife during the 149-
day strike in 1955, I quickly learned the value of the UAW Women’s Auxiliary, now
known as the CAW Family Auxiliary. A slogan at the time was ‘educate a wife and
you educate a family’. We learned the value of working together in this strong labour
Every June, the Auxiliary prepares approximately two thousand lunches for the CAW Local 222 Retirees’ Picnic.
Members are seen above putting picnic meals together in 2000.

union and on the political front where we plan together, make decisions together
and most of all act together. Remember, in unity there is strength.”
Congratulations to CAW Local 222, a local union second to none, on the celebration
of 75 years of commitment and dedicated service to the labour movement and the
community as a whole.
CAW Family Auxiliary #27 is privileged and proud to be a part of the family.

Union Rod & Gun ClubBy Roy Fleming
It was called the Union Rod & Gun Club because, although other people could
belong, it was the union members who voted on the business of the club. We began
as your conservation club in 1938. Membership was 25 cents a year, that was the
same as a half-hour’s work or more at that time.
The governments weren’t happy to see a union forming, and they would send out
inspectors to make sure everything was on the up and up. There was a Local 222
membership meeting but there was no quorum and the labour inspectors were
there to see if they could put us out of business. The Union Rod & Gun Club was
meeting at the same time, over the old A&P store on Simcoe St. N. in downtown
Oshawa, and we all rushed into the membership meeting. Being all Local 222 card-
carrying members, we were able to save the charter.
The first President was Ed Button, other members from the beginning were George
Sugden, Jack Pollard Sr., Garnet Knight, George Brown, Marvin Linton, Dick Courtney
and Jiggs Harlock.
Years ago before we had our own building, this was well before TV, Bill Talbot had an
“in” and would get new conservation shows, with guest speakers about all kinds of

animals and birds, that would be held at the Local 222 Union Hall on Bond St. Most
nights we would be filled to the doors. We URGC members would stay after to clean
up, because it would have been too much for Clarence O’Connor to do on his own.
We got enough money to buy a used trap, operated with poles and pulleys and first
set it up on Doug Knapp’s property on Somerville Ave. Then it got moved to Bob
Brown’s pit on Ritson Rd. N., then over to Phil Dupuis’s on Thornton Rd. N.
This was a time when nobody worked nights, there was only day shifts. We would hold
casting contests at Alexandra Park, just when spinning reels were coming in. Someone
with a level winding reel could still beat them, but you wouldn’t know where to find a level
winding reel today.
After we bought our property north of Newcastle, we were able to offer a double
trap and single trap, as well as the indoor target shooting to go with the new
outdoor range. There’s a spring on the northeast corner of the property where the
Bowmanville Creek starts. After 75 years, I am amazed at the variety of wildflowers
on the property.
Note: Roy Fleming, a founding member of Local 222 and of the Union Rod &
Gun Club, wrote regular articles for the Oshaworker for 60 years. Roy retired
his pen in 2010 but was kind enough to pick it up again to write this article.

of the initiatives and support that Local 222 has been able to provide locally,
nationally and internationally over the years. This social unionism is something that
has been the fabric of Local 222 from the very beginning and something that will
continue into the future.
