CMAW's role is to establish and maintain the best possible standards of pay, benefits, and working conditions for members; to organize the unorganized; to promote progressive labour and human rights legislation; to cooperate with other unions and organizations to achieve these aims; to encourage social unionism; to promote and champion workers' legitimate struggles; to provide aid and assistance to members so that they may share in benefits of collective agreements and favourable employment legislation; and to inform and educate workers on the principles and policies of the organization and the benefits they may achieve through organization and collective bargaining. Our aim will be to promote and protect the interest of our membership, to elevate the moral, intellectual and social conditions of working people, to assist each other in sickness and distress. To discourage piecework, to encourage apprenticeship and higher standard of skill, to cultivate a feeling of friendship, and to assist each other to secure employment. To aid and assist all organizations to uphold the dignity of labour, resist oppression by honourable means. To hold it as a sacred principle, that union members, above all others, should set a good example as good and faithful workers, performing their duties to their employer with honour to themselves and to their organization. We will continually strive for the enactment of legislation which will enable us to achieve our objectives. Realizing that a blow at one organization is a blow to all, therefore, it shall be our duty as union members to purchase union-made goods and patronize union shops and business establishments whenever possible to do so.
