Gindin was research director of the Canadian Auto Workers for many
years and then assistant to union presidents Bob White and Buzz
Hargrove. I don’t believe he’s had had any “grassroots” union
experience as a local activist or organizer. He studied and taught
economics and worked as a researcher for the Manitoba NDP before
joining the CAW, and, of course, has been closely connected with Leo
Panitch and the York University political science department since his
retirement.
This leaves out Sam's constant involvement in organising left groups
within unions besides CAW, his centrality to the efforts of the
Socialist Project and to the Greater Toronto Workers Assembly and to
ongoing attempts to build a pan-Canadian socialist party. He also has
been a supporter of LeftRoots in the US. He has a very deep,
long-standing personal relation with Leo Panitch.
