Unifor Local 444 is an amalgamated local union affiliated to the general trade union Unifor. Founded in 1942 as the Chrysler Division of UAW Local 195, Local 444 became a stand-alone union (then affiliated with the U.S.-based United Auto Workers) in 1956. Following the separation of the Canadian Auto Workers from UAW, the union renamed to CAW Local 444. In 2013, the Canadian Auto Workers union and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union merged to form a new union call Unifor.
