Canadian Union of Operating Engineers and General Workers was a trade union founded in June 1960 by stationary engineers and other steam plant workers in Ontario, Canada. The union separated from the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE). This separation set an example which lead to the separation of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) from the parent United Auto Workers (UAW).
