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.
