Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions
Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) is a national trade union center in Canada that represents nurses and nursing students across the country. It is the voice for nearly 200,000 nurses and student nurses, advocating for better health care standards, safe working conditions, and fair wages. The CFNU works closely with provincial and territorial nursing unions to address issues affecting the nursing profession and health care in Canada.
History
The CFNU was established in 1981, following the growing need for a national body to represent the interests of nurses in Canada. Since its inception, the federation has played a pivotal role in advocating for the nursing profession and has been instrumental in influencing health care policies at both the national and provincial levels.

The main objectives of the CFNU include:
- Advocating for the improvement of health care standards across Canada.
- Promoting safe working conditions for nurses.
- Ensuring fair wages and benefits for nurses.
- Supporting research and education in nursing.
- Representing nurses' interests in health policy discussions and labor negotiations.
Membership
Membership in the CFNU is made up of provincial and territorial nursing unions. These member organizations represent a broad spectrum of nurses, including registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs), among others.
