Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canada has a large number of relatively small unions, resulting in a fragmented union structure. This is in contrast to countries like the United States, where there are fewer but larger unions. Internal disagreements within unions (B) can contribute to fragmentation, but it is not the defining characteristic of Canada's union structure. While Canada does have both national and international unions (A), this is not unique to Canada and does not necessarily contribute to fragmentation. The existence of unions in every province (D) is also not unique to Canada and does not necessarily contribute to fragmentation. While there are separate unions for private and public sector workers in Canada (E), this alone does not fully capture the fragmented nature of the union structure.
