Description

The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), Canada's largest and most influential labour federation, was formed in 1956 by the merger of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada (TLC) and the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL). As of 2013, it represented the interests of over 3 million affiliated workers. The CLC is the umbrella organization for dozens of affiliated Canadian and international unions, as well as provincial federations of labour and regional labour councils.
In this collection can be found financial statements and ledgers relating to the CLC.
Le Congrès du travail du Canada (CTC), la plus grande et la plus influente des centrales syndicales du Canada, fut fondé en 1956 par la fusion du Congrès des métiers et du travail du Canada (CMTC) et du Congrès canadien du travail (CCT). En 2013, il représentait les intérêts de plus de 3 millions de travailleurs affiliés. Le CTC chapeaute des douzaines de syndicats nationaux et internationaux, ainsi que des fédérations provinciales de travailleurs et des conseils régionaux de travailleurs.
Cette collection contient des états financiers et des registres relatifs au CTC.

From record: Series consists of records of audits of affiliated labour councils, federations of labour, and directly chartered local unions; personnel files; strike fund records; and other financial records, such as financial statements and ledgers. Most pre-merger records pertain to the Canadian Congress of Labour, including financial records on the CCL Department Store Organizing Committee which sought to organize the T. Eaton Company, 1954-1956. While the nominal personnel files relate largely to routine matters, such as pensions, expenses claims, payroll, and the like, some files contain substantive documentation on the activities and official functions of CLC officers, representatives, and other staff. Many nominal personnel files are also accessible geographically, since the file titles usually indicate where a representative was based.
