Sub-series consists predominantly of files documenting the CLC's extensive efforts during the 1960s and 1970s to organize white collar (office and technical) workers employed in such areas as financial institutions, insurance companies, data processing, and other offices. Major topics include the CLC's National Committee on White Collar Organization, the new union established by the CLC (the Association of Commercial and Technical Employees), jurisdictional discussions with affiliated unions having an interest in white collar workers, specific organizing campaigns, conferences, publicity and educational aspects of white collar organizing, research (including organizing potential files and a CLC questionnaire), and general administrative matters. Included are files of organizer Eileen Tallman concerning the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union's efforts to unionize the T. Eaton Company, 1950-1951 (container 511); and six files on the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation's Toronto and District Co-ordinating Council, 1945-1953 (reels H-211 and H-212). The files contain correspondence, organizing literature and other publicity material, reports, notes, minutes, questionnaires, collective agreements, legal papers, print matter, records of organizing contacts, and other material. In addition to CLC national office files, included are files of the Toronto office of the Association of Commercial and Technical Employees.

Microfilm reels H-209 to H-215, H-758 to H-759, H-777, H-809 to H-813.

Arrangement note:

Most files in the White collar organizing, Association of Commercial and Technical Employees sub-series were created by the CLC national office and are described only at the sub-series level. One set of files was created by the Toronto office of the Association of Commercial and Technical Employees, and these files are described in a sub-sub-series.

Availability of other formats note:

Certain files available as originals were microfilmed by the CLC as part of its records management programme. The microfilm version of these files was acquired by the National Archives separately from the originals. See Appendix D of finding aid MSS492 (part 1) for the details. While the originals and microfilm correspond closely, researchers should not assume that they are identical.
