Canadian Labour Congress. Research Dept : The Research Department was established at the CLC's founding in 1956. Some of its main activities were the gathering and analysis of data on such topics as the economy, unemployment, consumer prices, and wage trends; providing advice to CLC officers and staff and to affiliated unions on economic questions; collective bargaining research and the analysis of collective agreements; responding to inquiries from affiliated organizations; contributing to briefs and submissions presented to various government bodies; maintaining a research library; and providing support for the CLC's educational programmes, for example with speakers and materials for courses. The department also published specialized pamphlets and bulletins, such as "Labour Research". Directors included Eugene Forsey, John Fryer, and Russell Bell. During 1975-1976, the Research Department was associated with the Legislation Department and the Government Employees Department in a grouping called the Technical Division, for which Frank Chafe served as the overall co-ordinator. The Research Department merged with the Legislation Department on 1 September 1976 to form the Research and Legislation Department.
