Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Labour Congress. Social and Community Programs Dept : The Social and Community Programs Department was established shortly after the 1970 CLC convention, which had approved a series of social action resolutions and policy statements put forward by a caucus of progressive unionists. Broadly speaking, the Social and Community Programs Department sought to stimulate labour's social involvement at the community level. The department provided a focus for the CLC's activities in such areas as human rights and civil liberties; the status and rights of Aboriginal peoples, minority groups, and women; poverty, unemployment, and social services; the environment; aging and retirement; health (including community health centres); tenants' rights and other housing issues; consumer affairs; and the co-operative movement. The department's work involved extensive liaison and building solidarity with organizations of senior citizens, Aboriginal peoples, tenants, people with disabilities, the anti-poverty movement, and other social action groups. The department also assisted in the CLC's education programme by providing a social and community programmes component to the CLC labour education curriculum. The department's work was carried out by staff based in the CLC head office and by social and community programmes representatives based in CLC regional offices. Jim MacDonald, formerly executive secretary of the National Labour Co-operative Committee, served as was the department's first and only director, 1970-1983. He was followed by Guy Adam who served as the department's national representative and co-ordinator.
