The TLC and CCL had started to examine prospects for unity in 1953, paralleling similar discussions in the United States between their American counterparts, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Joint TLC-CCL Unity Committee meetings were followed by a no-raiding agreement in 1954 and a merger agreement in May 1955. The CLC expanded soon after its April 1956 founding convention when the One Big Union and a number of the traditionally independent railway brotherhoods joined the new federation.
The CLC's overall membership has, since 1956, both grown substantially and changed in composition. At the time of the 1956 merger, there were 117 affiliated national and international unions and about 400 local unions that had been chartered directly by the TLC and CCL, with a combined membership of just over 1,000,000 Canadian workers. By the early 1990s, there were 72 affiliated national and international unions, the decrease owing in part to the process of mergers between unions; by 1998, the number of directly chartered locals had decreased to 10, often through the transfer of these locals to affiliated national and international unions. In 1998 the combined membership of the unions in the CLC was about 2,600,000 (roughly two-thirds of the Canadian labour movement). The CLC receives most of its funding from a per capita tax based on the membership of affiliated unions. The congress's membership dropped in 1981 following the suspension of several international building and construction trades unions, which left to form a new labour central, the Canadian Federation of Labour (CFL). Following the decline of the CFL in the 1990s, and its demise in 1997, many of these building and construction unions have since re-joined the CLC. The proportion of members in national and international (US-based) unions has changed markedly since 1956. While most members belonged to internationals at the time of the CLC's founding, there has been a steady increase in the relative membership in national unions. Two factors underlying this transition have been the decision of the Canadian membership of some internationals to form their own unions (such as the Canadian Auto Workers); and the great expansion in national public-sector unions (such as the Canadian Union of Public Employees [CUPE]). The gender composition of the CLC has also changed substantially since 1956, when the labour movement was predominantly based in blue-collar industries and male in its membership and leadership. The feminization of the CLC is in part a consequence of the advances in organization among public-sector and office workers in such unions as the CUPE.
The CLC's fundamental policies are set at its constitutional conventions, which were held biennially from 1956 to 1996, and have been held triennially since 1999. The CLC Executive Council, which is responsible for policy decisions between conventions, has had a varying composition. In addition to the four elected full-time officers (the president, secretary-treasurer, and two executive vice presidents), the Executive Council has included elected, designated, and ex-officio vice presidents (general, at-large, regional, and provincial); in 1992, the Executive Council expanded to include vice presidents for visible minorities and gender-affirmative action, and in 1996 a vice president for the Aboriginal community was added. A smaller Executive Committee takes care of the day-to-day operation of the congress. An advisory body called the General Board (consisting of the Executive Council plus one representative from each affiliated national and international union) was established in the CLC's first constitution, but was soon dropped. The first president of the CLC was Claude Jodoin, who served from 1956 to 1967. He was succeeded by Donald MacDonald (1967-1974; acting president during 1967-1968), Joe Morris (1974-1978), Dennis McDermott (1978-1986), Shirley Carr (1986-1992), Robert White (1992-1999), and Ken Georgetti (since 1999). Donald MacDonald was the CLC's first secretary-treasurer, serving from 1956 to 1967. He was followed by William Dodge (1967-1974), Donald Montgomery (1974-1984), Shirley Carr (1984-1986), Richard Mercier (1986-1992), Dick Martin (1992-1999), and Nancy Riche (since 1999).
Many of the principle functions and activities of the CLC are reflected in the names of the departments established at the CLC's founding in 1956. These were: the Organization Department, which was concerned with organizational issues (such as organizing, collective bargaining, strikes and lockouts, and jurisdictional questions) of affiliated national and international unions and of directly chartered local unions; the Legislation Department, concerned with legislative and government issues at the federal and other levels; the Government Employees Department, concerned with the rights of government and public employees; the International Affairs Department, responsible for CLC's international relations and policies; the Education Department, concerned with labour education; the Political Education Department, responsible for support for the New Democratic Party (NDP) and other aspects of the CLC's political programme; the Federations and Councils Department, concerned with affiliated provincial federations of labour and local labour councils; the Public Relations Department, responsible for the CLC's journal "Canadian Labour / Le Travailleur Canadien" and other aspects of the congress's communications programme; the Research Department; and the Union Label Trades Department. The departmental structure established in 1956 has since undergone several re-organizations and additions, such as the establishment of the Social and Community Programs Department in 1970, the Women's Bureau (1977), and Health and Safety (ca. 1984). Each CLC department normally reports to one of the full-time officers, each of whom is responsible for a portfolio of the congress's departments and functions. More information on the functions and activities of the CLC's departments is available in the series descriptions for the records of those departments.
In addition to the work carried out by departments, the CLC has from time to time also undertaken special projects and campaigns. Some of the more prominent were: the New Party movement that transformed the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation into the NDP, 1958-1961; the campaign of the 1960s and 1970s to organize white-collar (office and technical) workers; the 14 October 1976 Day of Protest, a national general strike against wage controls; and campaigns beginning in the 1980s against de-regulation and free trade. Since the 1980s there has been an increased emphasis on achieving labour's goals by building coalitions with other community groups (for example, the National Health Coalition and the Action Canada Network).
While many of the CLC's staff are based at its headquarters in Ottawa, other staff (including representatives and regional directors of organization and education) are based in regional offices. The CLC has maintained regional headquarters in Vancouver and Burnaby (Pacific Region), Regina (Prairie Region), Toronto (Ontario Region), Moncton (Atlantic Region), and until ca. 1989 Montreal (Quebec Region), as well as offices in other cities.
In addition to its operational departments, the CLC has standing and advisory committees devoted to several of its main areas of activity. The membership of these committees has typically consisted of CLC officers, senior staff (often in the capacity of secretary), and representatives from affiliated unions. The areas for which there have been committees include automation and technological change, economic policy, education, employment, government employees, health and safety, human rights, international affairs, organization, political education and action, public relations, retirement, welfare/social services, white-collar organization, women workers, and the status of women. The congress has also organized committees and councils of unions in specific industries, such as the Farm Implement Committee, the Maritime Committee, and the National Council of Broadcast Unions. The CLC established an ongoing Commission on Constitution and Structure in order to review the overall structure and role of the federation. With the Co-operative Union of Canada, the CLC participated in the National Labour-Co-operative Committee, which sought to create closer ties between the labour and co-operative movements.
Below the national level, the CLC has chartered provincial federations of labour and, at the municipal level, local labour councils to provide a focus and voice for organized labour at the provincial and community levels. Immediately after the 1956 merger, dual federations and councils sponsored by the TLC and the CCL existed in many places. These dual federations and councils were soon merged into single bodies. The affiliated federations and councils collaborate with the CLC national office in many areas, including labour education, political action, and legislative matters. The Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec has acquired special status, and since 1994 has controlled some aspects of organization, education, and international affairs in that province. At the international level, the CLC is an affiliate of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and has also participated in such bodies as the International Labour Organization and the Commonwealth Trade Union Council.Finding aid:Textual record (Electronic) Finding Aid MSS492 is a list of textual records in the fonds.

(90: Open)Additional information:Custodial history:Received from the Canadian Labour Congress in several transfers between 1970 and 1996. The CLC Executive Council and Executive Committee minutes for 1978-1982 were microfilmed in 1986 from originals held by the CLC (reels M-7783 to M-7787). Convention proceedings of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada and the All-Canadian Congress of Labour were transferred from the National Archives Library in 2001 (microfilm reels M-9601 to M-9608).Arrangement note:The CLC fonds incorporates records of its predecessor federations, the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, the All-Canadian Congress of Labour, and the Canadian Congress of Labour. In addition to the files of the CLC itself, distinct bodies of records from the predecessors have been arranged and described as sous-fonds. Files concerning predecessors can also be found in the records of successors; for example, the CCL sous-fonds includes extensive files from its predecessor, the ACCL, and the CLC fonds contains files first created by the TLC and CCL.Availability of other formats note:Textual record: Originals in the Trades and Labor Congress series (volumes 1-20 only) are also available on 16mm microfilm, reels H-2224 to H-2243; see Appendix "C" to finding aid MSS492 (part 1), or the microfilm shelf list, for the contents of each reel. Charters of the All-Canadian Congress of Labour, the Canadian Congress of Labour, and the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada in volumes 499 and 500 are mostly also available on microfilm, reels M-5475 and M-5476., As part of its records management programme, the CLC carried out extensive microfilming of its dormant textual files in the 1970s and early 1980s. The microfilm copy (now reels H-17 to H-923 and H-2888 to H-2922) was transferred to the Archives in 1982 and 1996, and many the original files were also received separately. Descriptions of series and sub-series in the CLC fonds indicate the equivalence between originals and CLC microfilms, where this information is available. Finding aid MSS492 (part 1) also includes, as Appendix "D", a listing of equivalent CLC microfilms and series of original files. While the microfilm copy and the original files usually correspond closely, researchers should not assume that they are identical.Related material:For records of members, employees and others involved with the CLC, see: Kalmen Kaplansky fonds (R5491, Mikan catalogue no. 103578), Donald MacDonald fonds (R5604, Mikan catalogue no. 101747), and Jim MacDonald fonds R5490, Mikan catalogue no. 101759).Container note(s):690 : 4 panoramas flattened and rehoused (from container 2000728057, there was no link to 1966-024 in that container).
