Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Ottawa and District Labour Council : The Ottawa Allied Trades and Labour Association, established on 6 August 1897, filled a gap in the Ottawa labour scene. The Trades Council of Ottawa, formed in 1873 and a member of the Canadian Labour Union (est. 1873), had collapsed due to opposition from the Order of the Knights of Labour. It was not until 1897 that Ottawa had another operational council. The Allied Trades and Labour Association (A.T.L.A.) was chartered by the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada (est. 1886) as well as the American Federation of Labour. Unlike the Trades Council of Ottawa, it admitted both skilled and unskilled labour.

In 1957, A.T.L.A., now affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress, a recent merger of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada and the Canadian Congress of Labour, changed its name to the Ottawa and District Trades and Labour Council. Soon thereafter the name was shortened to the Ottawa and District Labour Council.
