Canadian Textile Council

This sub-series documents the Canadian Textile Council (CTC) / Conseil canadien du textile (CCT). Madeleine Parent and Robert Kent Rowley founded the CTC in 1952 to represent Canadian unions within the United Textile Workers of America (UTWA). After the 1952 Dominion Textile Company Limited strike and Parent and Rowley's dismissal from the UTWA, the CTC became a Canadian independent national trade union, later to become the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union (CTCU). Parent served as Secretary-Treasurer and Rowley as President. The CTC had offices in Valleyfield and Montreal in Quebec, and Welland and Brantford in Ontario.
Several materials detail the CTC's split from the UTWA. Records consist of correspondence, reports, press releases, financial statements, notes, legal documents, and collective agreements. Included are files regarding the CTC's national conventions, executive board meetings, and issues of the CTC's Bulletin from 1952 to 1974. Several files also contain information on specific Locals and include materials regarding labour organizing, disputes, and agreements.
