Canadian Textile and Chemical Union

This sub-series documents the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union (CTCU), which grew out of the Canadian Textile Council (CTC) founded by Madeleine Parent and Kent Rowley in 1952. The CTCU represented manufacturing and service workers and became affiliated with the Canadian Association of Industrial, Mechanical and Allied Workers (CAIMAW). In 1992 the CTCU merged with the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) to become Local 40. However, there are no documents related to the merger in this sub-series. The CTCU was also a member of the national trade union center, founded by Parent and Rowley, the Confederation of Canadian Unions (CCU).
The sub-series consists of the CTCU's annual conventions, constitution and by-laws, and files relating to specific union disputes and agreements. There are related materials on the CTCU's union activities in the Artistic Woodwork Company Limited sub-series (C9) and the Puretex Knitting Limited sub-series (C10).
