United Textile Workers of America

The series contains materials Madeleine Parent kept or created between 1943 and 1952 while she was a union organizer and Secretary-Treasurer for the Canadian District of the United Textile Workers of America (UTWA) / Ouvriers unis des textiles d'Amérique (OUTA). Materials give some insight into the administration of the American-led union's Canadian District and some of its Quebec, Ontario, and Nova Scotia Locals. Some of the files document a specific company, strike, or dispute.
Documenting the activities of the UTWA Canadian District are meeting minutes, correspondence, reports, press releases, flyers, financial statements, legal documents, and collective agreements. Several files document the UTWA's Canadian District Annual Conference and issues of the Canadian District's publications "The Textile Worker" and the "UTW News," and other union publications. Also included is a copy of the UTWA's 1901 and 1943 constitutions and by-laws.
There are files related to the union's activities in twenty different companies. However, the company most prominently represented in this series is the Dominion Textile Company Limited and its affiliate, Montreal Cottons Limited. The Dominion Textile files include materials documenting the 1946 strike in Montreal and Valleyfield, Quebec. There is also information on the disputes which led to the 1952 Dominion Textile workers' strike.
There is overlap between this series and the Canadian independent unions series (MG 4269 C). Specifically, materials documenting the Canadian Textile Council (CTC), which Parent and Robert Kent Rowley founded in 1952. Materials documenting the 1952 Dominion Textile strike, for instance, is an example of the overlap between these two series.

Parent, Madeleine, 1918-2012

Type of Building Series

The Type of Building series includes progress and "as finished" photographs of buildings constructed by Canada Cement. Usually there will be several photos (often as many as 20) showing the various phases of the project, both in details and in full. The projects include airports, churches, concrete masonry, homes, prestressed materials, and stadiums. Structures were built in most areas of Canada. Many of the projects, such as dams, include distance and aerial views. The majority of photos in this series appear to date from 1940 to 1980, although there are many from ca. 1915 to 1940. Nearly all photos are identified on the back or on the envelope containing them. Negatives and information sheets about the building are sometimes included. Occasionally there is correspondence, mainly of the Publicity and Sales Department of Canada Cement. (This series was called the "Old Photo" series by Company administration).
