This sub-series documents the Confederation of Canadian Unions (CCU) / Confédération des syndicats canadiens (CSC), a federation of independent Canadian labour unions founded in 1969 by Madeleine Parent and Kent Rowley. An aim of the federation was to subvert the influence of American-based international unions on Canadian labour movements.
Included are various records related to the CCU's conventions, national executive board meetings, and the CCU's policies and constitution. There are also several files on Canadian union members, including the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union, the United Oil Workers of Canada, the Sudbury, Mine, Mill and Smelters Workers Union, and the Canadian Association of Industrial Mechanical and Allied Workers, among others. Moreover, the sub-series contains issues of Canadian Union News, Confederation of Canadian Unions Bulletin, C.T.C.C. Le Travail, and the CAIMAW review.
