Congress Of Democratic Trade Unions (Quebec)
The Congress of Democratic Trade Unions ( French: ''Centrale des syndicats démocratiques'', CSD) is a national trade union centre in Quebec formed on 8 June 1972 in response to a split within the Confederation of National Trade Unions Confédération des syndicats nationaux, CSN). It is the smallest of the four labour centres in Quebec, with about 4% (62,770 members) of the union membership in the province. The split was led by dissident members of the CSN executive Paul-Émilien Dalpé, Jacques Dion and Amédée Daigle, referred to as the "Three Ds", who said they wanted a more democratic union body and one which would be politically neutral, as distinct from the political militancy of the CSN. Paul-Émile Dalpé was the first president of the CSD, Dion was treasurer and Daigle was director of services. Jean-Paul Hétu was vice-president and Réal Labelle was secretary. Dalpé was succeeded as president by Jean-Paul Hétu who held office until 1989, when Claude Gingras becam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces an ...

Trade Unions In Quebec
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products an ...

Centrale Des Syndicats Du Québec
The Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ; Quebec Labour Congress) is the third biggest trade union in Quebec, Canada, by membership. It was founded in 1946 when three earlier unions merged to form the ''Corporation générale des instituteurs et institutrices catholiques de la province de Québec'' (CIC; General Corporation of Catholic Teachers in the Province of Quebec). Léo Guindon was its first president. It changed its name in 1967 to ''Corporation des enseignants du Québec'' (Quebec teachers corporation), and then again in 1974 when it officially became a labour union to ''Centrale des enseignants du Québec'' (CEQ; Quebec teachers labour congress). It finally became the ''Centrale des syndicats du Québec'' in 2000 to acknowledge the fact that its membership base had expanded beyond teaching profession. Today over 100,000 of its 175,000+ members are education workers, working primarily in the public sector. Most (69%) of its members are women. The CEQ was the first Que ...

Michel Arsenault is the federation's current president and René Roy is its secretary. The FTQ is unusual among labour unions in that it founded (in 1983) and controls a capital investment fund called "Fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
