Partenaires Pour La Souveraineté
Partenaires pour la souveraineté (English: Partners of Sovereignty) was a Quebec sovereigntist organization that existed in the mid-to-late 1990s. It was an umbrella group of several high-profile organizations, including Quebec labour unions and other pre-existing sovereigntist groups.

It became the CSN only in 1960 when it became secular. The CSN developed a close relationship with the Quebec Liberal Party and worked together to reform Québec's labor law in 1965 to extend collective bargaining to government employees. However, by the late 1960s the CSN had fallen out of favor with the provincial government as it became radicalized and threw its support behind social movements. In 1971, the three leading Quebec unions, the CSN, the Centrale des syndicats du Québec, CEQ teachers' union, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
