Title
Les Canadiens français et les syndicats internationaux. Le cas de la direction du Conseil des métiers et du travail de Montréal (1938-1958)
Abstract
The author provides a portrait of the Montreal Labour leaders of the international unions from 1938 to 1958. On the basis of a description of the structures, the membership and the composition of the Montreal Trades and Labor Council (MTLC), the author analyses the leadership of the MTLC and of the international unions, from the point of view of their ethnic composition and the types of unions that are controlled by those leaders. He concludes that the MTLC, the largest union body organized on a municipal basis in Canada, was dominated by a Francophone elite of labor leaders, even if most ethnic groups in Montreal were represented at all levels of it organization.
