Talk:Canadian Labour Congress

Untitled
I'm new to Wikipedia and this is my first article.

Comments??

Carol Wall and updates
The article needs to be cleaned and updated post convention. I think the bit about Carol Wall should be deleted. She didn't win and it wasn't that noteworthy in the first place. What do people think?


 * I think that it certainly needs to be cleaned up and updated - both post convention, and just in general. If I have time, I'll give it a try.  However, I'm not sure that it's necessarily the right call to just delete the bit about Wall's candidacy -- I think that having a relatively unknown candidate coming from nowhere to get over 37% of the vote at the convention floor, with very little backing from any of the major affiliates was a sign of a significant grassroots alienation, and not something that can be brushed off as not that newsworthy.

infobox
I added an infobox. It's under construction at WikiProject Organized Labour. Your comments/additions would be appreciated. --Bookandcoffee 01:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The infobox has been replaced with the actual Infobox Union template. --Bookandcoffee 07:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this article as a Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, although it needs more referencing and in-line citations. I have assessed this as Mid importance, as it is a general and overarching body within Canada. Cheers, CP 17:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

CLC Also Refers to Central Labor Council
Not sure where to put this, but wanted to clear something up about the CLC page.

While yes, the "CLC" page is the Canadian Labor Congress, in the US the AFL-CIO operates through a quasi-autonomous structure of local geographical jurisdictions called Central Labor Councils (CLCs), as well as Federations of Labor, Area Labor Federations, and Regional Labor Federations. However, in the Labor movement we just call them all CLCs.

Thus, when you see AFL-CIO CLC in the affiliation section of Unions, the CLC designation refers to the individual Union itself as a Central Labor Council. All of the Locals of a given Union create the National/International Union, and through elections internally they select their Leadership. Then, that Leadership is seated on the AFL-CIO Executive Council after a vote by the National AFL-CIO General/International/National Presidents.

Hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CFCD:2D30:25C5:B51B:BD86:63D3 (talk) 17:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
