	Confederation of National Trade Unions
		Convinced that the bourgeoisie dominated the state and that workers were inevitably in conflict with this economic power, the leaders argued for the replacement of capitalism by democratic socialism.
		In 1972 the CNTU persuaded the Québec Teachers Corporation and the public sector workers of the Québec Federation of Labour to join it in a common front for negotiations with government.
		In 1996 the CNTU consisted of 2178 local unions, divided into 9 sectoral federations and 13 regional central councils with a total membership of 230 205.

	CASE No. 1743/CANADA (1994): Complaint against the Government of Canada presented by CNTU
		The CNTU maintains that the new time periods imposed by the Labour Code of Quebec are clearly unreasonable in the light of the principles laid down by the Committee itself, in particular in Cases Nos.
		The CNTU considers the proposed periods to be excessively long in the light of the principles laid down on this subject by the Committee on Freedom of Association.
		According to the CNTU, these amendments entail infringements of the principles of freedom of association because they may incur unreasonable waiting periods, in particular for assessing the representative character of unions, the possibility of affiliating to another organization, the creation of unions dominated by the employer and collective bargaining.

	Quebec unions shelve plans for one-day strike
		Predictably, the leaders of the Quebec Federation of Labor (QFL), the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU) and the CSQ (Centrale des syndicats du Québec) are blaming each other for the scuttling of the mass protest.
		The CNTU said it would have to “rethink everything” (“toute revoir”) after the leadership of the QFL, the province’s largest union federation, made clear it has no intention of acting on the strike threat.
		From the outset, the QFL, CNTU and CSQ leaders made clear that what they envisaged by a general strike was a protest writ-large, not a political challenge to the Liberal government.

	Mass protest against Quebec government's demolition of public and social services
		For its part, the CNTU leadership offered demagogy and bluster, the better to conceal its own complicity in the ruling class assault on public and social services and its continuing overtures to the Liberal government.
		CNTU Vice-President Roger Valois, the opening speaker, reeled off a series of insults, proclaiming Premier Jean Charest to be “a bigger asshole than Duplessis,” the authoritarian, conservative French-Canadian nationalist who was Quebec Premier for 20 years between 1936 and 1959.
		CNTU President Claudette Carbonneau claimed that if the rank and file mobilized for a December 11 day of protests, the government’s big business allies would soon be pressuring the premier to change course.

	Civilization.ca - Canadian labour history, 1850-1999 - Quebec: The common front
		In particular, the CNTU and QTC now proposed a socialist agenda for Quebec and called on Quebec workers to create a new labour party.
		The presidents of the CNTU, QFL, and QTC were charged and convicted for urging their members to defy court injunctions ordering them back to work.
		The CNTU faced internal challenges when a group of its more conservative members split from the federation to form their own union central.

	ILOLEX: English display cgi
		In its communication of 12 March 1990, the CNTU alleges that the Act respecting the maintenance of essential services in the health and social services sector (the so-called "Act No. 160"), adopted on 11 November 1986 by the Government of Quebec, is a serious infringment of trade union rights and international Conventions ratified by Canada.
		According to the CNTU, this essentially repressive Act is solely intended to penalise non-respect of the Act on the negotiation of collective agreements in the public and parapublic sectors (the so-called "Act No. 37").
		Finally the CNTU expresses the hope that an ILO mission should be sent to Quebec to meet the CNTU and the other trade union organisations which are subject to the effects of Act No. 160.

	CUB 4568
		The claimant was financing the labour dispute by being a member of the union and contributing to the strike fund, and is therefore subject to disentitlement under section 44(1) of the Act.
		Because so many different trades were involved at the firm where the appellant was employed, the workers were divided into two groups: in the first group, terms and conditions of employment were governed by a collective agreement, while in the second they were governed by the provincial decree respecting the construction industry.
		It is true that it was the appellant's choosing to belong to the CNTU that had this regrettable result, but it was his own choice.

	CUB 4096
		The problem at Lamothe Québec Ltée was apparently discussed at this meeting as was the expulsion of the QFL steward on March 14, 1974.
		Prior to the start of a remobilization of workers at James Bay, which will be discussed later, briefings were held for the CNTU and the QFL to inform them of the corrective measures that would be taken to avoid a repetition of the violent incidents of March 21, 1 974.
		This information may be found by referring to the CNTU report (Annex 5, Thursday, March 21), the verdict of Maître Cyrille Delage (Annex 14) and the sentence delivered by Judge Ducros (Annex 15).

	The Militant - December 4, 2000 -- Quebec truckers end 17-day stoppage
		A November 16 press release by the CNTU quoted statements by agribusiness representatives in the Western province of Manitoba saying that they rerouted shipments to avoid Montreal.
		Arthur Sandborn, president of the Montreal Council of the CNTU, told the Militant November 19 that containers were backed up in Winnipeg, Halifax, and Toronto.
		On November 13, some 150 CNTU representatives joined strikers near the port entrance.

	The Militant - January 22, 2001 -- Union militants fired by Quebec truck bosses
		Uniting independent operators, company employees, and truckers hired by employment agencies, the truckers demanded recognition of their union--the Syndicat National du Transport Routier, an affiliate of the Confederation of National Trade Unions of Québec (CNTU)--and the negotiation of a contract providing some relief from their difficult working conditions and desperate financial situation.
		In face of a determined walkout, the Parti Québécois government of Prime Minister Lucien Bouchard introduced strike-breaking legislation that was adopted unanimously by the Quebec National Assembly November 2.
		The big-business media focused on the fact that Teamsters union members who are truckers at the port were crossing the picket lines.

		Speaker, today is the first day of the convention of the CNTU, one of the major labour confederations in Quebec.
		The Bloc Quebecois would like to stress the importance of that event, because the CNTU has contributed over the years to fostering co-operation between all economic agents, and to consolidating collective values in Quebec.
		Since co-operation and joint action are required if we are to succeed in an economy where competition gets stronger by the day, the Bloc Quebecois praises the CNTU for its efforts in that direction and reminds the Minister of Human Resources Development that social contracts are not negotiated unilaterally, but collectively.

		Alcan closed the 84,000-metric-ton-a-year smelter in November, citing on-again, off-again actions by the union that made it difficult to maintain the round-the-clock operations that a smelter requires.
		Alcan said the terms for the new wage agreement with the CNTU generally resemble those reached earlier in March with the Federation des Syndicats du Secteur Aluminium (FSSA) covering three other Quebec primary aluminum plants.
		It provides for an 11 percent increase over three years plus lump sum payments to a maximum of $286, based on the number of hours worked from last Aug. 30 to the time the new contract was signed.

		To those ends, the centre represents the interests of the public in court, provides legal support to the public for the protection of the environment, presses governments to develop acts and regulations promoting the right of citizens to a quality environment, organizes seminars and conferences and encourages the use of alternative dispute resolution procedures.
		In the past, the CCCL fought against the exploitation of labour working in unsafe plants, fought the corruption and complacency of political leaders facing revolting situations and firmly opposed the American domination of the labour movement and the economy.
		Today, the CNTU maintains with as much earnestness that it is necessary to bring about political, economic, social and labour changes in order to improve the well-being of its members and of the population in general.

	Quebec: A socialist perspective to defeat Charest government's plans for social demolition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This process reached a new height in 1996-97, when the QFL, CNTU and CSQ all endorsed the former Parti Québécois regime’s making a “zero deficit” Quebec’s principal priority, thus supporting massive cuts in social spending.
		For them the current wave of protests is not the beginning of a political counter-offensive of the working class.
		Earlier this week CNTU President Carbonneau pleaded with Charest to play what she called the premier’s traditional role of social “arbiter,” while making clear she is vehemently opposed to any challenge to his government’s right to rule—that is to impose the dictates of big business.

	Canadian Auto Workers History, Ch 6 The Other Sixties
		The Quebec Federation of Labour (QFL) moved from being a modest provincial body to a labour body at the centre of decisions on bargaining and the political direction of its affiliates.
		The Catholic-based central union dropped its religious ties, establishing the primarily public sector-based CNTU (Confederation of National Trade Unions).
		Though its competition with the QFL would later become bitter, the two centrals brought a new dynamism to the Canadian labour movement.

		My question to the Laurence the CSR was, "Is it possible to sign up for both?" but he evidently assumed that I wanted to register right now for both.
		After putting me on hold for awhile, he came back and said that the INTU was only for non-US residents.
