Are there other umbrella union organizations that were created in Canada?

Yes — all in Quebec. In 1921, the Roman Catholic Church had set up an umbrella trade union organization to try to stop people from joining other unions. It was called the Canadian and Catholic Confederation of Trade Unions. In the 1960s, the Catholic unions severed ties with the church and evolved into the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU). Also influential are the Quebec Teachers’ Corporation and the Quebec Federation of Labour.
