Timeline

1913

Claude Jodoin (May 25, 1913 – March 1, 1975) was a Canadian trade unionist and politician.

1937

In 1937 he became an organizer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union serving as a Canadian manager of the union from 1947 to 1951.

1939

He had been leader of the Young Liberals of Canada in 1939.

1940

From 1940 to 1942 and again from 1947 to 1954 he served as an alderman on Montreal City Council.

1942

He was elected in the 23 March 1942 by-election to the National Assembly of Quebec, as a member of the Quebec Liberal Party, representing the Montréal–Saint-Jacques electoral district.

1944

He lost his seat in 1944 and was defeated in an attempt to regain a seat in the Legislature as an independent candidate in 1948.

From 1944, Jodoin served as the first chair of the Trade and Labour Council of Canada's National Standing Committee on Racial Discrimination.

1954

Jodoin had served as president of the Montreal Trades and Labour Council and became president of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada in 1954.

He led the TLC in unity talks with the Canadian Congress of Labour that lead to their merger, creating the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).

1956

He served as the first president of the Canadian Labour Congress from 1956 to 1966.

Born in the Montreal suburb of Westmount, Jodoin was educated at Brebeuf College.

He was offered a seat in the Senate of Canada by Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent in 1956 but turned it down.

In 1956, the year the CLC formally came into existence, he became its founding president.

1960

Speaking in 1960, he said "The Congress, and I as its president, believe that the need for a new party is greater today than it was even a year and a half ago. Speaking to the NDP's founding convention, Jodoin said "A labour movement that is without interest in political matters is a labour movement that is evading one of the most fundamental responsibilities."

1961

Despite his earlier involvement with the Liberal Party, Jodoin supported the decision by the Canadian Labour Congress to work with the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to found the New Democratic Party in 1961.

1966

He won election five times as the Labour Congress' president, the last in 1966.

1967

In May 1967, he suffered a debilitating stroke, that forced him to step-down from day-to-day duties as the president.

He would never recover from the stroke, and spent the rest of his years in an Ottawa hospital.

Despite his disability, and as a sign of respect, he remained as president, though in title only, until his term was over.

Most of the major honours came in 1967, when he was appointed to the Order of Canada in its inaugural year, and the Centennial Medal that marked Canada's 100th birthday.

That same year, he received an honorary doctorate of law from the University of New Brunswick.

1968

Donald MacDonald became the acting president until he was elected to the position at the CLC's 1968 convention.
