Timeline

1916

Sir George Frederick Lawrence Charles (7 June 1916 – 26 July 2004) was a trade unionist, politician, founder of the Saint Lucia Labour Party and Chief Minister of Saint Lucia (1 January 1960 – 22 April 1964).

Born on 7 June 1916, George Charles had a privileged education at St. Mary's College.

But like many young West Indians of his time, he migrated to Aruba and worked there for a year with the Largo Oil and Transport Company.

1945

In Aruba, he was exposed to trade union activities and on his return to Saint Lucia, in 1945, he championed the cause of the workers at the Vigie Airport - now George F. L. Charles Airport - Renovation Project, where he was employed as a timekeeper.

His solidarity on that occasion propelled him to the General Secretaryship of the Saint Lucia Workers Cooperative Union.

1948

Sir George played an increasingly active role in trade unionism and by 1948 was elected to the Castries Town Board, as trade union representative.

1950

He stepped up the efforts to secure a more democratic mode of representation and in 1950, he and his father James Charles were among the key personalities involved in the organization of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP).

The SLP immediately became the dominant force in Saint Lucia for over a decade.

He and his party had a moderate socialist agenda, emphasizing workers' rights and more autonomy, or independence, for Saint Lucia - then an overseas colony of the United Kingdom.

1951

In the 1951 general elections, the first held under universal adult suffrage, the St. Lucia Labour Party under his leadership won five of the eight seats against the middle class-oriented Peoples Progressive Party.

Sir George's first resolution as an elected member was for legal recognition of the right to paid leave, which was rejected by the Colonial Authorities.

1954

The Labour Party was again victorious in 1954 general elections.

The struggle that Sir George led resulted in a series of constitutional reforms, obtaining a responsible ministerial government system.

1960

Sir George was named as the first Chief Minister (1960 reform), as well as first Minister for Education and Social Affairs.

1964

Charles was Chief Minister until April 1964 when the government fell.

The SLP subsequently lost the elections for the first time.

From then on, Charles played a lesser role in politics.

After Charles' tenure as Chief Minister, the SLP spent most of the next three decades in opposition, and he was Leader of the Opposition from 1964 to 1974.

1979

The SLP returned to power from 1979 to 1982, from 1997 to 2006, and again from 2011.

1987

He is a recipient of Saint Lucia's second-highest honour, the St. Lucia Cross (1987), and was knighted in 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II.

George F. L. Charles Airport, in Castries, Saint Lucia, is named in his honour.

1998

Charles, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998, received his country's second-highest honour, the St. Lucia Cross in 1987.

2004

Sir George Charles died on 26 July 2004 at age 88, after a short illness.
