        History

        The Halifax District Trades and Labour Council was formed in November 1898, a few months after the dissolution of its predecessor, the Amalgamated Trades Union. Its main organizers were former members of that union. The purpose of the new council was to organize new labour unions, strengthen existing ones, and seek legislation beneficial to the working class. The council affiliated with the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada in 1903 and received a charter from the parent body in January 1904. In August 1957 the Halifax District Trades and Labour Council became the Halifax District Labour Council, and in 1958 adopted its current name, the Halifax-Dartmouth and District Labour Council. In August 1958 it was chartered by the Canadian Labour Congress, and also affiliated with the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour, the CLC's regional arm.
