Additional Description

General

Flag bears initials of Canadian Labour Congress (created 1956), but does not include the Tobacco Workers in its name, so the flag must have been made prior to 1978 merger of the two unions. Also, the BCWIU was thrown out of the AFL-CIO in 1957, and would not have rejoined until the 1969 reunification of the bakers union. Thus the flag likely dates from the 1970s.
