Kenneth Ken V. Georgetti , Order of Canada CM , Order of British Columbia OBC born 1952, Trail, British Columbia is a Canada Canadian labour union leader. He was elected president of the Canadian Labour Congress in May 1999. Trade Union career Georgetti arrived at the head of the Canadian Labour Congress after a quarter century of union activism in British Columbia , home to Canada s most polarized politics and of a vibrant labour movement. Born in Trail, in the southern interior of the province, Georgetti first went to work in the giant Cominco smelter, just like his father. He worked in most areas of the smelter and earned his trade ticket as a pipefitter. Following the family tradition, Georgetti became active in the United Steelworkers of America Local 480, rising through the ranks to President of the Local in 1981. Elected Vice President of the British Columbia Federation of Labour in 1984, he became its youngest ever President two years later.

Fed , he oversaw the Federation s rapid expansion, with membership growing from 218,000 to more than 450,000. Strategies Georgetti has long advocated what he describes as intelligent militancy .

Fed President, Georgetti in 1987 led unionized workers in British Columbia in the largest one day general strike in Canadian history, followed by a successful five year boycott to protest labour laws and institutions established by the then Social Credit government. Georgetti has also encouraged labour to take active control of union pension plans and began a number of successful, socially responsible investment initiatives.
