Siobhán Vipond for CLC Executive Vice-President
Siobhán Vipond serves as the Executive Vice-President of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) since being elected in 2021.
Siobhán is a committed trade unionist and intersectional feminist who fights for workers’ rights, strong pensions, and gender and racial equity. A respected national and international leader, she believes working people must have a voice at every decision-making table—across government, industry, and the labour movement.
A champion of political action, Siobhán has served nine years on the CLC’s National Political Action Committee. She currently chairs the CLC Women’s Advisory Committee and serves as Vice-Chair of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) Women’s Committee. Her leadership also includes Vice-Chair roles with the Canadian Health Coalition and the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (TUCA) Executive Council. In Alberta, she was a founding member of Child Care Now Alberta, helping build the province’s largest movement for universal child care.
Before her election to the CLC, Siobhán served four elected terms as Secretary-Treasurer of the Alberta Federation of Labour, where she built coalitions, strengthened political influence, and delivered results for workers. She was selected to participate in the 2015 Governor General’s Canadian Leadership Conference and continues to serve on the conference’s Executive Committee. She is also a graduate of the National Labor Leadership Initiative (NLLI) at Cornell University’s Worker Institute.
Siobhán is a proud member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
