En 1919 est fondé en ses murs le conseil central des syndicats nationaux de l’Outaouais.
La confédération des travailleurs catholiques du Canada (CTCC-CSN), fondé à Hull en 1921, y tient également de nombreuses assemblées.
De 1921 à 1924, la CTCC compte dans ses rangs le syndicat des faiseuses d’allumettes de la compagnie E. B. Eddy, le premier syndicat féminin au Canada.
À force de courage et d’engagement, en 1914, les allumettières contribuent à l’interdiction de l’utilisation du phosphore blanc, un poison mortel utilise dans la fabrication des allumettes au Canada.
L’histoire se souvient d’elles et des nombreux autres travailleurs et travailleuses qui ont contribué à l’essor économique de l’Outaouais.

Deux ans plus tard, le CCSNO–CSN ainsi que ceux du Saguenay Lac-St-Jean, de Québec, de Sherbrooke, de St-Hyacinthe et de Montréal participèrent à la fondation de la CTCC à Hull.(Submitted on June 7, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)Le CCSNO célèbrera c’est 100 ans d’existence en 2019, de la lutte des allumetières en 1921, à la grève des professeures et professeurs de l’université du Québec en Outaouais en 2018. Le CCSNO–CSN c’est lié au travailleuses et travailleurs de la région afin d’organiser la solidarité.
