Huguette Plamondon (January 6, 1926[1] - September 29, 2010[2]) was a trade unionist in Quebec, Canada.

A trailblazer and leader in the Quebec, Canadian and international labour movements, she dedicated the bulk of her efforts to representing the United Packinghouse Workers of America and then the United Food and Commercial Workers, after the UPWA merged with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters in 1979 to create the UFCW.

[3] In 1945, at the age of 19, Huguette Plamondon started working as a secretary in the Montreal office of the United Packinghouse Workers of America (UPWA).

[citation needed] She became a member of the Montreal Labour Council (Conseil du travail de Montréal) in 1953, which at that time was affiliated to the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).

[citation needed] In 1956, she was elected a vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress,[4] thus becoming the first woman to achieve a Canada-wide union executive position.
