Marcel Pepin

Marcel Pepin (February 28, 1926 – March 6, 2000) was a trade unionist in Quebec, Canada.

Pepin graduated with a master's degree in industrial relations from the faculty of social sciences at the Université Laval in 1949.

In 1972, the three major labour federations of Quebec temporarily concerted their forces into a "common front" (front commun) during negotiations with the government of Robert Bourassa; Pepin and the two other union leaders recommended illegal strikes and defiance of court orders and they were sentenced to jail for those actions.

From 1980 until 1990 Pepin taught at the school of industrial relations of the Université de Montréal.

That party ran ten candidates in the 1985 and 1989 Quebec general elections, but it remained marginal and was dissolved around 1991.
