Clifford Evans was working in a grocery store in his hometown of Guelph, Ontario in 1957 when he was recruited as a full-time organizer by the Retail Clerks International Union. He was then 19 years old. The union had 42 members in Ontario south of Thunder Bay and only 5,000 members in all of Canada, making it one of the smallest national affiliates of the Canadian Labour Congress.
