The CSN — Quebec's second-largest union federation, founded in 1921 as a Catholic labour organization before shedding its confessional character in 1960 — has a long history of using symbolic currency as a tool in labour actions and public campaigns. Zero-dollar notes issued by unions typically serve as protest props or educational materials, circulated at rallies and demonstrations rather than in any monetary capacity. Whether this piece dates to a specific CSN campaign or collective bargaining dispute in 2015 is not confirmed in available sources.
Novelty zero-denomination issues of this kind have no redemption value and were never intended to.
