Canada's Unions

This book presents a picture of Canada s labour movement in the mid-seventies--its structure, its leaders, and aims. Two parallel themes run through "Canada s Unions: the surge in labour militancy led by teachers, hospital workers, federal government workers and other public employees in response to the pressure of rising inflation; and the rise of nationalism and the increasing independence of the Canadian union movement during the 1970s. "Canada s Union offers an unparalleled, immediate portrait of the state of the Canadian labour movement during a crucial decade of its existence.Laxer, Robert M. is the author of 'Canada's Unions', published 1976 under ISBN 9780888620965 and ISBN 0888620969.
