Summary:
"Substantially revised and updated, this widely used introductory text offers a comprehensive introductory overview of Canada's labour movement. The book includes an analysis of why workers form unions; assesses their organization and democratic potential; examines issues related to collective bargaining, grievances and strike activity, charts the historical development of labour unions, and describes the gains unions have achieved for their members and all working people. The book also examines the challenges confronting unions, created by rapid economic and technological change, the rise of neoliberalism and the increasingly contingent and racialized character of the labour force."--From publisher.
