Chapter seven examines the impact that the triumph of neo-liberalism had on the Canadian labour movement in the 1990s and the early 2000s. It includes the many state measures introduced to constrain labour and the new context for collective bargaining. It examines the stagnation of working-class incomes, the growth of more precarious employment and new labour strategies for attempting to confront changes that were eating away at its membership.
