First Strikes
New!
From: Class Action
$2.50
In First Strikes, Hanson explores the growing experience of white-collar unionism and the rise of class consciousness that was a unifying force in their labour relations following the activism of the 1970’s from both the FWTAO and OPSMTF unions. Topics discusses include the collective strike funds, the Lambton County strike, pay equality, the Brant County strike, and Peel region strike.

In the 1997 campaign against Premier Mike Harris, he was a member of the local consolidated committee of five teachers’ unions organizing marches and rallies, co-ordinating picket lines, and communicating with members. After the men’s and women’s elementary teachers amalgamated, he was elected ETFO local vice-president and held that position for twelve years.
