The Craftworkers’ Challenge
From: The Canadian Labour Movement: A Short History
$2.70
We meet the first movement of organized craftworkers beginning to take shape in the mid-nineteenth century in response to the new capitalist organization of work and labour markets. By the end of the century the militant craftworkers were leading a much broader working-class confrontation with the new industrial capitalist order but their efforts collapsed by the 1890s
