The Divided House of Labour
From: The Fire and the Ashes
$1.70
In this chapter, Jackson examines the Canadian Labour Congress, which appointed him senior economist on May Day 1989. He suggests that the CLC is a fragile body compared with central labour federations in other countries, and that union leaders within the CLC often competed in ways that undermined the larger labour movement.
