The Giant Tamed
From: The Canadian Labour Movement: A Short History
$2.70
Explores the slow, uphill battle to shake the solid hegemony of Canadian employers in industrial life in the two decades between the wars and then the breakthrough that took place at the end of WWII to give unions a permanent if constrained and largely depoliticized place in key sectors of the economy.
