The Workers’ Revolt

From: The Canadian Labour Movement: A Short History

$3.00

We find a new wave of organization and agitation rolling through the corportate capitalist world of the early 20th century this time involving both revived craft unions and a new more radical movement for more all inclusive industrial unionism. These two strands converged briefly at the end of WWI and extended into working-class politics, but both were crushed in the early 1920s
