Charting the development of the region's labour movement from the early nineteenth century to the present, Patrias and Savage illustrate how workers from this highly diversified economy struggled to improve their lives both inside and outside the workplace. Including extensive quotations from interviews, archival sources, and local newspapers, the story unfolds, in part, through the voices of the people themselves: the workers who fought for unions, the community members who supported them, and the employers who opposed them.Working Canadians (Edmonton, Alta.).Labor movementOntarioNiagara PeninsulaHistoryLabor unionsOntarioNiagara PeninsulaHistoryunionsLabour historyNiagaralabour studiesLabor movementHistory.Labor unionsHistory.331.8809713/38Patrias Carmela1950-985905Savage Larry1977-Canadian Committee on Labour History.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQThumbnail cover image:http://celarc.ca/covers/442/442222.jpgBOOK996207545303316Union power2343548UNISA01720nas 2200601-- 450 991013301750332120220305064428.01734-154X(CKB)954925373795(CONSER)---59028062-(DE-599)ZDB2086022-5(EXLCZ)9995492537379520750720b19541960 --- apoltxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierActa biochimica PolonicaWarszawaPanstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedPrint version: Acta biochimica Polonica.
