Politicians, the media, and an array of interest groups viewed it as essential to nation building, developing the economy, and shaping Canada's social and cultural character. One of the groups most determined to influence public debate and government policy on the issue was organized labour, and unionists were often relentless critics of immigrant recruitment. Guarding the Gates is the first detailed study of Canadian labour leaders' approach to immigration, a key battleground in struggles between different political factions within the labour movement. This book provides new insights into labour, immigration, social, and political history.Labor unionsCanadaHistoryForeign workersCanadaHistoryRace discriminationCanadaHistorySyndicatsCanadaHistoireImmigrantsTravailCanadaHistoireDiscrimination racialeCanadaHistoireCanadaEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyHistoryCanadaEmigration and immigrationHistoryCanadaEmigration et immigrationPolitique gouvernementaleHistoireCanadaEmigration et immigrationHistoireLabor unionsHistory.Foreign workersHistory.Race discriminationHistory.SyndicatsHistoire.ImmigrantsTravailHistoire.Discrimination racialeHistoire.331.880971/09041Goutor David1969-1712108MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811390703321Guarding the gates4103975UNINA
