From the publisher
From the jacket flap
Established in 1913, the New Brunswick Federation of Labour is thesecond oldest provincial federation of labour in Canada. Its historybegan in early campaigns for workers' compensation and unionrecognition and continues today in the latest battles to defend socialstandards, secure employment, and union rights. Active initially in theport city of Saint John and the railway centre of Moncton, thefederation soon expanded to include workers in the mines and mills ofthe north, taking up the causes of public employees and women workersand confronting the realities of life and work in a bilingualsociety.
A pioneering study, written in clear and forceful prose, this is theuntold story of provincial labour solidarities that succeeded inovercoming divisions and defeats to raise the status of working men andwomen within New Brunswick society. Drawing on archives, newspapers, and workers' own descriptions of their experiences, Frank makesan original contribution to our understanding of the political, economic, and social development of the province. In so doing, he helpsmeet the need for an informed public awareness of the history ofworkers and unions in all parts of Canada.
