On the line : a history of the British Columbia labour movement

Mickleburgh, Rod (author.).

Summary: In prose that is both accessible and engaging, accompanied by over two hundred archival photos, Rod Mickleburgh tells the important story of how B.C.'s labour organizations have shaped the economic, political and social fabric of the province - at a cost of much blood, sweat, toil and tears. This volume is the most comprehensive overview of labour's struggle in B.C. and will be of particular interest to union members, community activists, academics and readers of regional history.
