Book Synopsis Time for a Real Raise: The Nova Scotia Minimum Wage by : John Jacobs
Download or read book Time for a Real Raise: The Nova Scotia Minimum Wage written by John Jacobs and published by Canadian Centre Policy Alternatives. This book was released on 2005 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing the minimum wage impacts not only the workers receiving the minimum wage. [...] The stagnation of the minimum wage over the past two decades is at least partially responsible for the plight of the working poor in Nova Scotia, many of whom earn somewhat more than the minimum wage. [...] Providing a real increase in the minimum wage would boost the wages of these and many more workers in need of a raise. [...] It addresses the economic impact of the minimum wage in the context of an economy that is producing too many low wage jobs, and considers some of the arguments against increasing the minimum wage. [...] The minimum wage sets a social standard or tone, and many public debates, as well as innumerable disputes inside the workplace, use the minimum wage as an implicit guide to construct arguments, to assess all wage scales, to measure the relative standards of one's enterprise.1 When the minimum wage is increased it creates an upward pressure on other wages.

Book Synopsis Working People, Fifth Edition by : Desmond Morton
Download or read book Working People, Fifth Edition written by Desmond Morton and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1999-01-13 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the dock workers of Saint John in 1812 to teenage "crews" at McDonald's today, Canada's trade union movement has a long, exciting history. Working People tells the story of the men and women in the labour movement in Canada and their struggle for security, dignity, and influence in our society. Desmond Morton highlights the great events of labour history - the 1902 meeting that enabled international unions to dominate Canadian unionism for seventy years, the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, and an obscure 1944 order-in-council that became the labour's charter of rights and freedoms. He describes the romantic idealism of the Knights of Labor in the 1880s and looks at "new model" unions that used their members' dues and savings to fight powerful employers. Working People explores the clash between idealists, who fought for socialism, industrial democracy, and equality for women and men, and the realists who wrestled with the human realities of self-interest, prejudice, and fear. Morton tells us about Canadians who deserve to be better known - Phillips Thompson, Helena Gutteridge, Lynn Williams, Huguette Plamondon, Mabel Marlowe, Madeleine Parent, and a hundred others whose struggle to reconcile idealism and reality shaped Canada more than they could ever know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desmond Morton highlights the great events of labour history -- the 1902 meeting that enabled international unions to dominate Canadian unionism for seventy years, the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, and an obscure 1944 order-in-council that became the charter of labour's rights and freedoms. He looks at the "new model" unions that used their members' dues and savings to fight powerful employers and describes the romantic idealism of the Knights of Labor in the 1880s, one of the most dramatic and visionary movements ever to seize the Canadian imagination. He recounts the desperate struggles of miners, loggers, and fishers to protect themselves from both employers and the dangers of their work. Working People explores the clash between idealists, who fought for such impossible dreams as an eight-hour day, socialism, holidays with pay, industrial democracy, and equality for women and men, and the realists who wrestled with the human realities of self-interest, prejudice, and fear. Morton tells us about Canadians who deserve to be better known, such as Phillips Thompson, Helena Gutteridge, Lynn Williams, Huguette Plamondon, Mabel Marlowe, Madeleine Parent, and a hundred others whose struggle to reconcile idealism and reality shaped Canada more than they would ever know. This new edition brings the book up to date with discussions of globalization and its challenge to nationally based workers' organizations.

Book Synopsis Nova Scotia at War, 1914–1919 by : Brian Douglas Tennyson
Download or read book Nova Scotia at War, 1914–1919 written by Brian Douglas Tennyson and published by Nimbus+ORM. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth historical study of Nova Scotia’s role in WWI and its lingering impact on the region, its people, and its economy. Though the First World War ended in 1918, it continued to haunt Canada for generations. In Nova Scotia at War, 1915-1919, historian Brian Douglas Tennyson examines what was, for the people of Canada, an unprecedented period collective military trauma. As Tennyson demonstrates, the war effort didn’t end with the brave soldiers and sailors who went overseas. It also touched the lives of civilians who worked in the fishery, on the farms, and in the forests, coals mines, and steel mills. A specialist in early twentieth-century Canadian political history, Tennyson examines the economic impact of the war with incisive clarity. In an often overlooked cost of the conflict, it shattered Nova Scotia's dream of becoming the Atlantic gateway and the industrial heartland of Canada. This volume includes 30 black and white photos.

Download or read book Working in Steel written by Craig Heron and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story of how mass production came to Canada and what it meant for Canadian workers. Craig Heron's Working in Steel takes the reader inside the huge new steel plants that were built in Sydney, New Glasgow/Trenton, Hamilton, and Sault Ste. Marie at the turn of the century. Amid massive fire-breathing machines, we meet the steelworkers, many of them migrants from southern and eastern European villages or Newfoundland outports, who braved the smoke, noise, and heat in gruelling twelve-hour days, seven days a week. And we watch the inevitable conflicts that developed when these workers began to make demands on their bosses. Professor Heron presents a stimulating new analysis of the Canadian working class in the early twentieth century, emphasizing the importance of changes in the work world for the larger patterns of working-class life. He examines the impact of new technology in Canada's Second Industrial Revolution, but challenges the popular notion that mass-production workers lost all skill, power, and pride in the work process. He shifts the explanation of managerial control in these plants from machines to the blunt authoritarianism and shrewd paternalism of corporate management. His discussion of Canada's first steelworkers sheds new light on the uneven, unpredictable, and conflict-ridden process of technological change in industrial capitalist society.

Book Synopsis Raising the Workers' Flag by : Stephen Lyon Endicott
Download or read book Raising the Workers' Flag written by Stephen Lyon Endicott and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workers' Unity League (WUL) occupies a storied place in Canadian labour history. In the bleak early years of the Great Depression, as jobs vanished, wages sank, and unions stood transfixed, "a small, but feisty organization" (ix) exploded onto industrial Canada and, by force of sheer political will, it seems, rallied an array of workers in heroic battle against some of the most recalcitrant employers in the country. Tales of these conflicts, particularly those in small centres such as Bienfait, Flin Flon, and Stratford, or in the woods of Vancouver Island or the mining communities of the Crowsnest Pass, are staples of labour history in this country and provide classic vignettes of class struggle at its rawest. The On-to-Ottawa Trek, the culmination of WUL organizing in the relief camps, represents in many a Canadian history survey the denouement of a narrative of social tensions stretched to the breaking point at mid-decade. Whatever one thinks of the wisdom of the WUL's actions, and historians' views are varied, the organization is credited with reigniting working-class resistance and with training a new generation of labour and political activists. Raising the Workers' Flag, Stephen L. Endicott's engaging and well-researched history of the WUL skilfully conveys the breadth and the intensity of the movement through its short history.
