Provincial Solidarities
A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour
A pioneering study, written in clear and forceful prose, this is the untold story of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour and the provincial labour solidarities that succeeded in overcoming divisions and defeats to raise the status of working men and women within New Brunswick society. Drawing on archives, newspapers, and workers’ own descriptions of their experiences, Frank makes an original contribution to our understanding of the political, economic, and social development of the province. In so doing, he helps meet the need for an informed public awareness of the history of workers and unions in all parts of Canada.
