This week I discuss with Peggy Nash, one of many co-authors of Girls United: Tales of Girls’s Struggles for Equality within the Canadian Auto Staff Union. We focus on girls’s contributions to the union in its early years, how negotiating priorities had been formed, and the Second World Warfare’s affect on the labour motion. We additionally chat in regards to the impression of the Autopact and free commerce on labour, girls’s management within the trendy labour motion, and what it’s prefer to be within the room negotiating in opposition to an employer.
