This week I speak with Peggy Nash, one of many co-authors of Ladies United: Tales of Ladies’s Struggles for Equality within the Canadian Auto Staff Union. We talk about ladies’s contributions to the union in its early years, how negotiating priorities have been formed, and the Second World Struggle’s affect on the labour motion. We additionally chat in regards to the influence of the Autopact and free commerce on labour, ladies’s management within the trendy labour motion, and what it’s wish to be within the room negotiating in opposition to an employer.
