Title
Don't Call Me Servant: Government Work and Unions in Ontario, 1911-1984
Abstract
How did an association formed in 1911 for self-help and social purposes become one of the largest and strongest unions in Ontario? [This book] is the story of that transformation: a history of the evolution of government in Canada's largest province, and of the working women and men who built the Ontario Public Services Employees Union. Analysis and anecdotes are woven into a tale of workers coping with a paternalistic employer, repressive laws and internal battles. Their story is an important part of the province's labour and political heritage. --Publisher's description
