Title
Union Power: The Charged Politics of Electricity in Ontario
Abstract
A neoliberal electricity privatization experiment in Ontario, Canada’s largest province, was supposed to eliminate one of the country’s biggest public utilities and introduce market discipline to the system. The grand experiment would begin in 2001. But an activist campaign by an opposition coalition initiated by electricity workers was crucial in turning back the market-oriented reforms, and indeed turning it into one of the great political train-wrecks in Ontario history.
