Labour's Cold War: The Story of a Union That Was Not Purged
Abstract
Discusses the International Brotherhood of Pulp-Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers Union, which escaped the anti-Communist purge of the labour movement during the 1940s and 50s. Provides background on the purges and raids of unions, as well as the intense battles at Canadian labour congresses, during the McCarthyist period, Focuses on the conflict inside the US-dominated international pulp and paper workers, with left-leaning Canadian dissidents demanding greater union democracy, more services for dues, and autonomy for locals. The struggle ultimately ended in schism, with the certification of the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada in 1965.
