Artisans, Aristocrats and Handymen: Politics and Trade Unionism among Toronto Skilled Building Trades Workers, 1896-1914
Abstract
Examines trade unionism among skilled building trade workers in Toronto during the period, 1896-1914. The author analyzes trades such as carpentry, ironworking, and stonemasonry to challenge traditional conceptions of building trade unions. Fragmentation amongst the trades severely impacted the ability of the workers to generate significant change. The author concludes that further analysis is needed of the role of building trade workers in the labour movement.
