Title
Canadian Workers, American Unions
Abstract
Canada is the only country in the world whose unions have headquarters in a foreign country. More than two-thirds of Canadian workers in the private sector pay dues to "international" head offices in the United States. Canadian Workers, American Unions continues the historical account begun in the first volume of Trade Unions and Imperialism in America, "Yankee Unions, Go Home!: How the AFL Helped the U.S. Build an Empire in Latin America." --Publisher's description
