In the fall of 1939, more than 600 fishermen and fish handlers in the tiny town of Lockeport, Nova Scotia (pop. 1,400) walked the picket line in front of the town's only employers, Swim Brothers and the Lockeport Company. Both fishplants had locked their doors rather than recognize the Canadian Fishermen's Union as the official bargaining agent. The Fishermen's Union was an affiliate of the Canadian Seamen's Union, which had begun organizing along the shore. For eight weeks, as autumn turned to winter, the men, with their wives and families, held firm. It was a bread-and-butter struggle that made national headlines - one of the first attempts by Nova Scotia fishermen and fish handlers to win union recognition. It was one of the first major tests of N.S. Trade Union Act passed in 1937. This is the story of the Lockeport lockout of 1939. --Introduction

...As an introduction to the birth and growth of society in New France, the scholarly articles contained in the volume draw from the translated writings of Marcel Trudel and Fernand Ouellet, two of French Canada's leading historians. As well, contributions from Bruce Trigger and Calvin Martin look at the impact of European society on the culture of Native peoples. Together with articles on land use and labour, this informative volume offers a discerning view of the earliest of French Canada - the life of the habitant, the raucous beginning of the first craft brotherhoods, the movement toward a new social order which early European inhabitants took to with a "missionary zeal." By exploring the social roots of modern day Quebec [the book] sheds new light on our understanding of French Canada. --Publisher's description

[This book] is the fourth of a five-volume series of readers designed to present an overview of Canada's social history, encompassing such topics as economic development, social structure, politics, religion, work and workers, and the changing role of women. In this volume the editors have assembled a series of scholarly essays examining such historic developments as government support of big business and the concentration of capital, the decline of craft unionism in Hamilton factories, the business impetus behind municipal reform, and the circumstances for working women in the 1920s. Articles such as Donald Avery's account of labour exploitation in the hiring of "foreign" navvies to build railroads in Western Canada and Don Macgillivray's analysis of state intervention and the use of troops in strikes among Cape Breton miners and steel workers in the 1920s highlight the issues and controversies which makes this one of the most telling chapters of Canada's social history. --Publisher's description
