Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a pivotal labour dispute between the Grand Trunk Railway and its workers. Set against the backdrop of similar disputes across North America at the turn of the previous century, this book chronicles the tension and conflict between railway companies' desire for increased profit through lower wages, and the workers' struggle for fair treatment and pay in an era of rapid industrialization and economic change. The author delves into the complex negotiations between the company and its employees, the government's role in the dispute, and the agreement that ultimately brought the strike to an end, shedding light on the broader historical context and thematic depth of this pivotal moment in labour relations. Through this case study, the author provides insights into the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and the importance of government intervention in ensuring fair labour practices.
