The Historical and Contemporary Life-Value of the Canadian Labour Movement.

- Abstract
NEO-LIBERAL IDEOLOGY has attempted to set different groups of workers--employed and unemployed, public and private sector, unionized and non-unionized--in opposition to each other. A successful response will require more than clear philosophical principles. It will require detailed, difficult, and long-term political efforts to construct solidarity. At the same time, that practical political work requires principles. The most effective principles on the basis of which solidarity can be built are those that disclose shared interests. The life-value principles underlying the most significant achievements of the union movement are the best means by which the shared interests of all workers can be disclosed.
