- Summary
- "Wartime conflicts forged a regional working class capable of acting collectively on a number of fronts. Southern Ontario workers had a long tradition of craft unionism, and the nature of industrial cities and working-class communities was quite different from that in the West. In short, workers and bosses in southern Ontario fought in a different arena and under different circumstances than elsewhere. Building on their own experiences at work and in the war, workers developed their own vision of post-war 're-construction'--back cover
