The Struggle against Wage Controls: The Saint John Story, 1975-1976by George Vair
In October 1976 one million Canadian workers walked off the job to protest the wage controls imposed by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. In a memorable personal account of this historic general strike, Saint John labour activist George Vair recalls how workers in one New Brunswick city mobilized to defend themselves and their unions and defeat the unpopular program.
Edited and introduced by labour historian David Frank
