Description

This collection of essays offers a comprehensive examination of the working class experience in British Columbia and contains essential background knowledge for an understanding of contemporary relations between government, labour, and employees. It treats workers' relationship to the province's resource base, the economic role of the state, the structure of capitalism, the labour market and the influence of ethnicity and race on class relations.

Editorial Reviews

Interesting, informative and thought provoking. The approach taken by the writers is very fruitful and students and researchers interested in the relationships among workers, capital and the state would do well to follow the approach used in this book.
