The authors argue that the book fails to address broader issues facing trade unions, focusing instead on historical debates about electoral strategies without adequately supporting its claims. It suggests that the CAW's distancing from the NDP led to a decline in commitment to working-class goals, but the critique is seen as one-sided and lacking in evidence. The article calls for more comprehensive research on the challenges of union political engagement, especially in light of rising right-wing populism among workers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
