Rising up : the fight for living wage work in Canada

""Rising Up" traces the history and international context of living wage movements across Canada. This compassionate and astute collection of essays shines a light on alternatives to a neoliberalized labour market, examining union- and community-based approaches to labour organizing, migrant labour, and media (mis)representations, among other key topics. Canada has one of the highest rates of low-wage work among advanced industrial economies. In a labour market characterized by the ongoing fall out from Covid-19, deepening income inequality, job instability, and diluted union representation, the living wage movement offers a response, and solutions."--
