While public sector unions were forced to react, the response of the Alberta and Ontario unions differed significantly. The reasons, outcome, and long-term impact of the difference is the focus of Yonatan Reshef and Sandra Rastin's careful and revealing analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors' argument concentrates on union responses to the neo-conservative transformation in the two affected provinces, but the scope of the discussion expands to cover such issues as the differences between the two regimes, the damage to the Ontario labour movement dealt by the labour-oriented NDP government, the limits of inter-union cooperation, and the role of modern unions in politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLively and timely, \u003ci\u003eUnions in the Time of Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e places Canada's unions in the full context of the neo-conservative trend in provincial politics, and demonstrates the importance of individual union responses in times of such significant change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Raston,Yonatan Reshef\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802087531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802087539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 6.90w x 1.17d","brand":"Sandra Raston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448961642751,"sku":"9780802087539","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41d21361-4ec1-4651-9544-fff96fb85fd9.jpg?v=1777261358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unions-in-the-time-of-sandra-raston-9780802087539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
