TY - GEN T1 - POWER, POLITICS, AND PRINCIPLES : Mackenzie King and labour, 1935-1948 A1 - Hollander, Taylor LA - English PP - Place of publication not identified PB - University of Toronto Press YR - 2018 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1040694312 AB - "Set against the backdrop of the U.S. experience, Power, Politics, and Principles uses a transnational perspective to understand the passage and long term implications of a pivotal labour law in Canada By utilizing a wide array of primary materials and secondary sources, Hollander gets to the root of the policy-making process, revealing how the making of P.C. 1003 in 1944, a wartime order, that forced employers to the collective bargaining table and marked a new stage in Canadian industrial relations, involved real people with conflicting personalities and competing agendas. Each chapter of Power, Politics, and Principles begins with a quasi-fictional vignette to help the reader visualize historical context. Hollander pays particular attention to the central role that Mackenzie King played in the creation of P.C. 1003. Although most scholars describe the Prime Minister's approach to policy decisions as calculating and opportunistic, Power, Politics, and Principles argues that Mackenzie King's adherence to key principles especially his determination to preserve and enhance the cohesiveness of the country, created a more favourable legal environment in the long run for Canadian workers and their unions than a similar collective bargaining regime in the U.S."-- OP - 384 CN - HD8106 .H65 2018 SN - 9781487515133 SN - 1487515138 SN - 9781487515140 SN - 1487515146 SN - 1487521936 SN - 9781487521936 SN - 9781487502348 SN - 1487502346 KW - King, William Lyon Mackenzie, : 1874-1950.
