About This Book

"The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) was an early target of Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolutionaries, neoconservatives on a mission to shrink the social safety net, radically reduce social programs, and subvert Ontario's collective-bargaining regimes.".

"In No Justice, No Peace David Rapaport uses details, insights, and anecdotes from over 150 interviews - with picket line captains, local executives, union leaders, journalists, mediators, and union and management negotiators, among others - to provide an insider's view of the strike and its political and economic contexts, often told in the strikers' own voices.".

"No Justice, No Peace traces the politics involved, from ideology and belief in free trade to the downsizing of public and private enterprises, from the restructuring and privatization of the public sector to collective bargaining between OPSEU and the Ontario government, and, finally, to the strike vote and the picket line."--BOOK JACKET.
