Reviews

Unions in Court is a key account of a vital piece of Canadian history and is a must-read for anyone involved in labour law. It should find its way into public, academic, courthouse, and government libraries, and, of course, the collection of any private firm with a labour department. -- Ken Fox, Reference Librarian, Law Society of Saskatchewan Library * Canadian Law Library Review *
