A century of labour regulation in Canada / by Carman D. Baggaley.: EC12-4/1981-19E-PDF

It shows how our present comprehensive labour codes and employment standards acts evolved from nineteenth century attempts to come to terms with the emerging trade-union movement and the social dislocation caused by the introduction of factory production.
