Journal Article
Immigrants, Communists, and Solidarity Unionism in Niagara, c. 1930–1960
2018
Overview
Focusing on the Niagara region, this study explains the
continued adherence of thousands of Canadian workers to communist-led unions
during the Cold War era. It argues that co-operation between communist-led
unions and communist-led ethnic clubs and other political and social activists
in the pursuit of human rights, social justice, and environmental goals explains
why thousands of workers continued to adhere to such unions despite intense
redbaiting in the 1940s and 1950s. Reaching out to allies beyond the workplace
in solidarity unionism was especially important because of the marginalization
of communist-led unions within the Canadian labour movement. The study’s
findings reinforce the view that local economic and political conditions played
a significant role in shaping communist-led unions in Canada. The study also
highlights the contribution of interethnic collaboration among immigrant workers
to the development of the Canadian labour movement.
