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, involved real people with conflicting personalities and competing agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter of \u003cem\u003ePower, Politics, and Principles\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u0026amp;#x2019;s approach to policy decisions as calculating and opportunistic, \u003cem\u003ePower, Politics, and Principles\u003c\/em\u003e argues that Mackenzie King\u0026amp;#x2019;s adherence to moderate principles resulted in a less hostile legal environment in Canada for workers and their unions in the long run, than a more far-reaching collective bargaining law in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Unity of Our Country, Fall 1935-Fall 1939\u003cbr\u003eThe Prime Minister\u003cbr\u003eThe Labour Movement\u003cbr\u003eThe Employers\u003cbr\u003eOther Groups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Breastplate of Righteousness, Fall 1939-Fall 1941\u003cbr\u003eMore of the Same\u003cbr\u003eIncongruities\u003cbr\u003eFine-Tuning\u003cbr\u003ePlant Committees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Task that Lies Ahead, Fall 1941-Fall 1942\u003cbr\u003eThe Campaign\u003cbr\u003eIntransigence\u003cbr\u003eRespect and Dignity\u003cbr\u003eAdherence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Code of Labour Relations, Fall 1942-Spring 1944\u003cbr\u003eThe Impetus\u003cbr\u003eThe Experts\u003cbr\u003eThe Code\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Fine Conclusion, Spring 1944-Summer 1948\u003cbr\u003eTempering\u003cbr\u003eThe Rand Formula\u003cbr\u003ePostwar Tumult\u003cbr\u003eThe Middle of the Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword\u003cbr\u003eReference\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595498549528,"sku":"9781487521936","price":29.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/power-politics-and-principles-mackenzie-king-and-labour-1935-1948-paperback-softback-9781487521936","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
