| | Nova Scotia labour response to Crisis 1984 |
| | In Nova Scotia, similar pressure from employees of provincially owned Commissions led first to the passing of an amendment to the Trade Union Act in 1947 which explicity excluded all provincial employees from the provisions of the Act, a policy which was opposed by organized labour (Labour Canada 1951). | | | The concern of the labour movement had resulted from the Ministers' comments being "taken out of context." As NDP leader Alexa McDonough put it: "Almost as fast as threatening announcements are made, they are withdrawn and admitted to be exaggerated and premature" (24 July 1982). | | | Industrial Cape Breton may be a mine for labour historians, but the more recent record of the labour movement in the province has strayed a considerable distance from this tradition. |
