Songs, stories, poems, pamphlets, and comics, have inspired workers to take action against greedy bosses and helped shape ideas of a more equal world. They also help fan the flames of discontent. Radical social change doesn�t come without radical art. It would be impossible to think about labour unrest without its iconic songs like \"Solidarity Forever\" or its cartoons like Ernest Riebe's creation, Mr. Block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this vein, The Graphic History Collective has created an illustrated chronicle of the strike--the organized withdrawal of labour power--in Canada. For centuries, workers in Canada--Indigenous and non-Indigenous, union and non-union, men and women--have used the strike as a powerful tool, not just for better wages, but also for growing working-class power. This lively comic book will inspire new generations to learn more about labour and working-class history and the power of solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Between the Lines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67583407227069,"sku":"BS-TC0-134170","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781771134170-HD.jpg?v=1790515108","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/direct-action-gets-the-goods-a-graphic-history-of-the-strike-in-canada","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
