…. The story of unions in the coal towns of the Crowsnest Pass
Alberta Federation of Labour
The first booklet in the Project 2012 series is the “Spirit of the Crowsnest”. It tells the stories of miners and their families in the Crowsnest Pass.
The miners of the Pass were crucial to the birth and growth of the Alberta labour movement. Miners were faced with conditions of hardship and economic insecurity, which produced radical responses. Their struggles resulted in some of the most fundamental gains for Alberta labour, including workers’ compensation and a basic union right to be recognized in the workplace.
Feel free to download the booklet and pass on the web address so that others can learn about the fascinating history of the Crowsnest Pass.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.
