Self-Employed Workers Organize cover

Over a million self-employed Canadians work every day but many of them are not entitled to the basic labour protections and rights. The authors offer a multi-disciplinary examination of the legal, political, and social realities that limit collective action by self-employed workers and create impediments for unions attempting to organize them.A much needed investigation into the working conditions and organizational aspirations of self-employed workers.

"This book covers a field crying out for research and publication. As there is very little written on this subject, this book constitutes a significant and very valuable addition to the field, not only in Canada but across the industrialized world." Larry Haiven, Department of Management, Saint Mary's University
