Community Savings is the funding sponsor of On the Line, a unique, comprehensive, and engaging account of BC’s labour movement as told by veteran labour reporter, Rod Mickleburgh, and published by the BC Labour Heritage Centre.
Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and richly illustrated with more than 200 archival photographs, On the Line chronicles British Columbia’s labour movement-- one rooted in the resilience, tenacity and innovative thinking of these local workers and their communities-- from pre-confederation to today. It celebrates BC workers’ strong record of fighting back against unfair pay and unsafe working conditions.
The BC Labour Heritage Centre distributed complimentary On the Line books to all BC Secondary Schools. These books will be useful resources for secondary school teachers looking for current material that illuminates the history of our province, as reflected in the current curriculum changes.
