Many rights that workers enjoy today, from safer workplaces and minimum labour standards to parental leave and paid vacations, did not simply appear overnight. They were won through decades of organizing, activism, determination, and collective action.  \n\nTo help us understand these landmark victories and what they mean for workers today, we are joined by one of Canada’s leading labour historians! \n\nDr. Craig Heron is Professor Emeritus at York University and an acclaimed historian whose work has focused on the lives of working people, the history of labour movements, and social change in Canada."}
