Premise
This series concerned the relationship between unions and businesses, using a discussion format and evenly seeking points of view from both industry and labour. Topics from the first season included union presence in white-collar work, multi-national unions, pensions, strikebreaking and women in the workforce. The second season topics featured bodies such as the Labour Peace Commission and the Canadian Labour Congress. These newer episodes also discussed resource-based industries such as Albertan oil production, British Columbian forestry, North Atlantic fishing or Yukon mining, while some other episodes discussed arbitration, health and immigration.
