The National Federation of Labor Youth and the Candy Bar Kids
Thousands of children and youth across the country took to the streets for two weeks in spring 1947 to protest a three-cent increase in the price of chocolate bars. The protest initially generated enthusiastic press coverage and had widespread popular support, but when the National Federation of Labor Youth (nfly), the Communist Party's youth organization, announced its support, anti-communists in the press and the community red-baited the protes…

D onica B elisle . Purchasing Power
Donica Belisle’s eclectic history of women in early twentieth-century Canadian consumer culture offers a surprising and challenging perspective on consumer history. These are not the politicized Canadian consumer activists of the 1930s and 1940s who deployed gender normativity strategically to infiltrate the male-defined realms of economics and politics in pursuit of economic equality and expanded rights. Rather, these women remind us of the Aust…

Christabelle Sethna and Steve Hewitt. Just Watch Us
Canada’s Cold War was arguably as nasty as that in the U.S., although it was conducted more covertly—a stratagem that allowed governments to mask illiberal policies of intrusive domestic surveillance and state-sponsored and state-encouraged persecution of dissidents, leftists, gay men, and others behind a carefully cultivated facade of liberalism. Absent the McCarthy-era legislative committees, show trials, and anti-communist legislation that are…
Art as Activism
Popular theater has significant, although largely overlooked, potential as a tool for unions to raise members’ political consciousness and strengthen their relationship to the union movement. Activist theater validates workers’ own knowledge, builds workers’ solidarity and self-confidence, and fosters an activist culture. It can also raise gender consciousness within unions. It has particular value for unions attempting to organize precarious wor…
A Mighty Power against the Cost of Living
Consumer activists organizing in the 1930s against rising milk prices demonstrated the power of a strong grassroots movement to enlarge prevailing understandings of the political and to wring responses from an unwilling state. Their maternalism, combined with milk's emotional, social, and political meanings, attracted broad popular support and deflected criticism from the dairy industry, hostile public officials, and anticommunists. Their campaig…

Labour's Dilemma
Fair Play or Fair Pay? Gender Relations, Class Consciousness, and Union Solidarity in the Canadian UE
Women who were activists in the Canadian district of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) during the postwar and cold war era challenge the assumption that class consciousness is incompatible with female gender consciousness. Encouraged by the leadership's espoused commitment to gender equality, and secure in their strategic importance as a quarter of the UE's membership, women activists not only refused to accept seco…
