Featuring archival audio interviews and labour songs of the time, our show this week examines the forced labour relief camps the Federal Government of Canada set up in response to the so-called "Dirty Thirties" or "Great Depression." The show comes from On the Line: Stories of BC Workers, a terrific labor history podcast put out by the BC Labour Heritage Centre.
On Labor History in 2:00: The 1934 “Battle of Deputies’ Run,” and Chicago’s first teachers’ strike, in 1969.
