Abstract
Presents a case study on union‐based research and education activity generated in response to restructuring in the Canadian telecommunications industry and workplace reorganization. Findings suggest that an education/research/policy dynamic rooted in the union local helps to build the potential for workplace democracy and organizational capacity in the labour movement.
