Leading progress : the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, 1920-2020 / Jason Russell

Russell, Jason, 1968- (author.).

Summary:

"A history of PIPSC (the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada) from 1920 to 2020."-- Provided by publisher.

"Published on the centennial of PIPSC’s founding, Leading Progress is the definitive account of its evolution from then to now—and a rare glimpse into an under-studied corner of North American labour history. Researcher Dr. Jason Russell draws on a rich collection of sources, including archival material and oral history interviews with dozens of current and past PIPSC members. The story that unfolds is a complex one, filled with success and struggle, told with clarity and even-handedness. After decades of demographic and generational shifts, economic booms and busts, and political sea change, PIPSC looks toward its next hundred years with its mission as strong as ever: to advocate for social and economic justice that benefits all Canadians." -- Publisher's website
