You work three times longer than the average industrial worker--at half the pay. Death is an occupational hazard. And the law says you can't have a union. What do you do?

In 1970, Everett Richardson and about 250 other Nova Scotia fishermen went on a fifteen-month struggle that rent the fabric of the province's society, gave rise to headlines across the country and became the rallying point and cause c l bre for Canadian labour as a whole.

For those whom it meant the most, this classic labour struggle was a bitter education in the realities of corporate capitalism. The Education of Everett Richardson reveals the way "the system" works, and gives a workers-eye view of its dehumanizing results, capturing individual dramas and collective heroism. A rare and singularly moving book, it is a unique contribution to the understanding of Canadian labour.

Journalist, columnist, scriptwriter and educator, Silver Donald Cameron, CM, ONS has published 19 books. He is currently Farley Mowat Chair in Environment at Cape Breton University, and also Host and Executive Producer of TheGreenInterview.com. His true-crime book, Blood in the Water, will be published by Penguin in 2020.
