Drawing on meeting minutes, news articles, collected correspondence, and oral history, this study reconstructs a pivotal moment in postwar labour conflict.

The book cover of The Red Baron of IBEW Local 213 featuring a photograph of Les McDonald during a strike march.
Les McDonald is known for establishing triathlon in the Olympics, but his story began in the labour struggles of Vancouver’s IBEW Local 213.
This new book uncovers his role in the 1966 Lenkurt Strike and the “red” activism that shaped a generation of union politics. #LabourHistory #CanadianHistory
