""Rising Up" traces the history and international context of living wage movements
across Canada. This compassionate and astute collection of essays shines a light on
alternatives to a neoliberalized labour market, examining union- and community-based
approaches to labour organizing, migrant labour, and media (mis)representations, among
other key topics. Canada has one of the highest rates of low-wage work among advanced
industrial economies. In a labour market characterized by the ongoing fall out from
Covid-19, deepening income inequality, job instability, and diluted union representation,
the living wage movement offers a response, and solutions."
