Dr. Nicolas Lépine from the History Department participated in the Third European Labour History Network’s (ELHN) Conference, held September 18–21 at Amsterdam’s International Institute for Social History (IISH), part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
His presentation described the Canadian strike in Barcelona in 1919, which involved a hydroelectric multinational based in Toronto and led to the first formal ratification by a state of the eight-hour workday.
