Reviews
Building a Better World is a good textbook for my third year commerce students majoring in industrial relations and human resource management. ... The students seem to like the 'Basics' style of a short, snappy paperback attuned to the reality of industrial relations in Canada, instead of an oversized hardcover book, which often tries to be encyclopedic., Building a Better World is an essential text for undergraduate teaching in Labour Studies. ... I would have no hesitation using the text in a first-year introductory classroom., -- "Since it was first published, Building a Better World has been the best available book to introduce readers to unions in Canada. ... With workers and unions facing increasingly severe attacks from employers and governments, this new version is most welcome.", Building a Better World affirms the critical role unions play in promoting democracy, greater economic equality, and social justice for all citizens.

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!
