Taped Sunday January 14 at the memorial for Jack Scott in Vancouver at the Maritime Labour Centre who died December 30 2000 at his home in Vancouver. He was a socialist and labour activist most of his life and was in the Communist Party (CPC) for decades until he was expelled in the 1960s. He was ahead of his time in urging Canadian control of Canadian unions. In his later years, he became an inspiration and mentor for the generations of activists that followed him, including many who are in the leadership of B.C.'s labour movement today. working TV #208 January 19 2001 � Slim Evans 2001 |
