Praise

Leading Progress, given the COVID-19 crisis, is a timely reminder of the profound importance of having and maintaining a professional public service. This is a history of a union and more. Important questions of capacity, professional autonomy, and democratization of administration are raised throughoutand, crucially, the relationship of professional workers to the state as employer and the broader labour movement and working class.

Bryan Evans, Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Ryerson University

The many characters, communities, and causes that Leading Progress captures accurately depict the heart and soul of all unions, past and present. With density now greatest in the public sector, the value of professional associations has never been more important.

Dave Bulmer, President, AMAPCEO Ontarios Professional Employees

In a crisis, the value of Canadas professional public service is suddenly obvious to everyone. But in normal times, whether they know it or not, Canadians owe a debt of gratitude to the dedicated men and women who ensure the safety of our food and the health of our environment. Im delighted we now have a rich history of PIPSCs remarkable story.

Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress

Jason Russells stirring and comprehensive history of the first century of PIPSCs innovative organizing among public professionals tells a marvelous story about the power of unionismnot just to lift the standards of work, but to build a stronger economy and society.

Jim Stanford, Economist and Director, Centre for Future Work

A clear, thorough study of a large, important group of Canadian public-sector workersthe professionalswho were historically cautious unionists more inclined to collaboration than confrontation, until neoliberal governments disrupted their working lives. Jason Russell has made excellent use of the substantial archival record, but even more impressively, he has woven in the voices of a large number of union members he interviewed. A useful addition to the shelf of modern labour history.

Craig Heron, Professor Emeritus, Department of History, York University

In Leading Progress, Jason Russell has accomplished a rare feat. He has written a book that is at once an incisive overview of labour and working-class history, as well as a detailed institutional biography that vividly captures the birth and transformation of the PIPSC from one of reluctant unionism to being at the centre of many of todays most pressing struggles for social and economic justice.

Carlo Fanelli, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Work and Labour Studies, York University

Leading Progress is an illuminating, comprehensive, and candid history of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. Jason Russells account of how PIPSC continually balanced its goals of representing professional public servants and non-partisanshipeven as it became a sophisticated union increasingly engaging in advocacy, defending expertise and scientific expertise, and responding to the needs of the many professional groups it representsis alone worth the read.

Evert Lindquist, Professor, School of Public Administration, University of Victoria

Public sector unions remain one of the most vital structures for the protection of workers rights, but they also underpin many important values of our democratic institutions, including independence, neutrality, the unbiased use of evidence, equal treatment, and inclusion. In this excellent history, Jason Russell reminds us that we cannot rely on politicians alone to protect the values of our democratic system, and PIPSC exists to defend not only their hard-won rights, but also the rights of all Canadians.

Ken Rasmussen, Director, Professor and Graduate Chair, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Regina

Leading Progress fills an important gap in labour studies literature, as it considers public employees and professionals, two constituencies whose unions are often understudied. By looking at the history of PIPSC inside and out, it gives a voice to many staff, leaders, and members of the organization through extensive interviews, showing that a union is not only a structure but also the reflection of workers identities and the ways they relate to their jobs as well as their communities.

Thomas Collombat, Associate Professor of Political Science, Universit du Qubec en Outaouais

Laureen Allan deserves particular recognition for making this book possible, especially because of her work arranging interviews and then transcribing interview recordings. Other PIPSC staff helped make the book possible including Linda Gauthier, Mathieu Gorman, Marielle Nadon, Linda Martel, Tania Talbot, and Alain Daoust. Joseph Tohill edited the English manuscript, and Hlne Poulin of PIPSCs staff translated it into French.
