Part 2 considers the labour process. This includes chapters onshoreworkers and fishers, with descriptions of their characteristicsand working conditions. It also examines their history of organization,the special place of native Indians in the fishery, and the perspectiveof history by the Union of Fishermen and Allied Workers' UnionNewspaper.

Review :
A welcome and valuable resource book essential for anyone interested in the west coast fisheries. More than that, however, the key chapters by Guppy, Pinkerton, and Muszynski in Part 2 and one on the state by McMullan in Part 1 are classic articles in the field and deserve to be widely cited  as insightful, original contributions to Canadian political economy. - Wallace Clement (BC Studies)
