On February 6, 1920, a small group of public service employees met for the first time to form a professional association. A century later, the Professional Institute of the Public Service Canada (PIPSC) is a bargaining agent representing close to 60,000 public sector workers, whose collective efforts for the public good have touched the lives of every Canadian. Published on the centennial of PIPSC's founding, Leading Progressis the definitive account of its evolution from then to now--and a rare glimpse into an under-studied corner of North American labour history.
