Explore Newfoundland’s populist Fishermen’s Protective Union, led by William Coaker from 1908 until the mid-1920s, as it united fishermen, sealers, and loggers to reform the fishing industry and demand fair returns and political influence. The narrative unveils a relentless quest for fair outcomes that ended in deep disillusion.
This is a study of the Fishermen's Protective Union, a remarkable populist movement that flourished in Newfoundland between 1908 and the mid-1920s. Under the dynamic leadership of William Coaker, the union set out to reform the fishing industry and to obtain social and political reforms, which would ensure that the rural workers--fishermen, sealers and loggers--received "their own": a fair and just return for their labour, and a voice in the country's affairs. This book seeks to explain why the crusade, which seemed to promise so much, ended in disillusion.
