Respondent 1 [Mr. Crowley?] details early efforts to unionize porters, before it was legal to do so, which resulted in the creation of the Canadian division of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP). He also relays changes in porters’ experiences after unionization and the roles he played, as an elected official, in the BSCP. He ends with his reflections on the impact air travel has had on the railway. Respondent 2 [Unsure of name though labelling says it is Mr. Overton?] (begins at 00:11:50) narrates one positive experience serving the Oxford Group, and what a typical weekend excursion looked like for his family.Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information:Transcription: -
