It has been a heck of a year for RankandFile.ca. Our shoestring operation was able to fundraise and cover labour news stories and struggles right across this country. We had a record number of stories and contributors on our website in 2014. To celebrate this the editors at RankandFile.ca have chosen their top three stories of the year, not an easy task considering the amount of quality stories we published. Thanks to all those who have contributed to RankandFile.ca this year.
