McCartney, who ha just been named the first recipient of the BCFederation of Labours award for excellence in labour studies, was headed for a degree in American history when he was abruptly rerouted by an academic encounter with Mark Leier, director of SFU's centre for labour studies.
McCartney says labour studies "tends to be outside of mainstream funding because it is perceived to be politically loaded," and he is grateful to the BCFederation of Labour for sponsoring a cash award "that promotes scholarly work on union history."
The BCFederation of Labour award recognized McCartney's impressive grades, as well as his volunteer service on behalf of the centre for labour studies.
