Sean Purdy asked the list for possible titles for a comparative labor course. He then arranged the titles in the following bibliography. Later, Sandy Jacobs added two valuable additions. Many thanx to Sean Purdy for this excellent contribution.

Below is the collected bibliography of comparative labour history sources that I received from H-Labor subscribers. I did a preliminary library search and added a few more sources. Thanks to Seth, Rick Halpern, Chris Jackson, Avi Chomsky, Mike Haynes, Julie Greene, Joan Hac, Eileen Boris, Doug Deal, John Stobo, Thomas Winter, Jim Van Leemput, Larry Haiven and any others for their help. In solidarity, Sean Purdy, Queen's University PURDYR@QUCDN.QueensU.CA
