Kirsten Emmott was an early member of the Vancouver Industrial Writers' Union, who stayed together for a decade and produced audiotapes and the anthologies Shop Talk and More Than Our Jobs. We performed with the folk group Fraser Union at the Vancouver Folk Festival, the Seattle FolkFest, the Bumbershoot Festival, the Mayworks Labour Arts Festival, and other venues in Canada and the United States. Many VIWU members were also featured in the work writing anthologies A Government Job At Last and Going For Coffee, both edited by Tom Wayman; the latter remains in print and is being used as a textbook in a number of high school and college literature courses.=0D=0A=
