To the historian, oral history is a useful tool; to the labour historian it is an essential one. Unlike his colleagues in political, diplomatic and business history, the historian of the labour movement has few written documents on which to rely. Few of the important decisions and events in the' history of the trade union movement in Canada were ever recorded in print, and those that were, soon were discarded: memories of those decisions and events remain the private preserve of the men and women who were integrally involved. Only the oral historian can unearth many of these recollections; only oral history can fill many of the gaps in the history of the Canadian labour movement. --Introduction

Despite the economic importance of large variations in individual productivity of logging-machine operators, few studies have attempted to examine the source of such variations. Based on data obtained for a total of 757 shifts of tree-felling activity, this exploratory study attempted to: (a) document variation in on-the-job performance and assign the variation to sources « within individual operators », « between operators », or « between firms »; (b) relate ob-served performance measured operator characteristics (ability and motivation); and (c) suggest ways in which average levels of job performance could be improved.
