Les règles de base de la négociation collective n'ont guère changé au cours des années 1970. Mais plusieurs de ses paramètres ont considérablement évolué. Le mouvement syndical s'est mor- celé, et radicalisé, en partie. Les nouvelles mesures législatives n'ont pas produit les effets désirés. L'inflation, avec ou sans contrôles, a bouleversé les habitudes de négocier. Le secteur public a pris le pas sur le secteur privé.

Social movement more than union than a trade union, the order addressed all workers without consideration of of sex, ethnic or racial origin, and trade qualification.

In Ontario, this challenge was as much political and cultural as it was economic as well as in economic matters. We present here the history of the Order of the Knights of Labor in Ontario from 1880 to 1902; in the context of the industrial development of the of the industrial development of the province, the internal structures of this movement and the and the actions that it exercised in the economic, political and cultural fields.
