Cet article vise à faire ressortir la contribution des femmes de la classe ouvrière montréalaise à l'économie familiale au cours de la Crise des années trente et à cerner l'impact de cette crise économique sur les différentes composantes de leur travail domestique. Une trentaine d'entrevues, réalisées auprès de femmes qui se sont mariées vers la fin des années vingt et au début des années trente, ont servi de base à la recherche. Leurs témoignages révèlent l'ampleur de certains phénomènes comme l'utilisation de moyens contraceptifs et le travail rémunéré à domicile, et mettent en relief la très grande pauvreté dans laquelle ces familles vivaient avant même que la Crise ne survienne. Pour plusieurs d'entre elles, la période des années trente n'a donc représenté qu'un épisode de plus dans leur lutte pour la survie.

Cet article porte sur le modèle de participation mis en œuvre dans le secteur d'État algérien à compter de 1971. La recherche montre que ce cadre institutionnel n'a pas résorbé le conflit entre les agents de production, comme le suggérait le discours officiel. Au contraire, le modèle de participation a généré un nouveau type de conflit entre les différents acteurs et instances impliqués dans l'entreprise socialiste.

People frequently overdo the parallels between events and institutions in Canada and the United States, even confusing them at times. The 1939 split in the United Auto Workers Union was a case in point. The end of the 1930s was a period of stresses and strains for the unions in both countries. For the UAW, relations with the employers went on side by side with a struggle between Socialists, Communists, anti-Communists and their respective allies. Though divided, Socialists and Communists at times took the same side. One such time was in 1938-39. The high point of the period was when both joined in getting rid of the "International President," Homer Martin. In Canada, the two principal factions carried on a bitter struggle for the leadership of the union, slowing down only a bit while they both lined up with the opposition to Martin in the us. In the process, the first Canadian director of UAW, the Socialist Charles Millard, also lost his post. In the US, meanwhile, the two main factions concentrated on defeating Martin, while jockeying for position for their future struggle for the leadership.

A survey on the status of industrial relations (IR) as an academic discipline in Canadian universities shows that even within business programs where serious efforts are made to adequately cover labor relations phenomena, there is an overwhelming exposure to human resource management (HRM) and organizational behavior (OB) activities and very little coverage of public labor policy. This is so because, from a business perspective, labor relations stands as a subfield of HRM. The fact that the employment relationship is just one of many foci for administrative science probably explains why business programs have a normative bias in favor of the efficiency principle. On the other hand, because the entire focus of IR is on the employment relationship, IR academic programs consider as equal values the equity needs of the employees and the efficiency needs of the organization. This ontological neutrality is what distinguishes the IR and administrative science disciplines.

Unemployment relief work programs undertaken in Saskatchewan cities during 1929-32 and 1938-40 were not a failure. Carried out with an unavoidable minimum of "mismanagement" and "waste," they produced useful assets and badly needed employment, and not surprisingly were strongly supported by local taxpayers and the able-bodied unemployed alike. This record and the determined if too often unsuccessful efforts by the administrations and unemployed in Regina and Saskatoon to have even more relief money channelled into such "work and wages schemes" are an indictment of the federal response to the unemployment crisis and the impossible situation in which the flawed doctrine of "local responsibility" placed local governments. As such, the history of these programs serves as a useful corrective to the widespread impression that Prairie cities failed to show sufficient leadership or initiative in dealing with the unemployment crisis during the 1930s.
