Public exhibitions about work safety assumed an importance for both workers and employers at the beginning of the 20th century that is difficult to evaluate from a late-20th-century perspective. In Quebec, Louis Guyon, chief inspector of industrial establishments and public edifices, noted with interest expositions in Germany and France. Through his efforts the first North American exposition concerning the prevention of accidents was inaugurated in Montreal on 23 September 1901. Only insufficient government funds prevented Guyon from following European models in creating a worker safety museum. Similarly, a worker health museum did not materialize in the province because of funding problems.

A study empirically examines the relationships between union status, union involvement, and the performance of gainsharing programs. The predictions of various competing theoretical perspectives are evaluated: 1. the agency/transaction cost approach, 2. the monopoly model, 3. the institutional voice model, and 4. a 2-faces model of labor organization. Gainsharing programs with union involvement in program administration resulted in better perceived performance than average programs in the nonunion sector. However, gainsharing programs in the union sector without union involvement had worse outcomes than those in the nonunion sector. These 2 divergent situations resulted in union status itself having an insignificant relationship with program performance.

Domestic service was an institution of considerable importance for working-class women and middle-class householders in Canada between 1880 and 1914. Service was instrumental in shaping class relations, in large part because it brought the working class directly into the bourgeois home. It was thus an arena where bourgeois and working-class versions of respectability met, and sometimes clashed. Service was essential to the elaboration of a respectable bourgeois lifestyle, and was considered a satiable occupation for working women, yet the peculiar restrictions of the occupation ensured that domestics would often find the trappings of respectability difficult to maintain. Domestics walked a fine line between 'respectability' and 'deviance'; indeed, in the eyes of many, service was an institution that straddled this line.

It is argued that labor's rights have been effectively the rights of working-class men because only men were constructed as family breadwinners for whom collective bargaining was both necessary and legitimate. Working-class women, by contrast, were defined as non-working wives and mothers, so had no claim to steady jobs at good wages or to union representation in their own right. Secondly, PC 1003 accorded rights to men (but not women) inasmuch as it codified an industrial model of workers' rights. Thirdly, PC 1003 supported and encouraged the growth of a male model of collective bargaining. The implications of a gendered analysis of PC 1003 for the study of industrial relations are discussed.

Introduces Canadian postage stamps as a form of public identity, memory and iconography, and applies this lens to the representation on stamps of workers and the labour movement. Analyzes the particular stamps where workers and labour are commemorated, reproductions of which are included are in the article. Compares the relatively small number of Canadian labour stamps to those produced in the UK, Australia, France, and the US. Concludes that there should be greater inclusion of workers and unions in the selection and design of stamps, as recommended by the Canadian Committee on Labour History to Canada Post.

A study examines gender differences in the process governing salary disparity between typically female occupations and typically male occupations. The findings indicate that choice of occupation does affect income disparity. The study provides evidence of pay discrimination against men in predominantly female occupations and against women in female- and male-dominated positions. Women did not experience a positive effect by being employed in the public sector, nor did either of the genders working in larger organizations. The implications of the findings for the generalizability of human capital, structural and institutional theories explaining wage disparity in a cross-national context are discussed.
