In [this book], experts on foreign domestic workers and workers-turned-activists document how the Canadian system has institutionalized unequal treatment of citizen and non-citizen workers. Since the 1940s, rights of citizenship for immigrant domestic workers in Canada have declined while the number of women recruited from Third World countries to work in Canadian homes has dramatically increased. The analysis...is both theoretical and practical, framing ideologies of privacy, maternalism, familialism, and rights, as well as examining government policy, labour organizing, and strategies to resist exploitation. --Publisher's description.

Les migrations des mouleurs originaires des Forges du Saint-Maurice doivent être situées dans un marché du travail continental segmenté par les développements sectoriel et géographique de l'industrie, et par l'évolution du syndicalisme. Le déclin du secteur des haut fourneaux et l'essor concomitant des fonderies urbaines, amènent ces ouvriers à Montréal et dans d'autres villes du Québec. Attirés par des conditions de travail suprérieures, les mouleurs se rapprochent aussi graduellement du centre géographique de l'industrie: c'est-à-dire les villes du sud de l'Ontario et du nord-est des États-Unis. La filière migratoire communautaire constitue un instrument important pour leurs déplacements. Mais plusieurs mouleurs adhèrent également à l'Union internationale des mouleurs, et utilisent la filière migratoire syndicale, afin de pénétrer la portion du marché du travail contrôlée par cette organisation. Ces types demouvements témoignent des contraintes, mais aussi de l'ingéniosité des ouvriers dans un contexte de transformations socioéconomiques importantes. // The migrations of the moulders coming from the St. Maurice Forges must be situated in a context of labour market segmentation under the dual pressure of the industry's growth and geographical expansion, and the development of unionism. Because of the blast furnaces decline and the concomitant blossoming of urban foundries, these workers went to Montréal and other Québec cities. They also gradually moved to the industry's geographical center, attracted by better working conditions: the cities of south Ontario and the north-east of the United States. The community migratory network was an important tool for their travels. But many moulders also joined the Iron Moulders International Union, and used the union's migratory network, to get into the section of the labour market under the organization's control. These types of movements reveal the constraints, but also the ingenuity of workers, in a context of important socio-economical transformations.

Canada’s unions have long brought workers together in solidarity and unity to carry on the fight against racism in our workplaces and communities. As we mark Human Rights Day—observed annually on December 10—Canada’s unions are calling out rising hate and racism, and underscoring the path set 25 years ago when they released the National Anti-Racism Task Force report titled Challenging Racism: Going Beyond Recommendations. This ground-breaking report explored systemic racism in union structures, our communities, institutions and society. It highlighted the perspectives, concerns, and recommendations of labour and community activists from across the country. --CLC website news release, Human Rights Day, 2022-12-10

Grievance arbitrators now have a responsibility to interpret and apply human rights legislation in the course of resolving collective agreement disputes. This responsibility, however, raises the question of whether grievance arbitration is the most suitable forum for the application of human rights laws. In Canada, grievance arbitration has been a hybrid process, containing both public and private components. Recent arbitral jurisprudence, however, suggests that arbitrators see themselves as primarily private adjudicators. These cases indicate that arbitrators have been reluctant to give full scope to the duty to accommodate in order to avoid disturbing the terms of the collective agreement. This reluctance to play a full role as human rights adjudicators means that arbitration is not necessarily the most ideal forum for the enforcement of Canadian human rights laws.
