Focusing on the origins of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) in Canada during the 1940s, this study analyzes the evolution of a work-centred, "rank and file" model of unionism into a top-down model of economistic unionism centred on collective bargaining and the stabilization of labour-management relations in the workplace. In order to attain organizational security, UAW leaders turned to state elites. The main price of employer and state acceptance of such security was the union leaders' agreement to suppress worker "direct action." This tradeoff has helped to shape the current limits of trade union mobilization in Canada. --Publisher's description

At the heart of Canada's "Fordist" class compromise after World War II lay a new unionism which reinforced managerial control in the workplace. By repudiating rank-and-file initiatives against various dimensions of management control of the labour process, the new unionism displaced a potentially transformative kind of unionism that arose during the war. The significance of this transition is explored through a comparative examination of the relations between union leaders and members at two autoworker locals, one of which exemplified the ran-and-file-oriented local unionism of the war years, the other the new centralized unionism which came in its wake. It is argued that this transition to a new unionism was a key contributor to the marginalization of class-based politics in Canada after the war.

The year 1994 marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike, one of the best-known events in modern Canadian history. It also marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the composition of a lengthy history of the strike from the strikers' perspective which was first published in 1920... Much of the subsequent historical writing about the strike has treated this complex event along the lines first developed in the strikers' own history. The result has been the emergence of a monolithic and somewhat one-dimensional view of the strike. The account which follows examines in detail only a few of the more important components of this fascinating event. It attempts to introduce some multiple perspectives and perhaps to raise some new questions. --Introduction
