In the period following World War II, Alberta's Social Credit government passed several pieces of restrictive legislation which limited labour's ability to organize workers and to call strikes. The enforcement of labour law also reflected an anti-union bias. This article argues that Social Crediters, who had a penchant for conspiracy theories, believed that union militancy was the product of the manoeuverings of an international communist conspiracy. Their labour legislation was intended to foil the conspiracy's plans in Alberta and incidentally to reassure potential investors, particularly in the oil patch, of a good climate for profit-taking. But the path for such legislation was made smoother by the conservatism of one wing of the labour movement in the province and the fear of being tarnished with the communist brush by the other wing. On the whole, the Alberta experience casts a grim reflection on the theory that the post-war period provided a measure of industrial democracy for Canadian workers.

Replies to Gilbert Levine's "Relations Between Unions and Universities in Research" published in the same issue. Argues that Levine's criticism is partly misplaced, i.e., that unions are excessively focussed on the here-and-now, that they want propaganda in place of analysis, that they lack the staff to evaluate the research being done, and that they do not know how to properly take advantage of researchers. Concludes that unions' preoccupation with social democratic politics leads them to reject explanations and lines of reasoning that cannot easily be accommodated by the status quo, and that union leaders must address the issue for an academic-labour rapprochement to occur. See also the article, "Academic Research on Labour: Strengthening Union-University Links," by Pradeep Kumar, published in the journal (no. 25, Spring 1990).
