Au-delà du comportement individuel, l'absence s'inscrit dans une dynamique sociale. À partir d'une étude de terrain dans une grande entreprise québécoise, cet article associe le phénomène des absences brèves et autorisées à un modèle de contrôle du travail caractérisé par l'autonomie ouvrière et une relation de coopération sur le plancher de production. La gestion des absences était l'une des composantes de la relation d'échange entre le superviseur et les subordonnés, ce qui permettait d'atténuer les effets de l'absence et d'évacuer toute dimension conflictuelle. De façon générale, l'absence de courte durée représentait toujours une source d'incertitude, mais son effet sur la productivité était très faible.

Introduced by Don Wells, the article discusses the unionization and "strike" (in reality, a boycott) of teachers at the Canadian Labour Congress's Canadian Labour College in 1983. Examines the dichotomy of militant trade unionists who become labour bureaucrats, the clash between academics and the CLC, and the pivotal role of students (who were also trade unionists) that mobilized to join the teachers' side in the dispute. Media coverage and the reaction of unions are also discussed. Concludes that the right to organize was the central issue of the conflict, and that, going forward, the college will continue to embody the best and the worst features of Canadian trade unionism. The article was authored by the union's chief negotiator for its first collective agreement.

A Word to Say is a penetrating account of how inshore fishermen, most of them Acadian, came together to take control of their industry and their livelihood. Threatened with the loss of their way of life, they fought long and hard to be heard by governments and companies alike. In the process, they saw their union spread from the east coast of New Brunswick to the shores of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. As the only union in the country made up strictly of inshore fishermen, the MFU is unique. Although it has not altered the social fabric of the region, it has played a major role in the momentous changes in the fishery since the mid-1970s. In telling the story, Sue Calhoun gives fishermen more than a word to say. She offers clear insights into the lives of inshore fishermen, so often ignored and taken for granted. Her characters aren't rich. They aren't powerful. Many aren't educated. They are ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. --Publisher's description

The dual-career family, with its attendant pressures for dual commitment to the home and to the career, has become an increasingly important phenomenon in recent decades. A firm-level data set is used to examine the impact of family commitments as well as cognitive, behavioral, and organizational factors on the earnings of 519 married middle managers in a large Canadian corporation. Alongside a number of behavioral variables as well as the functional division of managerial labor in the company, division of labor in the employee's household has a significant impact on managerial earnings. The inclusion of a variable reflecting the household division of labor in the managerial earnings function helps to explain a substantial proportion of the earnings disadvantage of women in this company that might otherwise simply be attributed to gender.

The impact of the US judicial doctrines on recent Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms decisions relating to Canada's collective bargaining laws is analyzed. No clear pattern emerges concerning the impact of American jurisprudence on those Charter cases relating to labor law. What is very noticeable, however, is the tendency of the Canadian judiciary to consult US case law, even if it is ultimately rejected as a deciding factor in the particular decision to be rendered. Even in those cases in which US jurisprudence was seen to be particularly relevant, it was never to the exclusion of an assessment of the Canadian experience or without a recognition that the values, institutions, and constitutional arrangements of the 2 nations are different.

Pays homage to the life and work of Eugene Forsey, who for many years was the research director of the Canadian Congress of Labour/Canadian Labour Congress and later was appointed a senator by prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. An influential advocate of the study of labour history, Forsey's book, "Trade Unions in Canada, 1812-1902," a standard reference work in the field, was the fruit of a CLC project of the 1960s, for which Canada Council funding was obtained to hire graduate students to assist with the research. Forsey also helped to obtain funding for the founding of the journal, Labour/Le Travail. A photo of Forsey is included.
