Panel data obtained from Canada's Labour Market Activity Survey are used to estimate union effects on wages, wage dispersion, and pension coverage. The selectivity corrected estimate of the union-nonunion wage differential is in the 13.1%-15.5% range, which is consistent with other selectivity corrected estimates for Canada but most notably those by Grant, Swidinsky, and Vanderkamp (1987). The estimated union effect on wage dispersion is less pronounced: The standard deviation of 1n wages falls by .02 (or by roughly 5%) when workers become unionized. However, the union effect on the probability of pension coverage is considerably greater. Selectivity corrected estimates indicate that a worker employed in a union job is 22%-25% more likely to have pension coverage than if the individual is employed in a nonunion job.

Urban telegraph offices in the early twentieth century employed both women and men as telegraph operators. The fact that both sexes worked together in this skilled occupation makes telegraphy an interesting case for the study of links between gender and skill. Through an examination of the labour process and the telegraph operators' craft culture, this paper describes how the connection between masculinity and skill was established. It is suggested that, while Morse operating provided conditions in which that link was questioned, technological change during World War I helped create a more exaggerated gender division of labour and a newly-defined, fortified link between masculinity and ability.

During the first three quarters of the nineteenth century, the question of whether trade unions in Ontario were criminal conspiracies under common law was never clearly determined. By examining the development and interaction of the legal and social zones of toleration we can illuminate how law was shaped by and shaped early struggles between workers and employers. The statutory reforms of 1872 clearly defined a narrow zone of legal toleration in which trade unions were accepted as labour market organizations while the means they could to pursue their objectives were restricted. The contours of industrial legality which began to emerge during this period remain a salient feature of current labour law.
