This three-part report presents the results of a major research project underdertaken in the early 1980s. The project aimed to establish a new statistical time series for strikes in Canada. The final results of this work will appear in 1990 in volume three of the Historical Atlas of Canada which will contain a series of four plates on Canadian labour in the years 1891-1961. In this report we shall focus on the data concerning the years 1891-1950. An essay on method and sources is published here as Part II of this report and the data set is presented fully in Part III. In addition, we want to state at the outset that the more we work on this data, the more fully we agree with David Montgomery's assertion that "any attempt to formulate a positivistic 'natural history of strikes* is doomed to failure. Strikes can only be understood in the context of the changing totality of class conflicts, of which they are a part." --From authors' introduction

The shocking true story of Canada’s most powerful and feared labour leader. His supporters called him a tough and effective leader; his opponents called him a vicious thug. For nearly two decades, Hal C. Banks ruled the nation’s waterfronts with an iron fist. As head of the communist-busting Seafarers’ International Union, he carved out his fiefdom with a combination of intimidation, blacklisting and brutality. Now, award-winning investigative reporter Peter Edwards brings the complete, shocking story of Hal C. Banks to print for the first time. From ex-con on the San Francisco waterfront to Canada’s most powerful labour boss – with influence that reached onto Parliament Hill itself – here is the unexpurgated truth behind the myths of a larger-than-life warlord whose name still incites fear and controversy even years after his death… and whose ability to break the law and get away with it is an outrageous and fascinating testament of evil in our time. --From author's website

Cette analyse cherche à démontrer que plusieurs manifestations de «nouveau syndicalisme» semblables à celles observées en Angleterre et dans d'autres régions canadiennes, surgirent du mouvement ouvrier québécois au tournant du vingtième siècle. C'est en raison de leur position particulière au sein du procès de travail que les tisseurs et les tisseuses, ainsi que d'autres ouvriers du coton «semi-qualifiés» donnèrent une dimension -multilatérale» à leurs grèves, de sorte que les conflits de travail eurent tendance à se déployer au-delà d'une seule tâche productive ou des seuls travailleurs qualifiés. Comparativement, les ouvriers en chaussures évoluèrent dans une environnement productif beaucoup plus «parcellisé» et leur lutte surgit et concerna essentiellement les ouvriers masculins les plus qualifiés et leurs fraternités respectives, dans la tradition du syndicalisme de métiers de l'ère victorienne.
