La présente étude concerne le lien entre le nombre de mentors et le nombre de promotions obtenues par un individu au cours de sa carrière. Elle précise l'influence de diverses variables, reliés au mentor et au protège, sur la relation mentors-promotions en carrière. D'autres variables sont aussi mises en rapport avec le nombre de mentors eus au cours de la carrière d'un protège.

The Port Alberni and Prince George districts of British Columbia experienced the beginnings of an extensive forest industry at about the same time, the second decade of the twentieth century, and both regions were destined to become substantial lumber centres. Yet in their early period of development, before the major changes of the 1940s, the two communities had distinct growth patterns: by 1939 the Port Alberni district had emerged as a prosperous lumber-producing centre housing an active, coordinaed working class while the Prince George district remained an economic backwater with a weak forest industry base, an ill-formed class, and quiscent labour movement. Simple economic or geographic explanations do not begin to address the complexity of the histories of the two regions. Only by closely examining the lumber companies, the sawmill workers, the loggers, and the broader community can the local historical contexts be understood. Further, exogenous factors such as western Canadian working-class initiatives, the role of the provincial state, and the shifting international lumber trade must also be taken into account. Business decisions, union drives, strike action, and political structures were all intertwined in shaping the velopment of these fringe areas of the province. By comparing the two forest districts this thesis not only highlights the various elements that interacted in creating the forest economics and forest-based communities, it also sheds light on the development of British Columbia's most important industry and the history of the western Canadian working class.

L'avènement de l'instruction obligatoire au Québec en 1943 s'inscrit dans un tissu de relations complexes, d'alliances, et de luttes très longues. Contrairement à ce que laisse croire l'histoire officielle, le mouvement ouvrier et le mouvement paysan ont joué un rôle actif dans cette longue «querelle.» Quoique prenant part dans cette lutte, ces mouvements ont aussi été très divisés. Alors que le Congrès des métiers et du travail du Canada (CMTC) appuie la fréquentation scolaire obligatoire, la Confédération des travailleurs catholiques du Canada (CTCC), et l'Union Catholique des cultivateurs (UCC) s'y opposent durement. L'influence que l'Église Catholique exerce sur la CTCC et l'UCC explique en partie le refus catégorique de ces deux organisations, mais sans plus. La composition des membres de chacune, les secteurs d'implantation de celles-ci, le type d'agriculture dominant au Québec et les coûts liés à l'éducation ont joué un rôle déterminant dans les positions des organisations étudiées.

The thesis identifies the ways in Which the CUSO-OXFAM Labour Project (COLP) has worked to strengthen international labour solidarity in Saskatchewan. COLP is a development education project mandated to work primarily With the working-class in Saskatchewan. COLP's ideology contrasts with that of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) leadership as manifested in the international labour solidarity movement by developing class-consciousness rather than economism, pluralism, and social democracy. In contrast to existing practice, COLP has taken its internationalist educational programs directly to rank-and-file trade unionists rather than circulating its information amongst the union leadership alone. COLP's curriculum falls within the tradition of progressive labour education programs in the Western English-speaking world and is demarcated from the ideology of standard labour education programs in Canada, the United states, and Great Britain. Standard labour education programs today are characterized by their reproduction of pluralism and economism, and are organized according to an intellectually fragmenting and skills-based curricular ideology. Alternative and progressive labour education programs have enjoyed the support of radical or progressive trade unions, but have been opposed or consciously ignored by dominant labour centrals. COLP shares these characteristics. The Saskatchewan Labour Information Project (SLIP) provided a precedent for class-conscious development education with workers when it was organized in 1976. After SLIP's demise, its ideology was carried into the formation Of COLP in 1980. COLP's steering committee and coordinator work closely together to develop a policy and practice which advances international labour solidarity in Saskatchewan. COLP receives support from unions in the forefront of the class struggle in this province, but is not endorsed by the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour or the CLC. Dependence on state funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) may have limited COLP's ability to articulate an alternative ideology for the international solidarity movement to that of the CLC. COLP aims to educate for a class-conscious international labour solidarity movement in Saskatchewan. To this end, the project's curriculum design is consistent with both radical development education theory and a dialectical materialist theory of education. Curriculum has been implemented in a dialectical fashion as well, although limitations imposed by COLP's trade union context have prevented a fully successful implementation. The ideology transmitted through the project's curriculum content contrasts 'With that of standard labour education programs by promoting class-consciousness in its fullest sense. Tours to Nicaragua organized by COLP have been particularly significant in this regard. The advancement of internationalist class-consciousness in Canadian labour education comes at a time of crisis for the North American labour movement and presents a necessary alternative to the social democratic ideology which dominates Western labour internationalism.

Most recent studies of the relationship between technological change and mining labour in the western metal-mining regions of North America have concentrated on the impact of the mechanization of the industry that took place during the second half of the nineteenth century. The distinct impression is left that the increased use of machinery — especially the machine drill — was the chief factor in reducing the skill levels associated with mining as a craft tradition. Preoccupation with machinery has led to the assumption that by the beginning of the twentieth century the transformation to modern forms of mining was essentially complete and the traditional miner an anachronism. Mining as practiced prior to 1900 differed qualitatively and quantitatively from the subsequent period of "modern mining;" but the introduction of machinery per se was less important to the reorganization of the patterns of work in the mines than the redesigning of the engineering systems in which workers and machines were employed — a process which gained its full momentum in the decades after 1900. This transformation involved the gradual abandonment of low-volume, high-value, selective mining methods in favour of higher volume, non-selective methods which emphasised the quantity rather than the quality of the ore mined. The change redefined the nature of work in and around the mines, putting an end to a tradition of mining practice that was at least as old as the methods described in Agricola's De Re Metalica, something the initial mechanization of mining had never been intended to accomplish. Under selective mining practices, machinery was used to assist the skilled miner in his traditional task. Under non-selective or mass mining techniques, a new generation of engineers trained in the applied sciences redefined the miner's work as solutions were sought to the problems of an increasingly complex geology in a climate of rapid economic expansion, chronic over-production, generally declining metal prices, and ever increasing production costs. The efforts and successes of these engineers were amply demonstrated in the fields of mining, metallurgical, and human engineering. The impact of the change is evident in varying degrees throughout the metal-mining community; but by focusing on copper mining — the technological leader from 1900 to 1930 — the full impact of the industrial sciences on mine labour is evident.
