First published in 1980, Rick Salutin's biography captures Kent Rowley's unforgettable personality and details his life struggle: an epic tale in which one man's life intersects with all the major issues of his time. Kent Rowley's remarkable odyssey through Canadian history began with a Montreal high school strike. In the depths of the Depression he organized office workers. He was interned under the War Measures Act in 1940, emerging from jail to take on Premier Maurice Duplessis and the textile giants of Quebec alongside Madeleine Parent, a brilliant and influential union organizer. He survived fifteen years in the wilderness during the Cold War; and his stubborn opposition to international unions culminated in the founding, in 1968, of the Confederation of Canadian Unions dedicated to fight for independent Canadian trade unionism. Kent Rowley is a brilliant examination of the career of one of the great figures of Canadian labour history.

In and around the site of the town of Minto lie New Brunswick's only major coal deposits. From the Laurier period to World War II the district experienced a process of industrial development, accompanied by the emergence of a working-class community, dominated at the time of World War I by immigrant mine labour, later, by native-born workers drawn into the industry from the surrounding rural areas. Like colliers in Nova Scotia or the western regions, Minto's workers sought relief from the worst abuses of industrial-capitalist development through trade union organization. This met with fierce resistance from the employers, resulting in major coal strikes in 1920, 1926, 1934, and 1937-38. In Minto, however, a specifically political response, easily observable in other coal-mining regions was largely lacking. Radicalism in particular was weak, the political activity of Minto's workers being mainly confined to attempts to influence the policies and practices of the existing authorities. The paper attempts an explanation of the particular characteristics of Minto's working-class movement through reference to the interaction of local factors of culture and structure, and the evolution of the complex relationships between labour, business, and the state.

Assesses the Windsor conference versus the London meeting of the previous year, as well as the meaning of the Windsor conference for blue-collar workers. Concludes that the Windsor conference, with its sessions on industrial conflict and on the past and futue of the Canadian working class, was more firey; and that academic work, including theory, must also be relevant and accessible to workers and their struggles.

Beginning with the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development of the Canadian west. Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries. The author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these "many tender ties," there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture. -- Publisher's description.

Par un arrêt unanime, la Cour Suprême du Canada renverse un courant jurisprudentiel bien établi de la Cour d'appel duQuébec. Elle affirme le pouvoir d'un tribunal d'arbitrage d'accorder des dommages-intérêts à un employeur victime d'une grève déclenchée pendant une convention collective. La convention collective dont il s'agissait prohibait une telle grève, mais ne contenait aucune mention expresse du pouvoir du tribunal d'arbitrage d'ainsi réparer un tel défaut d'appliquer cette disposition prohibitive.

La Cour suprême vient de rejeter le pourvoi formé à rencontre de l’arrêt de la Cour d'appel du Québec dans Lafrance c. Commercial Photo Service Inc. Non seulement ce jugement unanime dispose-t-il du droit de l'employeur de congédier un salarié en raison de la simple participation de ce dernier à une grève illégale; en pratique, il fait le point, d'une façon beaucoup plus générale, sur l'étendue du pouvoir d'appréciation du commissaire du travail et du Tribunal du travail quant à cette « autre cause, juste et suffisante » que doit établir un employeur pour repousser la présomption légale de congédiement en raison de l'exercice d'un droit résultant du Code du travail(L.R.Q., 1977, a. 15 et sq.).
