First published in 1957, [this book] has established itself as one of the best brief surveys on the subject available today. Many of the features of the original book have been retained in this second edition: its conciseness, its clarity of style, and its analysis of Canadian labour relations in the wider North American context. In the complex and dynamic field of of industrial relations in Canada, many important developments have occurred since 1957. Even in such a slow-moving area as labour disputes legislation and pollicy, provincial and federal governments have passed a considerable amount of new legislation since 1957. In his extensive revision, Professor Jamieson deals with these developments. This new edition also places increased emphasis on problem areas in labour relations, for example, the labour scene in Quebec, the incidence of industrial conflict and strikes, and the influence of American-dominated unions in Canada. For this edition Professor Jamieson has provided a revised and enlarged bibliography which should serve as excellent guide to the increasing range of literature now available in the field of industrial relations. --Publisher's description

To illustrate his point, he presents the case of the B.C. Coast Lumber Industry.

The following lengthy study of "The History of Labour Unrest in Canada, 1900-66," was undertaken on behalf of the federal government's Task Force on Labour Relations, which is now sponsoring dozens of separate research projects, in response to what appeared to be a major "crisis" in labour relations in this country during 1965-66. ...One final, and more specific, justification for undertaking a lengthy and detailed history of labour unrest in Canada, as manifested in strikes and other forms of overt conflict, is, to put it simply, that it has not been done before. As noted below, in discussing sources that were drawn upon in writing this study, there is a remarkable paucity of literature on the subject of industrial unrest and conflict in Canada. This is particularly the case in scholarly, academic and literary circles. --From introduction
