Climate change is having an increasingly significant impact on work in Canada, and the effect climate change has, and will continue to have, on work concerns many Canadians. However, this fact has not been seriously considered either in academic circles, in the labour movement nor especially by the Canadian government. Climate@Work addresses this deficit by systematically tackling the question of the impact of climate change on work and employment and by analyzing Canada’s conservative silence towards climate change and the Canadian government’s refusal to take it seriously.--Publisher's description.

Après une revue des principauxchangements survenus dans le marché du travail depuis 1975, changements qui serésument en trois traits: la féminisation, la précarisation et la tertiairisation, l'articletrace le portrait des charactéristiques internes de la population syndiquée. L'article compare ensuite les syndiqués avec non-syndiquées et la maind'oeuvre potentielle, quant à l'âge, au sexe, au niveau de scolarité, au secteurd'activité, au statut d'emploi, et au salaire moyen.
