This paper develops a simple industry bargaing model with explicit consideration of the determinants of the bargaining range and the narrowing of that range over time as a function of perceived bargaining power and costs of settlement. The model is then applied to the public-interest sector under altered assumptions of costs of settlement and the introduction of political influences in the determination of bargaining paths. The impact of third party intervention is considered in both the industry and public-interest sector cases.

Why are women still second class citizens at work? Recent years have seen demands by the women's movement for equality in the workplace, and "affirmative action" programs have been set up to achieve this goal. Yet little has really changed. Women still earn less than men, are underrepresented in unions, have less protection in pension plans, and are usually stuck in jobs with little chance of advancement. To understand women's inequality at work, Paul and Erin Phillips trace women's involvement in the paid labour market, and in labour unions, throughout Canadian history. They document the disadvantages that women face today and examine the explanations for the existence of these problems. --Publisher's description

First published in 1981, H. Clare Pentland's Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1860 is a seminal work that analyzes the shaping of the Canadian working class and the evolution of capitalism in Canada. Pentland's work focuses on the relationship between the availability and nature of labour and the development of industry. From that idea flows an absorbing account that explores patterns of labour, patterns of immigration and the growth of industry. Pentland writes of the massive influx of immigrants to Canada in the 1800s--taciturn highland Scots who eked out a meagre living on subsistence farms; shrewd lowlanders who formed the basis of an emerging business class; skilled English artisans who brought their trades and their politics to the new land; Americans who took to farming; and Irish who came in droves, fleeing the poverty and savagery of an Ireland under the heel of Britain. Labour and Capital in Canada is a classic study of the peoples who built Canada in the first two centuries of European occupation. --Publisher's description. Edited, with an introduction by Paul Phillips. Contents: Slavery in Canada -- The Pre-Industrial Pattern: Personal Labour Relations -- Canada's Labour Force: Population Growth and Migration -- Population Growth and Migration: The Irish -- The Transformation of Canada's Economic Structure -- The Transformation of Canadians.
