The limited influence that ethnic studies and working-class history have exerted on each other can be explained by the priorities and the predominant theoretical orientations that have characterized the former field. Much more fruitful, instead, has been the growing convergence of related fields such as immigration history and migration studies towards working-class history. While this convergence has resulted in a much more sophisticated knowledge of the social and cultural universe in which labour movements have grown and developed, relatively little progress has been made in isolating ethnicity as a historical category and in determining its place in the development and articulation of social consciousness.

From 1900 to 1930, thousands of Italian immigrants found employment in the CPR work sites throughout the Montreal metropolitan area. After analyzing the most significant socio-economic traits of that labour force, the article investigates some of the major patterns of that employment experience in the context of Montreal's evolving labour market, as well as in relationship with the Italian immigration in Montreal. The study brings out the unstable and volatile relationship of most Italian workers with the CPR — a result of both the workers' own strategy in the urban labour market, and the extremely limited possibilities for occupational advancement the company offered.
