Title
The U.S./Canada convergence thesis: Contrary evidence from Nova Scotia
Abstract
Certification data were used from the province of Nova Scotia to provide further evidence that convergence of industrial relations systems between the US and Canada is far from unavoidable. Contrary to arguments advanced by Troy (1991), private sector organizing in Canada, even when operating under a US-style legal environment, remains remarkably robust, posting a win rate of 68% over a 10-year period with no evidence of longitudinal decline. Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that international unions are unable to match the organizing performance of their Canadian counterparts.
