The corporate management system which was utilized by the Government of Canada in order to meet the demands of war involved that Government, both directly and indirectly, with the Labour Movement. This thesis attemptsto outline the development of collective bargaining in that segment of the war economy which was directly controlled by Government through agencies which it created; that is, this thesis will deal with the salient pointsof collective bargaining in those wartime creatures of the Dominion of Canada - the crown companies which were established by the Department of Munitions and Supply in order to prosecute the war. ...During World War II, the relations between the Canadian Government and its organized and unorganized employees became the subject of much confused debate and bitter argument. It is important, in view of what has been said heretofore, that the wartime labour relations of the Canadian government and its agencies, on the one hand, and the trade union movement, on the other hand, should not be lost sight of in planning for full employment. If the experiences of the war are remembered and applied in the national interest, much controversy and strife can be avoided as and when the policy of full employment is put into practice.
