A framework for analyzing illegal public sector strikes is developed that explains observed patterns of behavior of employees, unions, managers, and third parties. It is found that no-strike laws diminish such positive effects of right-to-strike bargaining systems as eliciting information, adjusting expectations, and providing catharsis. A new theoretical outline helps understand and explain such illegal strike characteristics as the suddenness of strike development, the rank-and-file nature, lack of union control, conflict without clearly defined union objectives, and breakdown of the conflict regulation process by neutral agencies. Three policy issues emerge: 1. some conflict could have been avoided with a broader scope of bargaining, 2. mandatory and more responsive third party procedures should be legislatively provided, and 3. such information about worker discontent as grievance usage should be made available to dispute settlement agencies and mediators before conflict escalates out of control.

Collective bargaining at 3 major supermarket chains in Ontario is examined. It is argued that the retail unions in the sector have a long history of business unionism which is no longer effective in the face of aggressive corporate demands for concessions. Unions are now unable to defend the full-time, and most secure, segment of their membership. Furthermore, the corporate drive for labor flexibility is rapidly expanding the part-time workforce and eroding wage levels. Because women are disproportionately represented in the low-wage part-time category and have the least access to full-time positions, they are the most vulnerable to corporate restructuring. The gender specific implications of restructuring are examined in an analysis of the recently province-wide strike at the Miracle Food Mart chain.

The objective of this paper is to examine the arbitration process instituted in arbitration tribunals and propose a parsimonious model to enhance the predictive ability of theoretical factors affecting the outcome of public sector labor disputes. The basic data set was generated by a content analysis of 101 awards made by Israel's Tribunal for Voluntary Arbitration during its first 8 years of operation (1977-1984). Results are discussed within the context of employee groups choosing arbitration over strikes as a means of winning demands.

Created in January 1942 to supply war materials to the Canadian military, the Port Alberni, British Columbia, plywood mill was a haven for women mill workers. Many of the women who worked at Alberni Plywoods moved to the Vancouver Island town from Canada's economically depressed Prairie Provinces. Although women comprised four-fifths of the mill's work force by January 1943, women were largely excluded from the skilled positions at the plant. A gender-based hierarchy remained in place throughout the war, with men in the supervisory and high-skill roles, and women concentrated in unskilled positions. After the war, the mill did not expel its female workforce, but it hired only males.

Cet article examine la migration et Γ intégration socio-économique des Canadiens français dans la vallée forestière de la Saginaw, au Michigan, entre 1840 et 1900. Les principales conclusions révèlent que les Canadiens français ont contribué de façon marquée à toutes les étapes du développement socio-économique de la vallée. Si plusieurs migrants se sont dirigés directement vers le Michigan, d'autre sont d'abord amorcé leur migration vers les centres forestiers du nord-est pour ensuite poursuivre leur migration en suivant le déplacement de la frontière forestière vers le Midwest. Leur «culture de mouvement,» conjuguée à une longue expérience de travail sur le continent dans le domaine forestier, a fait en sorte que le Michigan est apparu comme une destination toute naturelle dans l'esprit des Canadiens français à la recherche de meilleures conditions de vie.
