Les objectifs de cette étude sont de tester de nouveau les relations entre d'une part le stress intrinsèque et extrinsèque et d'autre part, l'absence et l'assiduité au travail et de déterminer la nature des relations entre le stress au travail et différentes mesures de fréquence des absences et de temps perdu.

Pendant longtemps, des milliers de femmes gagnèrent leur vie dans des bordels à Montréal. L'étude de leur milieu de travail pendant les années vingt et trente révèle une organisation hiérarchique et des conditions dont le contrôle échappait aux principales intéressées. L'appareil judiciaire et policier, les organisations de réformes sociales, le clergé et les médecins hygiénistes affectaient, par la tolérance ou la répression, le cadre dans lequel s'exerçait la prostitution. Plus directement, les souteneurs, les tenancières et leurs gérantes déterminaient les conditions quotidiennes de travail. Les changements observés pendant toute cette période sont plus imputables à la vigilance policière qu'aux fluctuations économiques ou aux efforts des travailleuses elles-mêmes.

The purpose of this study is to examine CCF-CCL relations in the Saskatchewan public service during the early years of the government of Tommy Douglas. While much has been written about the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL), both as separate organizations and as political 'allies', little has been said about their relations in Saskatchewan. Yet, the CCF formed the government in Saskatchewan for five consecutive terms between 1944 and 1964, and it was in this agrarian province that the true test of the CCF-CCL relationship occurred. Saskatchewan was the one location where unions that supported the CCF were faced with a social democratic government which was also their employer. The difficulty the two sides encountered while trying to reconcile industrial relations with their political relations forms the subject of this study.

This paper examines the changing pattern of worker participation in organizations during recent conditions of economic down-turn. The authors conclude that the current recession has served as a catalyst to force many organizations and their members to recognize that traditional management approaches and resulting employee responses have become increasingly inadequate in the light of wider social changes, and that there is more support for an «evolutionary ratchet» as opposed to a «cyclical» notion of participation.

Although a great deal has been written about the western Canadian working class in the first two decades of the twentieth century, there is still a need to examine the nature of the labour-capital relations in a small prairie city like Saskatoon. Even though the Saskatoon working class lived and worked in an agricultural economy, it was far from being passive and conservative in ils relationship with the ruling class, especially in the period that led to the labour revolt of 1919. This relationship was based on class conflict, similar to what other workers were experiencing on a national and international basis. Class conflict was not restricted to the workpalce, for it also involved the working-class community when it came to matters of unemployment, living conditions. inflation, and the tragedies of war which enhanced the evils of capitalism. The Saskatoon working class issued both an economic and political response to prairie capitalism which included an astute understanding of the rules of the game and a form of radical politics which aimed at a transformation of society.

The story of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers' Association (NIWA) is one which has largely been passed over in the writing of the island's labour history. Yet this organization figures prominently in the events which helped shape the labour-capital relationship during the World War I years. As the Canadian and international record will testify, these years were critically important to the development of modern working-class organizations, while maintaining a direct link to the previous struggles of an earlier era. Centred in St. John's, but exerting an Island-wide influence, the NIWA arose out of a pressing need for working people to confront the economic and political realities of their class in a manner intended to redress the subservient and exploitive circumstances to which they were subjected. This thesis examines the NIWA in terms of its structure, membership, and mandate and attempts to place this movement into the larger context of the international labour revolt of 1917 to 1920. In doing so, it argues that class formation, development, and conflict is central to history.
