Labour historians have characterized the 1920's as a time of working-class quiescence. The reality in the case of Vancouver was more complex. The workplace may have become quieter, but working people were not inert. Organized activity focused on the city's schools, not to overturn the system but to obtain fairer consideration for the children of working people. By opting for reform over class confrontation, working people allied themselves with like-minded, largely middle-class individuals equally concerned with educational reform. Considerable improvement of facilities resulted, despite active opposition by business interests concerned with immediate economic advantage. The consequence was that more children of working people, and more children generally, stayed in school a little longer.

Cet article recherche les causes de la lenteur du développement des traditions syndicales chez les mouleurs montréalais. Fondé en 1859, le syndicat des mouleurs montréalais connaît deux décennies de stagnation relative avant que ses effectifs s'accroissent considérablement. Dans d'autres villes canadiennes, durant la même période, les mouleurs forment rapidement de puissants syndicats. A Montréal, les différences ethniques et linguistiques entre mouleurs d'origine britannique et mouleurs canadiens-français, et les tensions qu'elles engendrent durant la période, semble être au centre du problème. Seule une minorité de mouleurs, composée d'éléments écossais, irlandais, anglais et américains, se regroupent au sein d'un syndicat dès ses débuts. Les mouleurs non-syndiqués, majoritairement canadiens-français, optent apparemment pour un militantisme de type spontané ou organisé sur une base ponctuelle, qui s'appuie sur leur autonomie fonctionnelle au travail. Ce n'est qu' à la suite d'un processus d'adaptation relativement long, et sous la menace d'une dégradation de leur métier, que les mouleurs entreprennent l'unification de leurs rangs autour d'une organisation permanente de réglementation et dedéfense de leur métier. L'essor du syndicat s'effectue alors sous l'impulsion des mouleurs canadiens-français et, en seconde place, des mouleurs canadiens-irlandais.

Examines media coverage of Canada in the Soviet Union during the Cold War years from 1947-1955. Provides background on the post-World War II political situation in Europe including the founding of Cominform, the Soviet-East European news bureau, and its publication, "For a Lasting Peace." Argues that Soviet commentators, including academics, followed the line of the Stalinist dictatorship in viewing the Canadian state as subordinate to monopoly capital and under increasing US domination. Canadian communist party leader Tim Buck was also frequently quoted or featured, as was peace activist James Endicott. Concludes that the tone of the coverage moderated somewhat after Stalin's death in 1953, reflecting changes in the Soviet leadership and in policy direction. (Note: The author also published the book, "The Soviet Perception of Canada, 1917-1987: An Annotated Bibliographic Guide" (1988).)

La gestion des ressources humaines n'est ni une science, ni un ensemble de techniques mais un art: l'art de mobiliser des individus à la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Pourtant, la grande majorité des activités reliés à la gestion des ressources humaines ne tiennent pas toujours compte de la nature et des caractéristiques des individus. L'objet de cet article est de proposer une typologie des styles de gestion qui remet en cause la façon traditionnelle d'aborder la gestion des personnes et la productivité organisationnelle.
