Introduces a new classification grid of socio-professional categories developed by the interuniversity group based at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. The multidisciplinary team aims to create a digitized population register for the regions and subregions of northeastern Quebec from 1800 to the present. The database will include economic, social, cultural, demographic, genetic, and health information. The next step is hierarchization, which consists of classifying the categories on the basis of criteria such as property, wealth, power, lifestyle, prestige, and education. While it will not result in an understanding of social classes as such or the fundamental, structured relationships that perpetuate them, it will shed light, at a first level, on the concrete modalities of the division of labour as well as, at a second level, on the distribution of the attributes that are linked to labour. This approach is therefore preliminary, or at least complementary, to more theoretical discourses on classes and the deep structures in which they are rooted.

Dans la décennie 1971-1980, les accidents industriels au Canada ont connu une très forte croissance. Pareillement, les couts totaux (directs et indirects) ont fait un bond prodigieux: ils ont quadruple en dollars courants et double en dollars constants. Ceci, en dépit du mouvement populaire de conscientisation en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail et des efforts déployés par les autorités compétentes pour contrer le phénomène envahissant des accidents professionnels.

Considerable debate exists on the influence of fluctuations in union membership on strike frequency. On a theoretical level it is possible to advance a number of arguments about the sign and meaning of the regression coefficient on union membership in a strike function (see Kaufman (1982)) so the issue remains primarily an empirical one. This paper attempts to shed some new light on the empirical issue using U.K. evidence.
