This study examines the effect of employee involvement and job insecurity on employee satisfaction and commitment. A data set incorporating information from employees, managers and government sources in 15 hospitals in a single metropolitan region in the US is used to test these issues. In contrast to previous research, it is found that workers' satisfaction and commitment persist as long as the form of employee involvement in place increases worker input and control in their jobs and as long as management is perceived to be making clear efforts to enhance the future security of workers' jobs. Employee perception of management effort to maintain employment security, however, is based on past downsizing within the organization, thus raising the potential that continued downsizing will increase insecurity and therefore will decrease both employee desire to participate in decision-making, as well as employee satisfaction and commitment to the organization.

[This article is a] Tribute to, and assessment of, the first 49 issues of Labour/Le Travail concentrates on both the tone and the substance of the journal. The seven sections of the article discuss matters ranging from art and design, to the rich poetry long included in its pages, to the ability to publish articles that are at once politically informed and academically rigorous. The evolution of the wide-ranging and exemplary book review section and the long standing attention of L/LT to racial and gender divisions among working people receive attention, as does a brief comparison of the trajectory of L/LT with that of Labor History in the United States. A final section considers the necessity for free wheeling debate among labour historians, particularly over the question of class and the place of Marxism in our work.

Disappearing Acts: Gender, Power, and Relational Practice at Work, by Joyce K. Fletcher, is reviewed.
-
Between 1975 and 1997, school teacher bargaining was conducted under the School Boards and Teachers Collective Negotiations Act (Bill 100). By most accounts, the teacher bargaining law was successful in promoting bilateral settlements with minimal strike activity. Following its election in 1995, the Harris government reduced public expenditures and introduced educational reforms. This study finds that the government's blunt and heavy-handed efforts to control collective bargaining processes and outcomes, not only proved futile, but led to an increase in work stoppages and protracted guerilla warfare at the school board level.
