The barriers to re-employment identified by Canadian respondents in a study in part represent accurate reflections of the problems facing the mature unemployed, however, many of the beliefs and attitudes of employers represent inaccurate or unfounded perceptions. The most frequently cited barrier to the re-employment of older job-hunters was that older workers are less qualified for contemporary employment than younger workers. Socio-cultural orientations of stereotyping assume that the media and other socializing agents directly and effectively teach prevailing cultural stereotypes. This suggests that there are a number of things which can be done within organizations to focus attention on the inappropriate role that stereotypes play in the evaluation of older workers.

During most of the 1960s, the CSN was both an advocate of provincial autonomy and a defender of federalism. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, a majority of its militants came to favour separatism. In 1980, the CSN gave its critical approval to a yes vote in the referendum. Yet the labour union central did not officially endorse independence, mostly because its leadership feared internal divisions and disaffiliations. In addition, the CSN expressed its disappointment with the governmental record of the Parts québécois which had come to power in 1976.

Sets out the parameters of a jointly authored study to be published on the complexities and implications of the law of master and servant in England and the British Empire. Argues that the concept and provision of employment legislation can be determined through individual contract and through penal sanctions that continue to affect employment law. Analysis of the law from the 17th century to the 20th centuries shows the varying legislation developed into a distinctive jurisdiction that was enforced by magistrates, both formally and informally. Discusses the methodology and process involved in the study, including the building of a database of all relevant statutes. Note: The book was subsequently published as "Masters, Servants, and Magistrates in Britain and the Empire, 1562-1955." edited by Douglas Hay and Paul Craven, North Carolina Press, 2005.

"What ever happened to the great Canadian labour-history debates of the early 1980s?" a well-informed Argentinian labour historian asked me recently. The gist of my rambling, uncertain response was "Things have become a lot more complex." Bryan Palmer must have had similar thoughts when he sat down to revise and update his nearly ten-year-old history of the Canadian working-class.' The publication of his self-styled "rethinking" of the field gives us all an opportunity to reflect on how the writing of working-class history has evolved and changed since those heady days and what a synthesis of the huge volume of new work ought to look like. It seems appropriate to place Palmer at the centre of such a historiographical review since the 1983 version of his Working-Class Experience was widely seen as the first synthesis of the new working-class history and, indeed, in his long series of books and articles, and through his penchant for confrontation and debate, Palmer has played a major role in defining what the rest of the historical profession (and many others) thought Canadian labour historians were up to. With this new book, he has returned to centre stage. --Author's introduction

Using the theoretical framework of the feminist debates about equality and difference, this article deconstructs the arguments used by feminists and others to defend women's status as workers in the Great Depression, a period notorious for its anti-working woman sentiment. The findings suggest the false polarity of the equal rights and maternalist traditions, tracing the articulation of both in the 1930s, showing their points of intersection, and ultimately questioning their existence in any pure form.
