A questionnaire developed to learn employer reasons for hiring part-time workers who are covered by collective agreements was sent to 258 organizations in Ontario, Canada, in 1988. The majority of the 172 respondents were human resources or labor relations directors or specialists. Of these, 50% were in health care, 37% were in education and education-related work, 8% were in retail trade, and 5% were from the hospitality sector. Results revealed that, in the health care, education, and retail trade sectors, flexibility in scheduling work was considered the most important reason for hiring part-time workers. In the hospitality sector, the unavailability of full-time labor was the most important reason for hiring part-time help. While the health care and education sectors considered employees' preference for part-time work to be relatively important, the hospitality and retail sectors placed more emphasis on flexibility in employment decisions and savings in wages and benefits.

During the 19th century a longshoring tradition emerged out of the booming lumber trade in Saint John. Shiplabourers' organizations periodically vied with local merchants for control of the waterfront casual labour market. Work-bred feelings of mutualism were frequently undermined by job, ethnic, and religious segmentation. Despite the introduction of steamers, the longshore labour process remained relatively unchanged. The situation changed at the sum of the century as a result of the establishment of Saint John's winter-port facility. Big Capital confronted Big Labour in an all-out struggle for control of the docks. Aided by wartime conditions, the longshoremen finally succeeded in imposing new work-rules and exerting partial control over hiring practices. But after the Armistice, the shipping industry regained its previous authority, and hard-pressed Saint John longshoremen subsequently abandoned theft class-based efforts in favour of regional political nostrums.
