The article introduces the edited transcript of sessions of the Mine Mill Centennial Conference held in Sudbury, Ontario, in May 1993. The conference, which commemorated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' Union, was attended by 200 people including union stewards, academics, labour leaders, and retired workers. The sessions provided a forum for retired activists to reflect on their lifetime of experience in the union movement as well as to address current political concerns. Themes included the union and communism, the union in the community, relations with other unions, women in the labour movement (notably the Mine Mill Women's Auxiliary), political activism, and the path forward for working people and organized labour. Brief biographies of the presenters are also provided.

Two separate theoretical streams touch on the fate of workers and their work, class and 'occupations and professions'. Analysis of the historical development of three interrelated occupations, medicine, nursing, and chiropractic, indicates that medicine is losing control over the health care division of labour. Whether or not one sees processes of proletarianization, however, depends upon whether one is examining a particular occupation or a set of occupations within a particular work domain. The analysis indicates that the struggles amongst occupations themselves contributes to proletarianization.

En s'appuyant sur une classification centrée sur le degré d'implication par rapport à la négociation collective des conditions de travail, cet article présente la diversité du monde patronal québécois et il en expose certaines composantes. Il traite aussi des mouvements professionnels dans leur ensemble, parfois assimilés à tort aux organisations d'employeurs. Il montre également, données numériques à l'appui, l'importance des divers regroupements recensés et la difficulté, dans certains cas, de les associer à une seule catégorie.

Reinstatement to the workplace is an important feature of statutory protection against unjust dismissal for nonunion employees. An empirical study examined the post-reinstatement experience of workers under the Canada Labour Code. Overall, the results contrast with the reinstatement experience in union settings, which generally show favorable results. It was concluded that the presence of a union may be a key variable in the effectiveness of the reinstatement remedy. In the absence of a union, workers ordered reinstated would have to be provided with greater support. This may be achieved through a follow-up mechanism directed by the governmental agency that administers the statute.
