Les auteurs veulent connaître les facteurs pouvant motiver les parents des familles à faible revenu à se trouver un emploi (travailler) ou à ne pas s'en trouver (ne pas travailler). Le modèle de motivation utilisé est présenté et explicité à l'aide d'un exemple. S'appuyant sur une revue de la littérature et des entrevues auprès d'informateurs-clés, les facteurs pouvant motiver les parents des familles à faible revenu à participer ou à ne pas participer à la main-d'oeuvre sont décrits et commentés. Finalement, les auteurs formulent une hypothèse sur la relation entre la motivation et le taux de participation à la main-d'oeuvre.

...In labour disputes, which accounted for almost half of the incidents in which military forces were used, the presence of troops may not have been viewed as a neutral, stabilizing force by other participants. If this was the case a reassessment is appropriate. With this consideration in mind, this paper will deal with three such incidents, all of which occurred in industrial Cape Breton in the 1920s. While they involved relatively large troop movements and were instrumental in effecting amendments to the Militia Act, they were not unrepresentative of labour disputes during the country's industrial development. --From introduction

Focuses on the labour turmoil in Vancouver in 1935, in particular the communist/leftist-led strikes of relief camp workers and especially of longshoremen. Examines the hostility toward the strikers of the Vancouver mayor (who coined the term "red menace"), media coverage, and the employer-side Citizen's League. Argues that studies show that the rhetoric of red menace was greatly exaggerated and did not correspond to the reality of the workers' demands.

In the first years of the twentieth century, British Columbia became the dynamic centre of the socialist movement which was emerging across Canada. Beginning in 1898 the institutional and doctrinal foundations of the provincial movement were laid by eastern Canadian, British and American socialists. Five years later a socialist party with an almost unique ideology and extraordinary power in the labour movement had emerged; nowhere were the socialists more doctrinaire or influential. The purpose of this essay is to examine the institutional and ideological development of British Columbia socialism during its critical formative years. --Introduction

In this paper, the authors discuss some of the policy alternatives available to a Government and a union movement and consider in detail the alternative chosen by one African country, Kenya. Moreover they examine how the Government has sought to reconcile its economic development objectives with granting unions such traditional freedoms as the right to strike, the right to bargain collectively and the right of free association. In doing so they discuss the development of labour legislation in Kenya and examine its effects upon the strike weapon as a source of union power and the effect of strikes on the Kenya economy. Finally they offer some speculations on futur trends of industrial relations in Kenya.
