Pendant longtemps, des milliers de femmes gagnèrent leur vie dans des bordels à Montréal. L'étude de leur milieu de travail pendant les années vingt et trente révèle une organisation hiérarchique et des conditions dont le contrôle échappait aux principales intéressées. L'appareil judiciaire et policier, les organisations de réformes sociales, le clergé et les médecins hygiénistes affectaient, par la tolérance ou la répression, le cadre dans lequel s'exerçait la prostitution. Plus directement, les souteneurs, les tenancières et leurs gérantes déterminaient les conditions quotidiennes de travail. Les changements observés pendant toute cette période sont plus imputables à la vigilance policière qu'aux fluctuations économiques ou aux efforts des travailleuses elles-mêmes.

This paper examines the changing pattern of worker participation in organizations during recent conditions of economic down-turn. The authors conclude that the current recession has served as a catalyst to force many organizations and their members to recognize that traditional management approaches and resulting employee responses have become increasingly inadequate in the light of wider social changes, and that there is more support for an «evolutionary ratchet» as opposed to a «cyclical» notion of participation.

Although a great deal has been written about the western Canadian working class in the first two decades of the twentieth century, there is still a need to examine the nature of the labour-capital relations in a small prairie city like Saskatoon. Even though the Saskatoon working class lived and worked in an agricultural economy, it was far from being passive and conservative in ils relationship with the ruling class, especially in the period that led to the labour revolt of 1919. This relationship was based on class conflict, similar to what other workers were experiencing on a national and international basis. Class conflict was not restricted to the workpalce, for it also involved the working-class community when it came to matters of unemployment, living conditions. inflation, and the tragedies of war which enhanced the evils of capitalism. The Saskatoon working class issued both an economic and political response to prairie capitalism which included an astute understanding of the rules of the game and a form of radical politics which aimed at a transformation of society.
