This paper attempts to determine the extent to which the concept of «intra-organizational bargaining», suggested by Walton and McKersie, among others, is useful in analyzing wage differentials between sub-groups within a local union. Based on historical data for public schoolteachers in Saskatchewan, the results show that the relative power of sub-groups within the union has a much stronger bearing on internal wage differentials than do the economic variables. This lends strong support to the intraorganizational bargaining model of internal wage differentials.

Analyzes 36 tables of data compiled on labour protest and organization in the nineteenth century including riots, strikes, occupations of strikers/rioters, regionalism, calendar of strikes, causes, strikes in major cities, and local and international unions. Labour unrest often took the form of riots in the early period, with strikes becoming more prevalent as workers became organized.

Cet article porte sur la réponse du milieu du travail à la mise en œuvre de la Loi sur la sante et la sécurité du travail. Dans une perspective d'analyse des politiques, l'article montre que cette loi contient deux types principaux de politique, l'un réglementaire et l'autre constitutionnel. Les éléments constitutionnels de la loi, ceux qui changent les règles du jeu en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail, se heurtent à des difficultés de mise en œuvre plus complexes au sein des groupes d'intérêts que les éléments réglementaires de la loi. Ces derniers, règles et normes de conformité auxquelles doivent se soumettre ces groupes, s'inscrivent plutôt dans une logique de continuité et ne présentent pas de graves difficultés de mise en œuvre.

The limited influence that ethnic studies and working-class history have exerted on each other can be explained by the priorities and the predominant theoretical orientations that have characterized the former field. Much more fruitful, instead, has been the growing convergence of related fields such as immigration history and migration studies towards working-class history. While this convergence has resulted in a much more sophisticated knowledge of the social and cultural universe in which labour movements have grown and developed, relatively little progress has been made in isolating ethnicity as a historical category and in determining its place in the development and articulation of social consciousness.
