Les relations entre le vieillissement des salariés et les conditions de travail se situent à deux niveaux: l'un individuel qui est propre au vieillissement de chacun, l'autre collectif qui est marqué par les phénomènes de génération et d'époque. Ces relations ont été étudiées dans l'industrie automobile française en se centrant sur le travail répétitif sous cadence imposée et en associant des approches en démographie du travail et des approches ergonomiques. Les résultats permettent de définir des actions anticipatrices pour éviter les effets négatifs d'une double évolution : celle du vieillissement de la population des opérateurs et celle de l'organisation du travail.

Certification data were used from the province of Nova Scotia to provide further evidence that convergence of industrial relations systems between the US and Canada is far from unavoidable. Contrary to arguments advanced by Troy (1991), private sector organizing in Canada, even when operating under a US-style legal environment, remains remarkably robust, posting a win rate of 68% over a 10-year period with no evidence of longitudinal decline. Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that international unions are unable to match the organizing performance of their Canadian counterparts.

A chapter of the book "Labour/Le Travail" is presented. It explores the discussion on whether slaves in the U.S. were proletarians. It highlights the reasons behind why criticism of W. E. B. Du Bois' use of neo-Marxist terminology has been restricted in the country. It notes the move of Noel Ignatiev to rely on Du Bios to refute Eric Foner, who reviewed the book "Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1963-1877."

Dans un monde en changement, l'organisation s 'ajuste aux besoins de son environnement. Dans le contexte des annees 1980, la tangente prise par les entreprises privilégie la fonction ressources humaines en lui conférant un rôle prépondérant dons l'atteinte des objectifs organisationnels. Au cours de la dernière décennie, les chercheurs ont développé de nouvelles approches de gestion des ressources humaines et les praticiens ont vanté les mérites d'une préoccupation accrue de cette ressource dans l'organisation. Cependant, qu'en est-il réellement? Cette étude tente de retracer l'évolution de la fonction ressources humaines entre 1978 et 1989 au Québec et de vérifier si !es pérceptions qu 'en ont les directeurs généraux et les directeurs des ressources humaines dans des entreprises du secteur sécondaire privé ont sensiblement changé au cours de cette même période.

German-Canadian labour first organized itself at the national level soon after the outbreak of the Depression, in 1929. Once organized, the movement was integrated into the international communist labour movement, under the direction of the Comintern. After the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in Germany, German-Canadian labour changed its focus from radically altering society to fighting Naziism. The change in focus helped many German-Canadian pro-communists escape internment when war broke out. The war, however, brought an end to their organized activities. These recommenced soon after Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union. Established in 1942. the German Canadian Federation became essentially an advocate of Soviet Russian views and interests. This greatly weakened its appeal in the German Canadian community and contributed to the demise of the German Canadian labour movement soon after the end of World War II.

A relatively new and potentially important administrative forum for interpreting the concept of reasonable accommodation has been created by the Ontario Workers' Compensation Act as amended in 1989. The revised act contained provisions requiring employers to reemploy, and where necessary make reasonable accommodations for, workers following an injury. Though representing an important reformation for the workers' compensation system, accommodation requirements are present in other labor market policy initiatives. The accommodation requirements in other legislation and jurisprudence in Canada are discussed, the recent reforms to the Ontario Workers' Compensation Act are described in which accommodation represents an integral component, and the new and emerging jurisprudence under the revised act are outlined.

In May 1879 construction workers struck on contract 15 of the CPR to demand back pay, restoration of wage structures, and improved board and medical attendance. The working conditiona, causea. and outcome of the strike were typical of the situation for unskilled labourers on large construction projects in the 19th century. The workers gained their back pay, but little else. At the same time, the strike contributed to the loss of the contract by the contractor, Joseph Whitehead, and perhaps also contributed to the end of the small contract system of building the transcontinental railway.

Some 24 Relationships by Objectives (RBO) programs conducted by the Education Relations Commission in Ontario were evaluated. An RBO is a form of preventive mediation and applies problem-solving techniques to attempt to reduce such unnecessary conflict as language disputes over grievances, strikes, and the time in negotiations. Mean conflict scores of the RBO boards are compared, before and after RBO, with those of the education sector and a control group of boards. Some evidence is found of a half-life effect for RBO programs since long-run conflict scores returned to pre-RBO levels. However, RBO appears to be effective in reducing conflict as measured by time to reach a settlement and number of grievance arbitrations over language issues.
