To an already tested empirical strike model, a microeconomic study adds variables that are related to foreign-owned firms in Canada. All the results point in the same direction: in Canada, it seems that foreign ownership has a negative influence on strike activity. This leads to the conclusion that, in accordance with the proposed theoretical approach, the positive impact on strike probability regarding problems of transmission and credibility of information brought about by the introduction of a third party (the head office) in the negotiations for a collective agreement was not tantamount. Attempts by multinational firms to develop negotiation "protocols" would appear to more than make up for problems in the quality and the credibility of information.

Women's involvement in broadening the activities of the Canadian state during the first half of the 20th century is examined in this study of the career of Agnes Macphail as it related to her efforts on behalf of working women. Noting her evolution from agrarian radical to social democrat, it stresses that Macphail's feminism stemmed from her beliefs in human rights, especially the need for greater equality of condition. As the first woman member of Parliament and of the Ontario legislature during 1921-51, Macphail's thought and activities were directed toward representing women's concerns, particularly those labouring on farms and in factories and offices, but they involved crucial personal decisions about motherhood as opposed to pursuing a career, Macphail helped to create the first universal federal social assistance program, contributed to the founding of the CCF, promoted union activity, and championed the first pay-equity legislation in Canada. She believed that integrationist politics offered the best route to assert women's influence on government.

Between the 1880s and the Great Depression agriculture emerged and matured as the mainstay of the prairie economy. Farm workers were essential to the developing economy and society, but their place in the rural west was ambiguous. During the pioneering period, labour shortages and accessible land gave farm workers bargaining strength in the labour market and a niche in prairie society. A cooperative working relationship and a shared ideology resulted in a lack of overt conflict between labour and capital. But as lands were taken, farm workers faced more and more the necessity of remaining as wage labourers. Their position became institutionalized. The First World War highlighted the conflict that was fundamental to labour-capital relations, as farm workers and farmers alike bolstered their economic positions. Labour and capital entered the post-war decade recognizing the increasing divergence of their aims. Their relationship became more overtly conflictual. Throughout this transformation, farm workers used strategies to influence the shape and rate of change in the industry and to maintain significant control over their own working lives. They responded as members of the working class, as active agents in relationships with their employers and with capitalism.

Le Québec compte plus de un million deux cent mille syndiqués et, chaque année, des milliers de nouvelles demandes d'accréditation sont accordées. Le syndicalisme, en dépit des crises qui l'ont secoué, reste donc un important partenaire social et économique. Dans cet ouvrage, Bernard Dionne trace l'histoire du mouvement syndical au Québec depuis le XIXe siècle. Il brosse le portrait du syndicalisme québécois, de son cadre légal, de ses effectifs et de ses structures, en marquant bien ce qui fait sa spécificité. Il explique ensuite les défis qui se posent aujourd'hui au syndicalisme québécois, qu'ils touchent des questions économiques - comme le libre-échange -, sociales - comme la place des jeunes et l'équité salariale des femmes - ou stratégiques - comme la négociation collective dans le secteur public. --Description de l'éditeur

[This book] is the story of the Canadian men and women who, during the period from 1865 to 1924, struggled against the corruption of political patronage, abysmal working conditions and poverty-level salaries in the federal civil service. This is an account of the history of some of the organizations formed to overcome these adverse conditions, and the story of the dedicated men and women who guided them, often at great personal risk. The book documents their few victories and many defeats, and the significant impact that their dogged perseverance has had on the Canadian federal service of today. --Publisher's description
