Reviews the life and work of Canadian diplomat E. Herbert Norman, who died by suicide during the Cold War after being hounded for years as a suspected agent of the Soviet Union (the US Senate had recently reopened its investigation). Concludes that Norman was not a Soviet agent nor was he disloyal, despite his communist sympathies while a student at Cambridge University in the 1930s. The report, which was commissioned by the Canadian government, is based on ministerial records, RCMP files, Norman's personal correspondence, interviews, and a literature review. Includes two appendices.

In the 1880s both the Knights of Labor, and the Salvation Army, which in this period was an exclusively revivalistic movement, drew mass support from Ontario's working class. This paper looks at the nature of working class support for the two movements, noting that the Salvation Army was more likly to attract working class women and unskilled men, while the Knights were most popular among skilled men. The possibility of overlap in membership is also addressed. In assessing the appeal of the two movements to working class Ontarians the relationship between working class religion and class consciousness is explored. Christianity was clearly important to many individual Knights, and fueled the Order's class conscious critique of nineteenth century society. The Salvation Army's otherwordly emphasis meant that it ignored contemporary social and economic issues; nonetheless the Army provided a distinctly working class religious alternative which was actively critical of the respectable mainstream churches. The popularity of both the Knights and the Army demonstrate the importance of class identity and religious belief within the late nineteenth century Ontario working class.

A quick perusal of the literature in work and industry, industrial relations, and labour studies readily confirms that the current trend is towards some form of Quality of Working Life coupled with an appeal for all parties involved - employer, employee, and government - to change radically their attitudes towards collective bargaining. Employers have to become more willing to accept union contributions; employees have to become more cooperative and "confine adversarial tactics"; and the government has to adopt "a more positive attitude toward employers and unions" in order to facilitate trust and harmony between the two. --Introduction

Tout au long de leur vie active, les travailleurs prennent plusieurs décisions importantes quant à leur cheminement de carrière. Ces choix stratégiques de carrière ont été analysés, dans la littérature, d'abord selon une perspective dynamique (cf. les étapes de carrière), et plus tard selon une perspective plus statique (cf. les concepts de carrière). Le but de notre étude est de présenter une reformulation de la typologie de Driver susceptible de réconcilier l'approche dynamique et l'approche statique. En particulier, un élargissement théorique de la typologie de Driver est proposé afin de mieux saisir le phénomène des cheminements de carrière. Une étude empirique réalisée sur quatre-vingts travailleurs à la retraite permet de confirmer certains paramètres théoriques postulés.

James Shaver Woodsworth (1874-1942) stands as one of the half-dozen most important national political figures in twentieth-century Canadian history. Allen Mills acknowledges his outstanding achievements while providing a critical account of the Woodsworth legacy and revising the received opinion of him as a man of unbending conviction and ever-coherent principle. A product of western Canada's pioneer society and a stern Methodist household, Woodsworth grew up to make his way into social service and politcal action. A member of parliament for over twenty years, he rejected the traditional forms of political activity, seeking a new politics and a new political party. The latter turned out to be the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation founded in 1932. Its first leader was Woodsworth himself. In a crucial period between the World Wars, Woodsworth helped define the character of the modern Canadian, non-Marxist Left and of many of Canada's important economic and social institutions. Among them are the welfare state, the Bank of Canada, and Canada's internationalist role in the contemporary world.--Publisher's description.
