In order to deal with the intense competition, both from international and domestic sources, there has been a movement among unions and management in the US to create a new cooperative relationship. While the concept of cooperation has taken several forms, one such approach involves labor participation in some phase of the production process through various programs. Their progress up the hierarchy is such that they are more likely to interfere with traditional managerial prerogatives. A questionnaire was sent to the executive in charge of the labor relations function at 213 major US corporations; 93 corporate officials responded. The basic conclusion reached was that management is still very protective of its perceived rights. On almost all issues surveyed, an overwhelming majority of respondents believed that the issue should be determined solely by management.

Plusieurs recherches déjà publiées concluent au haut degré de satisfaction au travail des salariés vieillissants. La préoccupation principale est alors la relation entre l'âge et la satisfaction au travail. Le présent article tente d'ajouter à notre compréhension de la transformation de la relation au travail à mesure que le salarié vieillit en considérant simultanément l'âge professionnel, l'âge physiologique et l'âge légal.

Profiles the life and work of Richard Ernest (Lefty) Morgan (1914-1987)—radical political activist, railway engineer, trade unionist, editor, and independent scholar. In the 1930s, he spent time in the BC relief camps for the unemployed and was clubbed by police at the Battle of Ballantyne Pier during the Vancouver Longshoremen's Strike of 1935. An admirer of the Wobblies, he wrote and edited on capitalism, the labour process, and railway operations, with an eye toward work place democracy and workers' control. A longtime member of the Stanley Park Club, Morgan was a member of the Labour Party of Canada (1958-60), then joined the CCF in 1962 and attended the NDP's founding convention, only to become disillusioned. Although a strong trade union activist, he nevertheless believed that unions were subverted by negotiations and capitalist economic requirements. Concludes that Morgan was fundamentally a democrat who believed that individual freedom and democratic decision-making, whether in the work place or elsewhere, were essential to social peace and economic well-being.

Alberta, Canada, has shown a decline in unionization levels over the past few years. Part of this decline can be attributed to environmental developments in the 1980s that combined to increase hostility to unions. Philosophically, unions accepted a limited role in Albertan society and tried to rely on collective bargaining to advance their members' interests. In practice, unions attempted to realize their philosophy by following an action orientation emphasizing immediate economic interest (real wage increases and job security) in collective negotiations. Union decline is the result of an inconsistency between unions' adversarial view and their inability to realize the economic objectives that this view promotes. An attempt is made to test whether an inconsistency exists between unions' view of industrial relations and their effectiveness in securing real wage gains.

Using union records, newspapers and relevant secondary sources this thesis examines the complex process of union organization at a local level, an area of union activity that has received little attention from Canadian labour historians. In 1938, the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers began a drive to organize workers at the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company's industrial complex in Trail, British Columbia. Although the campaign took place in an era of explosive trade union growth, the attempt to establish a local in Trail was long and difficult, succeeding only in 1945. The following study analyzes the various factors which limited or aided Local 480's growth during this seven year period. The historical development of both company and union is examined along with organizational strategies, management reaction, worker response and the effect of labour legislation. This thesis argues that, while all the above factors were important, labour legislation had the greatest impact on the organization process and was instrumental in the successful completion of Local 480's campaign.

Cette étude vérifie la perception que les Canadiens se font du syndicalisme depuis la Deuxième Guerre mondiale grâce à l'analyse d'un très grand nombre de sondages effectués par plusieurs firmes. Les sondages de Gallup Canada se sont révélés particulièrement riches d'informations car cette firme interroge les Canadiens depuis 1941 et répète certaines questions depuis plusieurs décennies. Cette continuité permet de retrouver les grandes tendances de l'opinion publique au Canada.
