...In this thesis we examine the history of the telephone workers, from their earliest organizing efforts to their public campaigns of today. In restricting the restructuring of their work, telephone workers have often been in the leadership successfully applying and developing militant labour tactics, from the first successful "hello girls" strike of 1902 to the dramatic provincial-wide seizing of exchanges by telephone workers in 1981. The history of the Telecommunications Workers Union provides a valuable case study of workers' efforts to build and maintain their union in [the] face of massive and continual technological change.

Cet article recherche les causes de la lenteur du développement des traditions syndicales chez les mouleurs montréalais. Fondé en 1859, le syndicat des mouleurs montréalais connaît deux décennies de stagnation relative avant que ses effectifs s'accroissent considérablement. Dans d'autres villes canadiennes, durant la même période, les mouleurs forment rapidement de puissants syndicats. A Montréal, les différences ethniques et linguistiques entre mouleurs d'origine britannique et mouleurs canadiens-français, et les tensions qu'elles engendrent durant la période, semble être au centre du problème. Seule une minorité de mouleurs, composée d'éléments écossais, irlandais, anglais et américains, se regroupent au sein d'un syndicat dès ses débuts. Les mouleurs non-syndiqués, majoritairement canadiens-français, optent apparemment pour un militantisme de type spontané ou organisé sur une base ponctuelle, qui s'appuie sur leur autonomie fonctionnelle au travail. Ce n'est qu' à la suite d'un processus d'adaptation relativement long, et sous la menace d'une dégradation de leur métier, que les mouleurs entreprennent l'unification de leurs rangs autour d'une organisation permanente de réglementation et dedéfense de leur métier. L'essor du syndicat s'effectue alors sous l'impulsion des mouleurs canadiens-français et, en seconde place, des mouleurs canadiens-irlandais.

Examines media coverage of Canada in the Soviet Union during the Cold War years from 1947-1955. Provides background on the post-World War II political situation in Europe including the founding of Cominform, the Soviet-East European news bureau, and its publication, "For a Lasting Peace." Argues that Soviet commentators, including academics, followed the line of the Stalinist dictatorship in viewing the Canadian state as subordinate to monopoly capital and under increasing US domination. Canadian communist party leader Tim Buck was also frequently quoted or featured, as was peace activist James Endicott. Concludes that the tone of the coverage moderated somewhat after Stalin's death in 1953, reflecting changes in the Soviet leadership and in policy direction. (Note: The author also published the book, "The Soviet Perception of Canada, 1917-1987: An Annotated Bibliographic Guide" (1988).)

La gestion des ressources humaines n'est ni une science, ni un ensemble de techniques mais un art: l'art de mobiliser des individus à la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Pourtant, la grande majorité des activités reliés à la gestion des ressources humaines ne tiennent pas toujours compte de la nature et des caractéristiques des individus. L'objet de cet article est de proposer une typologie des styles de gestion qui remet en cause la façon traditionnelle d'aborder la gestion des personnes et la productivité organisationnelle.

This paper critically looks at workplace relations, skills training and technological change and asks whether they are necessarily linked together in an inflexible way, particularly where microelectronics applications are concerned. It then goes on to argue that 'automation' can lead to the re-assembly of skills where mass-markets become differentiated at saturated levels of demand, with important implications for training-strategies.

In this study Marjorie Griffin Cohen argues that in research into Ontario’s economic history the emphasis on market activity has obscured the most prevalent type of productive relations in the staple-exporting economy – the patriarchal relations of production within the family economy. Cohen focuses on the productive relations in the family and the significance of women’s labour to the process of capital accumulation in both the capitalist sphere and independent commodity production. --Publisher's description
