The Great Depression which struck all western nations in the 1930s was a period of great hardship for Newfoundlanders. Its burdens fell particularly hard on the island's loggers and their families. During the 1930s, for at least part of the year, nearly 6,000 Newfoundlanders toiled in the woods. While some worked full-time, many laboured part-time to supplement their meagre earnings from the fishery. Their labour contributed significantly to a forest products industry which, during the 1930s, was regularly valued at over $15 million a year and, in many years, made up over 50 per cent of the value of the island's exports. And yet, despite their numbers and their contribution to Newfoundland's economy we have heard very little of these loggers' lives and as Greg Kealey puts it, "their struggles to minimize their oppression and to improve the lives of their families and their class." This thesis examines the working lives of Newfoundland loggers during the Great Depression, their labour processes, strikes, collective actions and attempts to organize in the latter half of the decade. In 1930 there were no unions specifically for loggers. By 1939, however, there were three unions, the Newfoundland Lumbermen's Association, the Newfoundland Labourers' Union, and the Workers' Central Protective Union all of which represented loggers in the regions where they were based. The Fishermen's Protective Union was also still active in the 1930s negotiating agreements on behalf of loggers on the northeast coast of the island. This thesis looks at the emergence, structure, and effectiveness of the unions and at their damaging rivalries. In doing so, it charts the changes these organizations forged in the relations between labour and capital in the Newfoundland woods before World War II.

Chronicles the transformative impact of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) on Canada's labour movement and society. Discusses the shift from craft-based unions to industrial unionism, emphasizing the CIO's success in organizing workers across industries, securing collective bargaining rights, and improving wages, working conditions, and benefits. The CIO played a pivotal role in shaping Canada's social security system, advocating for universal health care, pensions, and unemployment insurance, while supporting the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) to push for progressive policies. The CIO's innovative methods, such as education programs and political action, reshaped industrial relations and laid the foundation for modern labour rights in Canada.

This thesis examines the historical development of hospital-based nursing and its labour process in Ontario between 1850 and 1922. By building upon feminist critiques of Marxist theory, the thesis seeks to apply class and gender as empirically significant concepts. The analysis proceeds at two levels of abstraction. First, it locates the emergence of nursing vis-a-vis the growth of hospital-based care, both of which were influenced by broader changes in society, the economy and family. Secondly, it links changes in the content and control over nurses' work to those broader social changes, and more specifically to the struggles between physicians, hospital administrators, and nursing superintendents at the level of the workplace, namely the hospital.
