This Commission was established by the federal government and was publicly announced on June 27, 1983. The Terms of Reference required the Commission to explore the most efficient, effective, and equitable means of promoting equality in employment for four groups: women, native people, disabled persons, and visible minorities. .At the same time, it was to inquire specifically into the employment practices of 11 designated crown and government-owned corporations. It was clear at the outset that only a broad approach would serve, and the Commission therefore treated the 11 designated corporations as illustrative models of the issues under study. No corporation's employment practices can be assessed fairly in a cultural vacuum. It would be difficult at best to make judgements about the adequacy of the practices of crown and government-owned corporations without placing these practices in the context of what other Canadians do, believe, or expect. --From "The Process" [introduction]

Trade unions were not criminal conspiracies in Canadian law prior to the passage of the Trade Unions Act. In a series of trials between 1854 and 1872 the Toronto criminal courts consistently failed to convict workers on evidence that would have warranted conviction had combinations to raise wages or lessen hours been considered to be criminal conspiracies. Analysis of the English case-law reveals a lack of judicial consensus that such combinations were criminal conspiracies, and in any event all such statements of law were merely obiter dicta. While such trade union purposes as raising wages could serve as evidence of combination, there was no criminal conspiracy in the absence of specific crimes.

This paper examines the role of Canadian immigration policies in the creation of an ethnically segmented working class in pre-Second World War British Columbia. Existing research on the British Columbian working class has documented the radical nature of (white) working class trade union and socialist organization, while at the same time identifying anti-Asian racism as a major feature of organized (white) working class activity in the province. The formation of an ethnically segmented working class occurred through a complex and reciprocal process of ethnic segmentation within the labour market and the political and ideological practices of the working class. In British Columbia, I argue, state immigration policies played a crucial role in this process by according Asian immigrants, in contrast to European and American immigrants, an inferior political status as "non-settlers' within Canada, reinforcing their marginal economic position within the labour market and placing Asian workers in a position of economic and political inferiority vis-a-vis other workers in the province. In this context, immigration policies became a focus of class conflict in British Columbia, and working class organization and consciousness developed in an ethnically segmented and racist form.

[This book] is the last of a 5-volume series of readers designed to present an overview of Canada's social history, encompassing such topics as economic development, social structure, protest and violence, social control, work and workers, and the changing role of women. In this volume the editors have commissioned a collection of original essays designed to provide a scholarly response to the vital questions: "Who are we as a people? How did we become what we are?" The extent and influence of foreign ownership in the post-war world is examined by Paul Phillips and Stephen Watson. David Wolfe chronicles the emergence of the welfare state after the war and its recent decline. Michael Behiels explores the ideological tensions among federalist, nationalist, and socialist intellectuals in Quebec and Canada. Ruther Pierson and Marjorie Cohen discuss sexual bias in federal manpower policies in depression, war, and reconstruction. The struggles of labour, management, and government are examined in articles by Wayne Robert and John Bullen, and by Wallace Clement. And the education system as a instrument of social control is the subject of Paul Axelrod's essay. --Publisher's description
