This study investigates the effects of strikes and strike length on negotiated wage settlements in Canada using a large body of individual contract data. The main novelty of the paper is the inclusion of both a strike/no strike dummy variable and the length of the strike if one occurred in an equation explaining wage changes. This allows for the possibility (and thus tests the hypothesis) that the occurrence or non occurrence of a strike and the length of the strike if one occurred have separate effects on the negotiated settlement.

La grève des travailleurs des mines de nickel de la multinationale INCO à Sudbury en 1978-79 est un jalon de l’histoire ouvrière au Canada. Les cinéastes ont choisi de suivre ce conflit d’une durée de 9 mois du point de vue des femmes des grévistes qui s’organisent en comité d’appui à la grève. Tourné au cœur des familles ouvrières, le film documente au quotidien l'implication des femmes dans la grève : les activités pour soutenir les familles, les lignes de piquetage, les prises de conscience et les débats parfois houleux avec le syndicat ou leurs maris. Ensemble, les femmes de Sudbury découvrent l’emprise de la compagnie sur leur vie personnelle et sur la vie collective, remettant en question leur rôle domestique traditionnel et découvrant leur propre pouvoir. // The 1978-79 strike of mine workers at the International Nickel Company (INCO) in Sudbury was a milestone in Canadian labour history. The filmmakers chose to follow the nine month conflict from the point of view of the strikers' wives, who organised themselves into a strike support committee. Shot at the heart of working-class families, the film documents the women's day-to-day involvement in the strike: activities to support their families, picket lines, awareness-raising and the sometimes heated debates with the union or their husbands. Together, the women of Sudbury discover the company's hold on their personal and collective lives - in the process questioning their traditional domestic role and discovering their power. --Website description

First published in 1980, Rick Salutin's biography captures Kent Rowley's unforgettable personality and details his life struggle: an epic tale in which one man's life intersects with all the major issues of his time. Kent Rowley's remarkable odyssey through Canadian history began with a Montreal high school strike. In the depths of the Depression he organized office workers. He was interned under the War Measures Act in 1940, emerging from jail to take on Premier Maurice Duplessis and the textile giants of Quebec alongside Madeleine Parent, a brilliant and influential union organizer. He survived fifteen years in the wilderness during the Cold War; and his stubborn opposition to international unions culminated in the founding, in 1968, of the Confederation of Canadian Unions dedicated to fight for independent Canadian trade unionism. Kent Rowley is a brilliant examination of the career of one of the great figures of Canadian labour history. --Publisher's description

In and around the site of the town of Minto lie New Brunswick's only major coal deposits. From the Laurier period to World War II the district experienced a process of industrial development, accompanied by the emergence of a working-class community, dominated at the time of World War I by immigrant mine labour, later, by native-born workers drawn into the industry from the surrounding rural areas. Like colliers in Nova Scotia or the western regions, Minto's workers sought relief from the worst abuses of industrial-capitalist development through trade union organization. This met with fierce resistance from the employers, resulting in major coal strikes in 1920, 1926, 1934, and 1937-38. In Minto, however, a specifically political response, easily observable in other coal-mining regions was largely lacking. Radicalism in particular was weak, the political activity of Minto's workers being mainly confined to attempts to influence the policies and practices of the existing authorities. The paper attempts an explanation of the particular characteristics of Minto's working-class movement through reference to the interaction of local factors of culture and structure, and the evolution of the complex relationships between labour, business, and the state.

The writers came together in the fall of 1977 to carry forward the discussion of domestic labour that began with such a promise in the late 1960s. In so doing, we hoped to develop the Marxist theory of women's oppression that is essential in the struggle for women's liberation. --From Editor's introduction

Assesses the Windsor conference versus the London meeting of the previous year, as well as the meaning of the Windsor conference for blue-collar workers. Concludes that the Windsor conference, with its sessions on industrial conflict and on the past and futue of the Canadian working class, was more firey; and that academic work, including theory, must also be relevant and accessible to workers and their struggles.
