Ce texte établissait les aspects opérationnels du programme de reclassement. Or ce jugement décide de rendre « invalides et inopérants » trois articles importants de ce règlement et de ce programme.

This anthology consists largely of eyewitness accounts of - and often by - the working men, women, and children of Canada. Beyond the institutional history of trade unions and labour partiees are massive changes in patterns of thought, economic life, standards of living, and conditions of work. In these primary sources, we may glimpse these changes, see their impact in human terms, and hear the voices of the unorganized, the unemployed, and the oppressed, as well as those of union officials and skilled workers with hopes of rapid upward mobility. Most significantly, these documents suggest not only new directions for the student of Canadian social history, but also major revisions of some traditional assumptions of the historian. These readings - most taken from rare, out-of-print, or previously unavailable documents -- tell of life and work in an industrializing, expanding Canada; of conditions in mines, factories, farms and lumber camps; of the cruel exploitation of women and immigrant workers; and of the great migration in these years from country to city. They represent almost all the provinces and range over conditions in Victorian times to those faced today by field labour and immigrant men and women in modern sweatshops. In their own words, describing their dailly confrtontation with life, we can listen to a Calgary charwoman, a Japanese fisherman, a Cape Breton miner, a Jewish ragpicker, an Italian railroad worker, a Quebec garment worker, a Ukrainian farm-boy, and scores of others. Here is the most vivid account yet of the problem faced by Canadian workers, both native and immigrant; of their distinctive attitudes and traditions; and, above all, of their courage and bitter struggle for equality and a better life. The book as a whole is an important contribution to the movement in recent years to deepen and broaden our labour history. -- Publisher's description.

The author examines the role and forms of industrial democracy in the enterprise and when in the process of selection of questions, study and analysis, search for solutions and defining the final decision and which methods of implementation shall employees and their union share, and in what manner, the responsibilities of decision-making with management. Current arrangements must be viewed essentially as transitional accommodations in the unending search for viable, more satisfying and productive plans.

This is the story of the One Big Union--the people who built and those who tore it down. The tale is well known in its broad outlines to many people with an interest in Canadian history, but because it was a failure--and history is generally about winners--few have a clear idea of what the OBU was, why it was created and the reasons for its rapid demise. I have long believed the story should be told in full, because it carries with it an explanation of what happened to the spirit of radicalism and revolt that motivated many working people in the west prior to 1920. Sometimes the explanation of a failure is more revealing than the description of a success. --Author's preface, Contents: Preface -- Introduction (ix-xviii) -- The fight for survival (pages 1-28) -- The unique fermentation (pages 29-57) -- War and revolt (pagees 57-86) -- The red menace (pages 97-104) -- Midgley and Co.
