The essence of a system of extending collective agreements to nonunionized parts of an industry which is unique in North America and specific to Quebec is to allow government to make some provisions of a collective agreement compulsory for 3rd parties, employers, and wage-earners who are not parties to the agreement. Most commonly, a sort of 2-stage negotiation takes place. First, the unionized firms, the ones with certified unions, negotiate their collective agreement as they would normally do under the Labor Code provisions. Then a 2nd round takes place on a voluntary basis among the employers and unions that are interested in filing a request with the Minister of Labor to have their agreement extended. When the minister receives the petition of the parties and the text of the agreement, they are first both published. The minister receives any objections during a period of 30 days. The extension is proclaimed by way of a decree or order-in-council. Despite difficulties, the system operates, and most likely, to the satisfaction of the parties directly involved in its day-to-day functioning.

Canadian input-output and census data is used from 1961, 1971, and 1981 to decompose employment changes during each decade into 9 sources. The goals are to identify: the main sources of growth in aggregate employment, factors which facilitated the more rapid growth of employment in the 1970s, and some reasons for intersectoral shifts of employment and changes in occupational composition of employment. The share of information-related jobs in total employment grew more rapidly during the 1960s than the 1970s. Most of the growth in the share of information workers in total employment has derived from changes in the occupational mix. However, differences in growth rates of employment between industries, related to differences in the rates of change in hours worked, labor productivity, final demand and changes in the input-output matrix, have also contributed to this shift toward information-related occupations.

This essay explores relations of gender and class, and the strategies developed by male unionists in defence of masculine craft status in the International Typo- graphical Union (ITU), the International Printing Pressmen's and Assistants' Union (IPP&AU), and the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders (IBB), between 1850 and 1914. The ITU and IPP&AU organized along masculine craft lines and effectively defended their status within the workplace with industrial capitalist incursions and the mechanization of the production process. A crisis to male domination of typesetting occurred with the introduction of machine typesetting in newspaper production during the early 1890s. The ITU succeeded in securing control over the operations of the machines for its predominately male membership. By the mid-19th century the work of press feeder was defined as unskilled work suitable for women and boys. With the introduction of larger and faster presses during the last two decades of the 19th century, the IPP&AU struggled to appropriate the task for masculinity using the male breadwinner ideal. The IBB actively supported the organization of women bindery workers from its inception in 1892, albeit with the intent of protecting the interests of journeymen.
