In the history of Canadian labour and the left from 1900 to 1925 the radical life of Jack Kavanagh represents an important link between the politics of pre-war socialism and post-war communism. A prominent trade union leader and revolutionary propagandist in Vancouver, he was a founding member of the Communist Party of Canada in 1921 and its first provincial chairman in British Columbia. At the level of leadership, however, the foundation period of the communist movement in Vancouver was dominated by recurring disputes between Kavanagh and the party centre in Toronto, suggesting a kind of regional factionalism. This article reviews that historical experience and assesses Kavanagh's place in Canada's radical heritage.

La recherche en relations industrielles a surtout porté sur l'étude de nos institutions. En effet, les recherches traditionnelles dans notre domaine ont abordé principalement les questions relatives à la croissance syndicale, aux grèves, à la participation institutionnelle, à la négociation collective, aux mécanismes de règlement des conflits (arbitrage, médiation, conciliation, etc.), et finalement, à certaines dimensions des politiques publiques. Il ne fait aucun doute que les nombreuses recherches sur ces sujets ont eu le mérite de décrire des phénomènes précis. Il est à se demander, toutefois, si on a réellement développé un corpus de connaissances permettant de mieux comprendre ces divers phénomènes et de mieux prédire ou anticiper, dans une certaine mesure, les comportements et attitudes des acteurs.

This research tested the applicability of Sylvia Walby's theoretical model of patriarchy to a case study of women working and unionizing at the T. Eaton Co. The focus was on the two time periods 1947-1952 and 1984-86 when a unionization drive was underway at Eaton's. In-depth interviewing was conducted with over ninety participants in the events. Support was found for the aspects of Walby's model that pertain to patriarchal relations within paid work. In addition, forms of women's resistance and empowerment were examined specifically in relation to the 1984 unionization events. It was found that women's political action contains components that traditional politics do not explain. Overall, the findings of this case study strongly support Walby's position that gender inequality in society as a whole cannot be understood without the concept of patriarchy (1990).

Cet article vise à faire ressortir la contribution des femmes de la classe ouvrière montréalaise à l'économie familiale au cours de la Crise des années trente et à cerner l'impact de cette crise économique sur les différentes composantes de leur travail domestique. Une trentaine d'entrevues, réalisées auprès de femmes qui se sont mariées vers la fin des années vingt et au début des années trente, ont servi de base à la recherche. Leurs témoignages révèlent l'ampleur de certains phénomènes comme l'utilisation de moyens contraceptifs et le travail rémunéré à domicile, et mettent en relief la très grande pauvreté dans laquelle ces familles vivaient avant même que la Crise ne survienne. Pour plusieurs d'entre elles, la période des années trente n'a donc représenté qu'un épisode de plus dans leur lutte pour la survie.

Cet article porte sur le modèle de participation mis en œuvre dans le secteur d'État algérien à compter de 1971. La recherche montre que ce cadre institutionnel n'a pas résorbé le conflit entre les agents de production, comme le suggérait le discours officiel. Au contraire, le modèle de participation a généré un nouveau type de conflit entre les différents acteurs et instances impliqués dans l'entreprise socialiste.

People frequently overdo the parallels between events and institutions in Canada and the United States, even confusing them at times. The 1939 split in the United Auto Workers Union was a case in point. The end of the 1930s was a period of stresses and strains for the unions in both countries. For the UAW, relations with the employers went on side by side with a struggle between Socialists, Communists, anti-Communists and their respective allies. Though divided, Socialists and Communists at times took the same side. One such time was in 1938-39. The high point of the period was when both joined in getting rid of the "International President," Homer Martin. In Canada, the two principal factions carried on a bitter struggle for the leadership of the union, slowing down only a bit while they both lined up with the opposition to Martin in the us. In the process, the first Canadian director of UAW, the Socialist Charles Millard, also lost his post. In the US, meanwhile, the two main factions concentrated on defeating Martin, while jockeying for position for their future struggle for the leadership.
