The article discusses the life and work of the Black American actor-singer, Paul Robeson. Known for his Communist and Soviet sympathies, Robeson endured extensive harrassment at the hands of US authorities. In 1952, he was blocked at the border from entering Canada by the US State Department while en route to Vancouver to perform at the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' union convention. The author concludes that, while Robeson paid a steep price, both personally and professionally, for his beliefs, he also was a hero to many.

This paper discusses the appropriation of a work of popular culture as a tactic in a politics of cultural hegemony. The work in question, Michel Tremblay's play Les Belles-Soeurs, is particularly interesting as it is the first working-class cultural production shown in public in the new Québec of the 1960s, where the Quiet Revolution was in full bloom. After sixteen years of conservative government and Church domination in the cultural domain, the province was led by a liberal govemment whose members were mostly from the urban petty-bourgeoisie. The field of cultural production changed markedly. The study illustrates a project of cultural critique in newspapers with differing audiences. It reveals the tactics adopted to accommodate and recuperate this irruption of popular culture. It compares the treatment of Les Belles-Soeurs by French reviewers in Québec with those in France and with English reviewers in Canada.

During the height of the Cold War, a new form of conflict among Canadian workers emerged along political lines. In some cases, the major source of conflict shifted from that of union versus management to left-wing union versus right-wing union. This thesis focuses on such an inter-union battle between the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and the United Steelworkers of America in Sudbury, Ontario from 1942 to 1969. ln this analysis, which attempts to incorporate the perspectives of the unions, the mine operators, and the Catholic Church and its affiliate organizations, it will be shown that despite the profound influence of the union executives, the media, the Church, and other prominent figures, the final decision regarding which union to join was ultimately made by the rank-and- file members at Inco and Falconbridge (with the miners at Inco choosing the Steelworkers as their bargaining agent while the miners at Falconbridge chose to remain with Mine-Mill).

Le 18 septembre 2003, la Cour suprême du Canada rendait un arrêt concernant la compétence juridictionnelle de l'arbitre de grief de s'enquérir néanmoins du respect des règles de droit public même si la convention collective privait un salarié congédié du droit à tout contrôle arbitral1. La prolématique sous-jacente mettait en opposition quelques dispositions de la convention collective privant expressément le salarié à l'essai du droit à l'arbitrage suite à la résiliation du contrat de travail par l'employeur et des dispositions des lois de l'emploi lui conférant certains droits spécifiques. One ne saurait être surpris qu'un arbitre de grief soit saisi d'une telle question tant en Ontario qu'au Québec alors que cette même problématique est soulevée en tous milieux de teravail au Canada. Il convient de rappeler le cheminement de l'affaire en chacune des quatre strates du systéme judiciaire puis de souligner les principales réponses données par la Cour suprême du Canada à la majorité de ses juges (7/9) et par la double dissidence. Nous faisons suivre le tout de nos commentaires au sujet des principales questions de droit qui y sont traitées.
