Dans la foulée de la décision qu'il avait rendue dans Société canadienne des postes et Shoppers Drug Mart Limited, le Conseil a récemment été amené à examiner de nouveau l'application des dispositions relatives aux droits de successeur dans le secteur des postes. Il a conclu à deux reprises, mais pour des motifs différents, que la concession de l'exploitation d'un bureau de poste avec marge brute à l'intérieur d'une pharmacie ne constituait pas une vente d'entreprise au sens du Code canadien du travail (le Code) parce qu'aucun transfert au sens des dispositions relatives aux droits de successeur n 'avait été établi. Contrairement à la situation prévalant dans Shoppers Drug Mart Limited, dans ces deux affaires, la Société canadienne des postes (la Société) n'avait consenti aux concessionnaires aucune exclusivité à l'égard de la vente des produits et services postaux pour le territoire visé dans chacun des contrats.

This paper uses two recent books in Canadian labour history, Craig Heron's "Working in Steel" and Ian Radforth's "Bushworkers and Bosses," to briefly review the place of masculinity in working-class history. The author suggests that while Heron and Radforth introduce masculinity into their studies, they do not fully develop all of its meanings and functions. Drawing upon the literature on the social construction of work, gender, and sexuality, the paper then goes on to suggest some ways in which we can begin to explore aspects of masculinity and sexuality within working-class history.

Ganong Bros., a family-owned confectionery factory, is a major employer in a small town in southwestern New Brunswick. Up to the end of the Second World War, the period of this study, the numbers employed in the confectionery industry fluctuated dramatically with the variable seasonal demand for confectionery. At Ganong Bros., less than half the total workforce was employed for more than half the year. Work in the factory was divided along gender lines men made the candy, and women added the finishing touches. About two-thirds of the factory employees were women, most of them young and single. These women could be considered as a reserve army of labour, since many of them worked for a few weeks only, in the busiest season. But when women were not available to fill positions in traditionally female departments, Ganong Bros. management did not consider hiring men instead, even when the women's wages compared favourably to men's. Management decisions about the organization of work in the factory were influenced not only by technical or financial considerations, but by unquestioned assumptions about what work was appropriate to each gender.

Un donneur d'ouvrage confie le même service à un autre entrepreneur spécialisé, ce dernier ne peut être lie par l'accréditation et la convention collective du prédécesseur-concurrent. Telle serait la portée pratique d'un récent jugement de la Cour suprême du Canada commente par l'auteur. L'approche retenue par la Cour pour justifier cette révision, celle de la question juridictionnelle, y est fortement critique parce qu'elle inciterait les tribunaux judiciaires à servir d'instances d'appel là où le législateur voulut écarter cette voie.
