In and around the site of the town of Minto lie New Brunswick's only major coal deposits. From the Laurier period to World War II the district experienced a process of industrial development, accompanied by the emergence of a working-class community, dominated at the time of World War I by immigrant mine labour, later, by native-born workers drawn into the industry from the surrounding rural areas. Like colliers in Nova Scotia or the western regions, Minto's workers sought relief from the worst abuses of industrial-capitalist development through trade union organization. This met with fierce resistance from the employers, resulting in major coal strikes in 1920, 1926, 1934, and 1937-38. In Minto, however, a specifically political response, easily observable in other coal-mining regions was largely lacking. Radicalism in particular was weak, the political activity of Minto's workers being mainly confined to attempts to influence the policies and practices of the existing authorities. The paper attempts an explanation of the particular characteristics of Minto's working-class movement through reference to the interaction of local factors of culture and structure, and the evolution of the complex relationships between labour, business, and the state.

Par un arrêt unanime, la Cour Suprême du Canada renverse un courant jurisprudentiel bien établi de la Cour d'appel duQuébec. Elle affirme le pouvoir d'un tribunal d'arbitrage d'accorder des dommages-intérêts à un employeur victime d'une grève déclenchée pendant une convention collective. La convention collective dont il s'agissait prohibait une telle grève, mais ne contenait aucune mention expresse du pouvoir du tribunal d'arbitrage d'ainsi réparer un tel défaut d'appliquer cette disposition prohibitive.

La Cour suprême vient de rejeter le pourvoi formé à rencontre de l’arrêt de la Cour d'appel du Québec dans Lafrance c. Commercial Photo Service Inc. Non seulement ce jugement unanime dispose-t-il du droit de l'employeur de congédier un salarié en raison de la simple participation de ce dernier à une grève illégale; en pratique, il fait le point, d'une façon beaucoup plus générale, sur l'étendue du pouvoir d'appréciation du commissaire du travail et du Tribunal du travail quant à cette « autre cause, juste et suffisante » que doit établir un employeur pour repousser la présomption légale de congédiement en raison de l'exercice d'un droit résultant du Code du travail(L.R.Q., 1977, a. 15 et sq.).
