During the 19th century a longshoring tradition emerged out of the booming lumber trade in Saint John. Shiplabourers' organizations periodically vied with local merchants for control of the waterfront casual labour market. Work-bred feelings of mutualism were frequently undermined by job, ethnic, and religious segmentation. Despite the introduction of steamers, the longshore labour process remained relatively unchanged. The situation changed at the sum of the century as a result of the establishment of Saint John's winter-port facility. Big Capital confronted Big Labour in an all-out struggle for control of the docks. Aided by wartime conditions, the longshoremen finally succeeded in imposing new work-rules and exerting partial control over hiring practices. But after the Armistice, the shipping industry regained its previous authority, and hard-pressed Saint John longshoremen subsequently abandoned theft class-based efforts in favour of regional political nostrums.

Discusses historical methods used in the study of Latin American labour history. Criticizes both liberal and Marxist interpretations for their Eurocentric class analysis as well as specialized "new" social histories that neglect the effects of imperialism and elite-centred power in underdeveloped societies. Argues for "big picture" comparative studies of Latin American labour as well as dependency analysis — described as Latin America's most important contribution to world social thought — to challenge these insidious forms of cultural imperialism.

This paper analyses Manitoba's experiment with final offer selection for the purpose of clarifying the roots of the conflict it has generated.
-
The short-lived experiment with final-offer selection (FOS) arbitration in Manitoba has evoked considerable conflict and controversy. Not only did business oppose FOS, but also the labor movement fought over and split on the issue. FOS was addressed to a real problem now facing organized labor, namely, the need to assist workers in the small, relatively weak bargaining units found in the fastest growing sectors of the economy in order to counter the changing structure of the labor force and the related decline in union membership. However, FOS addressed this problem by creating the risk that unions' willingness and capacity to strike would be eroded. In a comment, Grant argues that FOS has not been widely embraced by trade unions representing weaker bargaining units and that the researchers seem to take lightly the principle of free collective bargaining because, by submitting a dispute to a selector, the employer's right to engage in a work stoppage was unilaterally suspended.
