Cet article porte sur la réponse du milieu du travail à la mise en œuvre de la Loi sur la sante et la sécurité du travail. Dans une perspective d'analyse des politiques, l'article montre que cette loi contient deux types principaux de politique, l'un réglementaire et l'autre constitutionnel. Les éléments constitutionnels de la loi, ceux qui changent les règles du jeu en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail, se heurtent à des difficultés de mise en œuvre plus complexes au sein des groupes d'intérêts que les éléments réglementaires de la loi. Ces derniers, règles et normes de conformité auxquelles doivent se soumettre ces groupes, s'inscrivent plutôt dans une logique de continuité et ne présentent pas de graves difficultés de mise en œuvre.

The limited influence that ethnic studies and working-class history have exerted on each other can be explained by the priorities and the predominant theoretical orientations that have characterized the former field. Much more fruitful, instead, has been the growing convergence of related fields such as immigration history and migration studies towards working-class history. While this convergence has resulted in a much more sophisticated knowledge of the social and cultural universe in which labour movements have grown and developed, relatively little progress has been made in isolating ethnicity as a historical category and in determining its place in the development and articulation of social consciousness.

Provides a biography and commentary on the work of Toronto artist Robert Kell, with a focus on the series on the Winnipeg General Strike that commenced in the 1970s. Discusses reception, exhibits, and lack of structured support for labour and worker-oriented art. Concludes that the Canadian labour movement must do more to support the political engagement of artists such as Kell. See also "Winnipeg, 1919: A Portfolio," by Robert Kell, published in the same issue of the journal.

In this study, a typology of shop steward modes of role behavior was developed and tested. Three ideal types of role behavior — passive, cooperative, and radical — were derived based on a theoretical framework consisting of Marxist, pluralist, and structural-functionalist approaches. Two behavioral modes were added to the theoretical typology to provide for the possibilities offailed and erratic stewardhip styles. The five role behaviors were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis resulting in a four-facet behavioral typology. The typology and its measuring tool can be used to generate and guide future research.

The obituary pays homage to Fred Thompson, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World who published a history of the IWW. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Thompson joined the Socialist Party of Canada while in his teens, then became a member of One Big Union upon his arrival in Winnipeg. While still in his early twenties, Thompson moved to California where he joined the IWW. With his fellow Wobblies, he was imprisoned in San Quentin prison for five years for revolutionary union activity. A labour organizer, journalist, editor, and teacher, Thompson later helped to save, then head, Charles H. Kerr Publishing, the radical publishing house. He died in Chicago on March 9, 1987. Includes a photo of Thompson.
