This is neither a history of the Canadian Congress of Labour nor of the CIO in Canada, but rather a study of the interaction of the two. Two basic conflicts - one internal, the other external - pervaded this relationship: the internal struggle of both organizations to rid themselves of their Communist-dominated affiliates, and the external battle of the Congress, and to a lesser etent of its CIO affiliates, to achieve and defend their autonomy in the face of the aggressive incursions of the American unions to the south. A corollary to this latter conflict was the desperate struggle of the Congress to maintain its authority over its international affiliates. These two themes - the internal threat from the Communists and the external threat from the Americans - dominate the entire history of the Congress from its creation in 1940. Besides these two issues, all others seem insigificant. ...This study is based largely on the files of the Canadian Labour Congress and its affiliates. Interviews have filled in whatever information was not available in this voluminous correspondence. --From author's preface

Employer-employee relations in the Federal Public Service of Canada entered a new era with the proclamation on March 13, 1967, of three Acts— The Public Service Staff Relations Act ; The Public Service Employment Act ; and an Act to Amend the Financial Administration Act. The employees have been guaranteed the right to organize, the right to bargain, the right to strike and the right to get grievances adjudicated by an independent tribunal. The statutory right to grieve and get the grievances adjudicated have provided the federal public employees with a sense of justice and « fairplay ». The adjudication system has made the private sector of industrial jurisprudence applicable to federal public services with remarkable success. This article deals with the function and operation of the statutory Grievance Process and Adjudication.

Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude du profil psychologique d'étudiants canadiens-français inscrits dans des programmes de maîtrise en administration des affaires (M.B.A.). L'objectif de l'étude est de comparer le profil de ces étudiants aux profils de l'entrepreneur et du« manager » suggérés par les études sur ces deux types d'agent économique. Dans l'ensemble les étudiants ont un profil se rapprochant davantage du« manager » que de l'entrepreneur ; cependant une forte proportion d'entre eux montre un profil se rapprochant ni de l'entrepreneur ni du manager. On montre de plus comment cette information pourrait être utilisée pour formuler une politique de sélection des candidats à un programme de M.B.Â.

Subsequent to 1915, a wave of labor unrest swept through Canada. This unrest was the result of long working hours and high prices, two consequences of World War I. Labor unrest was especially acute in the West. Frequency of strike action and growth of trade union membership reveal that this unrest increased dramatically from 1916 until a climax was reached in 1919. The formation of the One Big Union and the Winnipeg General Strike affected Edmonton. Here, branches of the OBU were established and, in May, 1919, a general sympathetic strike occurred. The purpose of the Edmonton strike was to demonstrate solidarity with the strikers of Winnipeg. Edmonton, with a population under 60,000, did not experience a dramatic work stopage such as that which occurred in Manitoba's capital. Upon first reflection, it would appear that the relatively small size of Edmonton, and its location within a primarily agricultural environment, were the principle reasons why the strike was short in duration and did not terminate in a climate of hostility and repression such as was experienced at Winnipeg. In depth research demonstrates, however, that other significant factors must be considered. The Edmonton sympathetic strike occurred in a city under the control of a mayor who, along with many aldermen, were responsive to the aspirations of organized labor. Through the vehicle of the Dominion Labor Party, organized labor was actively involved in civic politics. The Edmonton Trades and Labor Council, in which most union locals were represented, was dominated by men who advocated political action through the means of the DLP. This leadership remained loyal to their "international" craft unions at a time when many Canadian workers were switching their allegiances to the One Big Union. Unlike in Winnipeg and Vancouver, OBU adherents in Edmonton were unable to wrest control of trade union structures from such a leadership. A "purge" of OBU proponents within the E.T. & L.C. was the reason for this, and, at the time of the May, 1919 sympathetic strike, a trade council dominated by "loyalists" was able to direct the course taken by labor during the action. The Edmonton daily press, while extending considerable coverage to the labor unrest of the 1918-1919 period, gave, in many cases, an unreliable account of trade union activity. For this reason, Part One of this thesis is a narrative history of organized labor in Edmonton and district prior to 1920. In Part Two, press coverage of laber unrest is analyzed. This analysis has demonstrated the influence the press had on the image enjoyed by various components of organized labor in 1918-1919, and the influence the press had on the actions of trade unionists themselves at that time. That the "loyalist" upholders of "international" craft unionism were able to retain their control over the course of events in 1919 was due, to no small extent, to the active intervention of the daily press into the activities of the labor movement.

Perceptions of the configuration and quality of intergroup climates by 256 engineer-scientists in ten R & D organizations were factor analyzed. Five reliable dimensions evolved which accounted for 65% of the 68-item total variance. For each of these dimensions, the relationships between three combinations of level of attainment, level of aspiration, and level of urgency are explored separately and the combined impact of each combination on overall satisfaction with intergroup communication is examined. The findings suggest that unweighted scores provide better predictors of overall satisfaction with intergroup communication than do scores weighted by urgency ratings. Results lend empirical weight to studies in which the utility of weighted versus unweighted scores in the prediction of job satisfaction were explored.
