"A Much-needed Class of Labour": The Economy and Income of the Southern Interior Plateau Indians, 1897-1910 - Burrows, James K. (BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly, 1986)
Anthropologists have long been interested in the study of the Indians of British Columbia. Historians, however, have not until recently shared that interest. Little research has been conducted on the history of the Indians and almost all of what has been done has been confined to the early contacts between the indigenous people and the Europeans, leaving open a wide field of study. ...The Southern Interior Plateau is an area which provides significant potential for study. It had numerous economic opportunities for white settlers in farming, mining, logging and other industries, but because of its relatively small European population it was necessary for many settlers to rely on its Interior Salish Indian population for wage labour. The major road and rail projects in this area also required labour, and many Indians were able to fit into the region's economy as independent farmers and ranchers. –From introductory section

Working Class Politics, Racism and Sexism; the Making of a Politically Divided Working Class in Vancouver, 1900-1939. - Creese, Gillian Laura (Carleton University, 1986)
This dissertation addresses the articulation of class, ethnic, and gender relations among the working class in Vancouver during its formative period, between 1900 and the eve of the Second World War in 1939. The historical development of a labour market segregated by ethnicity and gender is traced, and the effect of labour market segregation, ethnic relations of white domination, and patriarchal relations of male domination on the political practices of the working class is assessed. It is shown that the economic and political marginality of Asian and women workers in British Columbia affected their involvement in the Vancouver labour movement. Although many Asian and women workers played an active role in labour struggles, both were in a much weaker position than white male workers. Moreover, the practices of the predominantly white male labour movement reinforced the marginal position of Asian workers through exclusion, and women workers through the perpetuation of relations of dependence. Political divisions within the labour movement reflected the salience of ethnicity and gender in defining workers' lives, while at the same time reproducing the subordination of Asians and women within the labour market and throughout civil society. Conditions facilitating solidarity within the working class began to develop during the severity of the economic depression of the 1930s, when socialist politics were strengthened, and when Asian worker's and women workers began to place their own issues on the political agenda of the Vancouver labour movement.

Teachers' Work: Changing Patterns and Perceptions in the Emerging School Systems of Nineteenth - and Early Twentieth - Century Central Canada - Danylewycz, Marta; Prentice, Alison (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Teachers have been left out of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century labour history just as they have been ignored, as workers, in the history of education. This paper investigates themes in the history of elementary public school teachers' work in Quebec and Ontario during the period when state school systems were being put in place and public teaching forces were becoming predominantly female. During this period teachers contended with the introduction of new subjects and methods, the introduction of increasing amounts of paperwork, and a growing insistence on discipline and uniformity in increasingly hierarchical work places. In addition they had to deal with unhealthy working conditions and conflicts over who was responsible for the upkeep and physical improvement of schools. Although, by the turn of the century, increasing workloads, difficult working conditions, and low pay had pushed urban women teachers to form single-sex protective associations, most schoolmistresses failed to identify with other organized workers. Neither self-identified workers, nor the professionals they aspired to be, they began to understand one major source of their problematic status when they perceived that this derived, in large part, from their status as women.

Recently in the United States there has been a reawakening of interest in the wage effect of unionization (Freeman and Medoff, 1984). The question asked is what is the impact of unionization on overall pay levels and on the wage differentials within the work force? Although there has been considerable research on this issue in the United States (see Lewis, 1984 for a review), there is very little pertinent Canadian analysis (Gunderson, 1980).

A Class Act: An Illustrated History of the Labour Movement in Newfoundland and Labrador - Gillespie, Bill (Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour, 1986)
Working people seldom make it into the history books, and when they do the picture is seldom flattering. Too often, ordinary Newfoundlanders have been cast as a race of cap-doffers and forelock-tuggers. In this book Bill Gillespie confrnts the myth. He tells the story of that most important of working class institutions - the trade union. And as the story unfolds, a new cast of characters is introduced to our written history. They are the men and women who struggled within an economic system they did not control to improve the lives of their families and their class. Gillespie records their losses and their victories, their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Ultimately he records their success. It is the story of how Newfoundlanders surprised even themselves and turned their tiny country into the most unionized corner of North America. –Publisher's description

Bargaining Exercises Beyond Simulation, A Touch of Reality - Gilson, C. H. J. (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
Collective bargaining simulation exercises are valuable to students for a number of reasons: 1. They help students develop insight into interpersonal issues. 2. They motivate students. 3. The exercises offer specific skills that are usable in the job market. However, there are also a number of problems with simulation exercises. First, simulations are constructed using a contrived environment that does not parallel the real world. Second, peer pressure during the simulation encourages gregarious and arrogant forms of communication. Finally, production and personnel managers, presidents, and shop stewards cannot be included effectively. Despite these problems, there are 3 methods that can be used to give simulations a greater sense of reality: 1. follow up the first round of simulation with another based on the results of the first, 2. make third-party intervention available, and 3. encourage group support of a single chief negotiator.

On the Fringes: Capital and Labour in the Forest Economies of the Port Alberni and Prince George Districts, British Columbia, 1910-1939 - Hak, Gordon H. (Gordon Hugh) (Simon Fraser University, 1986)
The Port Alberni and Prince George districts of British Columbia experienced the beginnings of an extensive forest industry at about the same time, the second decade of the twentieth century, and both regions were destined to become substantial lumber centres. Yet in their early period of development, before the major changes of the 1940s, the two communities had distinct growth patterns: by 1939 the Port Alberni district had emerged as a prosperous lumber-producing centre housing an active, coordinaed working class while the Prince George district remained an economic backwater with a weak forest industry base, an ill-formed class, and quiscent labour movement. Simple economic or geographic explanations do not begin to address the complexity of the histories of the two regions. Only by closely examining the lumber companies, the sawmill workers, the loggers, and the broader community can the local historical contexts be understood. Further, exogenous factors such as western Canadian working-class initiatives, the role of the provincial state, and the shifting international lumber trade must also be taken into account. Business decisions, union drives, strike action, and political structures were all intertwined in shaping the velopment of these fringe areas of the province. By comparing the two forest districts this thesis not only highlights the various elements that interacted in creating the forest economics and forest-based communities, it also sheds light on the development of British Columbia's most important industry and the history of the western Canadian working class.

L'Obligation scolaire au Québec: Enjeu pour le mouvement syndical et agricole - Hamel, Thérèse (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
L'avènement de l'instruction obligatoire au Québec en 1943 s'inscrit dans un tissu de relations complexes, d'alliances, et de luttes très longues. Contrairement à ce que laisse croire l'histoire officielle, le mouvement ouvrier et le mouvement paysan ont joué un rôle actif dans cette longue «querelle.» Quoique prenant part dans cette lutte, ces mouvements ont aussi été très divisés. Alors que le Congrès des métiers et du travail du Canada (CMTC) appuie la fréquentation scolaire obligatoire, la Confédération des travailleurs catholiques du Canada (CTCC), et l'Union Catholique des cultivateurs (UCC) s'y opposent durement. L'influence que l'Église Catholique exerce sur la CTCC et l'UCC explique en partie le refus catégorique de ces deux organisations, mais sans plus. La composition des membres de chacune, les secteurs d'implantation de celles-ci, le type d'agriculture dominant au Québec et les coûts liés à l'éducation ont joué un rôle déterminant dans les positions des organisations étudiées.

Education for a New International Labour Solidarity: Case Study of the CUSO-OXFAM Labour Project - Hesch, Richard Allan (University of Saskatchewan, 1986)
The thesis identifies the ways in Which the CUSO-OXFAM Labour Project (COLP) has worked to strengthen international labour solidarity in Saskatchewan. COLP is a development education project mandated to work primarily With the working-class in Saskatchewan. COLP's ideology contrasts with that of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) leadership as manifested in the international labour solidarity movement by developing class-consciousness rather than economism, pluralism, and social democracy. In contrast to existing practice, COLP has taken its internationalist educational programs directly to rank-and-file trade unionists rather than circulating its information amongst the union leadership alone. COLP's curriculum falls within the tradition of progressive labour education programs in the Western English-speaking world and is demarcated from the ideology of standard labour education programs in Canada, the United states, and Great Britain. Standard labour education programs today are characterized by their reproduction of pluralism and economism, and are organized according to an intellectually fragmenting and skills-based curricular ideology. Alternative and progressive labour education programs have enjoyed the support of radical or progressive trade unions, but have been opposed or consciously ignored by dominant labour centrals. COLP shares these characteristics. The Saskatchewan Labour Information Project (SLIP) provided a precedent for class-conscious development education with workers when it was organized in 1976. After SLIP's demise, its ideology was carried into the formation Of COLP in 1980. COLP's steering committee and coordinator work closely together to develop a policy and practice which advances international labour solidarity in Saskatchewan. COLP receives support from unions in the forefront of the class struggle in this province, but is not endorsed by the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour or the CLC. Dependence on state funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) may have limited COLP's ability to articulate an alternative ideology for the international solidarity movement to that of the CLC. COLP aims to educate for a class-conscious international labour solidarity movement in Saskatchewan. To this end, the project's curriculum design is consistent with both radical development education theory and a dialectical materialist theory of education. Curriculum has been implemented in a dialectical fashion as well, although limitations imposed by COLP's trade union context have prevented a fully successful implementation. The ideology transmitted through the project's curriculum content contrasts 'With that of standard labour education programs by promoting class-consciousness in its fullest sense. Tours to Nicaragua organized by COLP have been particularly significant in this regard. The advancement of internationalist class-consciousness in Canadian labour education comes at a time of crisis for the North American labour movement and presents a necessary alternative to the social democratic ideology which dominates Western labour internationalism.

Technological Change and Mining Labour: Copper Mining and Milling Operations at the Britannia Mines, British Columbia, 1898-1937 - Hovis, Logan W. (University of British Columbia, 1986)
Most recent studies of the relationship between technological change and mining labour in the western metal-mining regions of North America have concentrated on the impact of the mechanization of the industry that took place during the second half of the nineteenth century. The distinct impression is left that the increased use of machinery — especially the machine drill — was the chief factor in reducing the skill levels associated with mining as a craft tradition. Preoccupation with machinery has led to the assumption that by the beginning of the twentieth century the transformation to modern forms of mining was essentially complete and the traditional miner an anachronism. Mining as practiced prior to 1900 differed qualitatively and quantitatively from the subsequent period of "modern mining;" but the introduction of machinery per se was less important to the reorganization of the patterns of work in the mines than the redesigning of the engineering systems in which workers and machines were employed — a process which gained its full momentum in the decades after 1900. This transformation involved the gradual abandonment of low-volume, high-value, selective mining methods in favour of higher volume, non-selective methods which emphasised the quantity rather than the quality of the ore mined. The change redefined the nature of work in and around the mines, putting an end to a tradition of mining practice that was at least as old as the methods described in Agricola's De Re Metalica, something the initial mechanization of mining had never been intended to accomplish. Under selective mining practices, machinery was used to assist the skilled miner in his traditional task. Under non-selective or mass mining techniques, a new generation of engineers trained in the applied sciences redefined the miner's work as solutions were sought to the problems of an increasingly complex geology in a climate of rapid economic expansion, chronic over-production, generally declining metal prices, and ever increasing production costs. The efforts and successes of these engineers were amply demonstrated in the fields of mining, metallurgical, and human engineering. The impact of the change is evident in varying degrees throughout the metal-mining community; but by focusing on copper mining — the technological leader from 1900 to 1930 — the full impact of the industrial sciences on mine labour is evident.

Correlates of Informal Grievance Resolution Among Fist-Line Supervisors - Knight, Thomas R. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
A study examined the effect on grievance resolution of differences in supervisors' training and degree of experience. The study also looked at the variances in the grievance process interaction between supervisors and union representatives and other management. Eight workplace-level case studies were examined. A total of 181 first-line supervisors completed questionnaires. In addition, interviews were conducted with the industrial relations staff at each location. Results indicated that much of the variance in the rate of informal grievance resolution among first-line supervisors is traceable to differences in individual supervisors' experience and behavior in the grievance process. The most powerful influence on grievance resolution was the degree to which informal consultation occurred between supervisors and union representatives before the grievance transactions concluded.

Inside Postal Workers: The Labour Process, State Policy, and the Workers' Response - Laidlaw, Blair; Curtis, Bruce (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Declining real wages and pressure to increase productivity pushed Canadian postal workers to a national wildcat strike in 1965. After this achievement they began a series of day-to-day battles to extend their shopfloor power. Reacting to this, postal management embarked on a mechanization project to transform the labour process. New federal labour laws were enacted which stifled the expression of workers' power through their union. The national union officials proved unable to break out of these bureaucratic structures that cut them off from the rank and file. An abrupt national wildcat/sitdown strike in 1974 resulted in a change in the national union leadership. Solid victories were won dealing with the transition to new mechanized plants. However, management began a counterattack aimed a weakening worker solidarity by hiring non-union workers and refusal to honour the collective agreement. The stage is then set for a series of local wildcats in the late 1970s, the Toronto strike of December 1977, and the national strike in 1978. The postal workers' past and present is summed up with a view to future struggles.

Communists and Auto Workers: The Struggle for Industrial Unionism in the Canadian Automobile Industry, 1925-36 - Manley, John (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
During the 1920s and early 1930s the struggle for industrial unionism in the Canadian auto industry was predominantly organized and led by Communist Party members. They, however, had little success with workers whose enjoyment of unusually high industrial wages was tempered by the knowledge that they themselves were almost as replaceable and interchangeable as the parts they assembled. An upswing of industrial militancy in the 1928-9 boom suggested that "Fordism" was not immutable, but any possibility of establishing a "red" auto union disappeared with the arrival of the Depression. Nevertheless, during the grimmest crisis years, Communists kept the idea of industrial unionism alive, and in semi-clandestine conditions built a network of union activists. The formation of the CIO and UAW gave this group the opportunity to turn their aspirations into reality.

Keeping Women in Their Place: The Minimum Wage in Canada, 1910-25 - McCallum, Margaret E. (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Labour unrest and demands for social reform during and immediately after World War I prompted most provincial governments in Canada to enact limited minimum wage statutes, aplicable only to female wage-earners in specified industries. Minimum wage boards issued separate wage orders for each industry, after consultation with representative employers and employees. The standard for the minimum wage was decent subsistence for a single woman with no dependants and no need to save for sickness, layoffs, or old age. The Ontario Minimum Wage Board, established in 1920, insisted that if a minimum wage was a real minimum, employers did not object to paying it, or to cooperating with the board. To insure employer cooperation, the board provided employers with ample opportunity to present their views, but generally accepted employers' views over those of labour. Minimum wage statutes were justified not on the basis of a wage-earner's right to a fair wage, but on women's special needs as the mothers of the future generation; the Ontario Minimum Wage Board expressed a similar attitude towards women in its administration of the Ontario Act.

Class Conflict and Political Factionalism: A History of Local 213 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, 1901-1961 - McDonald, Ian (Simon Fraser University, 1986)
British Columbia's economy is heavily reliant on electrical processes, yet little is known of the electrical workers.... A major purpose of this thesis is to analyze the electrical workers through a sixty-year history of an important and often controversial union: Local 213 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). ...Three themes characterize the history of Local 213: the first is the union's struggle for better wages and better working conditions against recalcitrant employers. The second is the relationship between Local 213 and different varieties fo socialism in British Columbia. Electrical workers generally supported cautious social democratic practices, but there have been important exceptions. The third theme is the intervention of outside forces, in particular the international office of IBEW, whenever the electrical workers appeared to support either radical leaders or radical proposals.... From author's abstract. Contents: The structure of the electrical industry in British Columbia to 1961 – Boomers, grunts and narrowbacks: the radical tradition, 1901-1919 – The defeat of radicalism, 1919-1922 – The Morrison years, 1922-1939 – Radicalism renewed, 1939-1953 – Unholy alliance, 1953-1955 – Towards militancy at Lenkurt.

"By Wisdom, Wile or War:" The Provincial Workmen's Association and the Struggle for Working-Class Independence in Nova Scotia, 1879-97 - McKay, Ian (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Although the provincial Workmen's Association, founded in Springhill, Nova Scotia, in 1879, represented the greatest achievement of maritime workers in the nineteenth century, historians, guided by the records and recollections left by Robert Drummond and the union's demise in the massive strikes of 1909-11, have generally considered it as a highly conservative union, wedded to a conciliatory approach to management and reluctant to use the strike weapon. This article suggests, in contrast, that the PWA was never personified by Drummond and that the union was a remarkably decentralized body. Until 1885 it was a loose federation of craft lodges; from 1886 to 1890 it was a slightly more unified quasi-independent political and industrial movement; and from 1891 to 1897 it was a movement split between highly militant mainland lodges and more accommodating lodges in Cape Breton. This diversity within the union not only meant that highly militant and relatively quiescent lodges coexisted within it, but that there were equally striking ideological tensions, within both the "official philosophy" of the union as enunciated by Drummond, and within the "vernacular philosophy" of the rank and file. An overemphasis on Drummond's vision of "class harmony" has led historians to slight his zeal for radical democratic change and working-class independence; a corresponding preoccupation with the sources composed by Drummond — virtually all the sources usually cited in studies of the union — has obscured the less articulate, less developed, and far more important "vernacular" outlook of the rank-and-file miners, who fought tenaciously and even violently for working-class independence. Moreover, static appraisals of these tendencies at both the upper and lower levels of the union miss crucial shifts within them over time: a shift from a heavily-qualified paternalism to an explicitly political critique of industrial and political autocracy in the mid-1880s, and a shift to a drastic polarization between progressive militants and Liberal Party traditionalists in the mid-1890s. Except for the period 1895-7, in which the leadership was coopted by the Liberal Party, the PWA on both its upper and lower levels was serious about its pursuit of working-class political independence, and its lobbying achieved a record of political and social reforms unparalleled in nineteenth-century Canada. As a participant in some of Canada's largest nineteenth-century labour wars, and as an important force for the winning of working-class political rights, the PWA deserves to be remembered as one of the most successful and militant social movements in the maritime provinces.

The Realm of Uncertainty: The Experience of Work in the Cumberland Coal Mines, 1873-1927 - McKay, Ian (Acadiensis, 1986)
...This article explores the mentality of the coal miners in the two distinct coalfields of Cumberland county from 1873 to 1927, the period in which they flourished within industrial capitalism. ...[It] does not attempt a full description of the intricate social history of these coalfields, nor to analyze their remarkable legacies of labour activism and workers' control. It focuses, instead, on the coal miners' underlying outlook. It seeks first to establish the basic structures of coal mining and suggest the strategic implications of these structures for coal miners. It then documents the emergence of a distinctive mining outlook, first by looking at the theme of the collective traditions of pit boys, and then by analyzing the outlook of independence of the colliers. It finally explores the ramifications of this mining outlook for society, taking as its theme the impact of pit deaths on the community. Its focus is on the "elementary forms of mining life", and this emphasis may allow us to come away from the study of one small group of coal miners with new questions for regional coal-mining history. –From author's introduction

The Montreal Garment Industry, 1871-1901 - Payette-Daoust, Michelle (McGill University, 1986)
The firat half of the nineteenth century witnessed the graduaI integration of Montreal garment production into the developing exchange economy, which resulted in the dismantling of the traditional artisanal organization of production and ushered in production for both retail and wholesale distribution,so that by 1860 a fledgling ready-made garment industry existed in the city. Between 1871 and 1901, the garment industry was the largest employer in the city, and one of the most important industries in terms of the of the value of' its production. Furthermore, Montreal held the position of Canadian garment capital throughout our period. Focussed primarily on the manufacture of men's wear, the garment industry in Montreal was heavily dominated by the largest wholesale manufacturers, who specialized in the production of low-priced, cheap quality garments which were aimed essentially at the rural labouring population and at shantymen of every province. The success of the city's ready-made garment producers can be explained both by tremendous expansion of the market for their goods, which occured in the second half of the nineteenth century, and by their ability to exploit a vast reserve of of essentially rural, semi-skilled labour. This situation of labour abundance made possible the organization of labour known as contracting or putting out, which remained the dominant mode of organization well into the twentieth century, and created dismal working conditions of long hours at extremely low wages for which the industry will always be remembered.

"More News from Nowhere:" Utopian Notes of a Hamilton Machinist - Peterson, Jim (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Presents a case study of shop floor training based on the author's experience as a trainee machinist working in large, unionized machine shops in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1977. Argues that workplace conflict and a lack of support undermines training. Analyzes the antagonisms that arise from formal and informal knowledge and social hierarchies, incentive regimes, game behaviour, and the interplay of methods, quality control, and production times in a for-profit corporation. Also discusses the history of scientific management, its preoccupation with best solutions and deskilling, and contracting out rather than in-house training of specialist skills. Concludes that while self-managed workers' control would integrate production, learning, and managing, the other, more likely, outcome will be the automated factory that further suppresses workforce knowledge and reduces general skill.

Brief Encounters: Italian Immigrant Workers and the CPR 1900-30 - Ramirez, Bruno (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
From 1900 to 1930, thousands of Italian immigrants found employment in the CPR work sites throughout the Montreal metropolitan area. After analyzing the most significant socio-economic traits of that labour force, the article investigates some of the major patterns of that employment experience in the context of Montreal's evolving labour market, as well as in relationship with the Italian immigration in Montreal. The study brings out the unstable and volatile relationship of most Italian workers with the CPR — a result of both the workers' own strategy in the urban labour market, and the extremely limited possibilities for occupational advancement the company offered.

Shovelling Out the "Mutinous:" Political Deportation from Canada Before 1936 - Roberts, Barbara (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Deportation helped to relieve employers, municipalities, and the state from the burdens of poverty, unemployment, and political unrest, by getting rid of workers when they became useless, surplus, or obstreperous. But this is only half of the equation: apparently straightforward economic imperatives were also profoundly political. Agitators and radicals challenged a social and economic order (and a political system) that immigration policy served. Radicals were designated as undesirable not so much by legislation as by employer blacklists and complaints, the surveillance networks of the industrial and Dominion police, the militia, the RCMP, and United States intelligence, and a certain anti-labour tradition in immigration policy. Deportation preserved the status quo. Immigration officials at times lied to conceal their activities; they broke their own laws, and consistently abused their power, operating virtually outside the knowledge and control of Parliament, the courts, and the general public.

Working on the Margins: A Labour History of the Native Peoples of Northern Labrador - Ross, Philip D. (McGill University, 1986)
This study is an analysis of the changes in the social formations of the Inuit and Innut populations of northern Labrador as a consequence of interaction with Western capital, from approximately 1500 to the present. It is concluded that the significant changes which have taken place can only be explained'if they . are placed within a unified theoretical framework that combines both macro and micro levels of analysis. This requirement stems from the impact of the global nature of capital, and from the specific characteristics of the indigenous social formations in northern Labrador. To facilitate the analysis, the history of the penetration of capital into northern Labrador has been divided ioto political-economic periods: mercantile: 1500-1926, and welfare state: 1926-present. The former is further subdivided into two phases: the competitive phase: 1500-1763, during which no one European power held sway; and the monopoly phase, 1763-1926, during which either Britain or one of its colonies was jurally the sole European authority. Finally, the welfare period, 1916-present, which includes a transitional period, 1926-1942, is characterized by the increasing importance of wage labour and state agencies. Each of these periods is examined in terms of the internal and external relations between and amongst the European and native social formations which led to mutual modifications.

Bankers' Hours: Life Behind the Wicket at the Banque d' Hochelaga, 1901-21 - Rudin, Ronald (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
The first decades of the twentieth century saw some significant changes in the nature of office work. Large numbers of employees were added to the payroll, jobs were broken down into their component parts, and women were brought in to fill the lowest positions. Relatively little attention has been paid, however, as to how the introduction of these changes varied from industry to industry or from region to region. This study of the conditions of employment at the Banque d'Hochelaga indicates that bank workers, unlike other white-collar employees, were faced with the instability that came from being regularly moved from branch to branch, In other regards, the working conditions faced by the employees of the Hochelaga differed from those for the industry as a whole because of the recruitment of the Hochelaga's work force from a French-speaking labour market.

Canadian National Union Presidents: An Empirical Study - Solomon, Norman S.; Andiappan, Palaniappan; Shand, Dan (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
A study was conducted to examine personal and organizational factors that affect the rise to office of presidents of Canadian national unions. A model was developed based on the personal characteristics of the labor leaders and on the characteristics of the unions they headed. Completed questionnaires were received from 94 presidents of national unions. Results indicated that union size varied positively with ''time to become presidents.'' Thus, chief executives of large unions took 3.9 years longer to reach the top office than did chief executives of small unions. Also, education varied inversely with ''time to become president.'' An officer with a university degree took 5 years less to reach the presidency than someone with no formal education. Finally, ''percent of income from union office'' varied positively with ''time to become president.'' For example, when the union pays 100% of the salary, it takes about 3 1/2 years longer to reach the top office than when the union pays none of the salary.
