The Miners and the Mediator: The 1906 Lethbridge Strike and Mackenzie King - Baker, William M. (Labour / Le Travail, 1983)
The attitude of United Mine Workers of America representatives towards Mackenzie King at the beginning of his mediation of the Lethbridge coal-miners' strike of 1906 was negative. At the end their opinion of him was positive. A detailed examination of the mediation process reveals that this changed outlook was a consequence of the fact that King's intervention had resulted in important gains for the strikers. These improvements had been facilitated by King but since his goal was to end the strike, specific conditions of work for Lethbridge miners were, in his mind, a means to an end rather than the end itself. Thus, in a real sense union representatives had won these gains through their tenacious and reasonably skillful "negotiations" with King himself. In short, on the whole the interplay between the mediator and union spokesmen was beneficial for Lethbridge miners.

The Indian, the Métis and the fur trade class, sexism and racism in the transition from “Communism” to Capitalism - Bourgeault, Ron G. (Studies in Political Economy, 1983)
The object of this paper is to argue that the fur trade of the Hudson Bay basin, in what is now northern Canada, initially transformed Indian labour into that of a peasantry caught in the web of feudal relations of production. The paper will also show the nature of Indian women's subjugation, a subjugation undertaken to establish the fur trade. Class, racial and sexist divisions came to be imposed upon the indigenous Indian population through colonial relations based upon a particular form of exploitation. –From author's introduction.

The Lockeport Lockout: An Untold Story in Nova Scotia's Labour History - Calhoun, Sue ([Published independently with a grant from Oxfam Canada, Atlantic region], 1983)
In the fall of 1939, more than 600 fishermen and fish handlers in the tiny town of Lockeport, Nova Scotia (pop. 1,400) walked the picket line in front of the town's only employers, Swim Brothers and the Lockeport Company. Both fishplants had locked their doors rather than recognize the Canadian Fishermen's Union as the official bargaining agent. The Fishermen's Union was an affiliate of the Canadian Seamen's Union, which had begun organizing along the shore. For eight weeks, as autumn turned to winter, the men, with their wives and families, held firm. It was a bread-and-butter struggle that made national headlines - one of the first attempts by Nova Scotia fishermen and fish handlers to win union recognition. It was one of the first major tests of N.S. Trade Union Act passed in 1937. This is the story of the Lockeport lockout of 1939. –Introduction

Economy and Society During the French Regime, to 1759 - Cross, Michael S.; Kealey, Gregory S. (McClelland and Stewart, 1983)
...As an introduction to the birth and growth of society in New France, the scholarly articles contained in the volume draw from the translated writings of Marcel Trudel and Fernand Ouellet, two of French Canada's leading historians. As well, contributions from Bruce Trigger and Calvin Martin look at the impact of European society on the culture of Native peoples. Together with articles on land use and labour, this informative volume offers a discerning view of the earliest of French Canada - the life of the habitant, the raucous beginning of the first craft brotherhoods, the movement toward a new social order which early European inhabitants took to with a "missionary zeal." By exploring the social roots of modern day Quebec [the book] sheds new light on our understanding of French Canada. –Publisher's description

[This book] is the fourth of a five-volume series of readers designed to present an overview of Canada's social history, encompassing such topics as economic development, social structure, politics, religion, work and workers, and the changing role of women.

Articles such as Donald Avery's account of labour exploitation in the hiring of "foreign" navvies to build railroads in Western Canada and Don Macgillivray's analysis of state intervention and the use of troops in strikes among Cape Breton miners and steel workers in the 1920s highlight the issues and controversies which makes this one of the most telling chapters of Canada's social history. –Publisher's description

Early Industrialization and Inequality in Toronto, 1861-1899 - Darroch, A. Gordon (Labour / Le Travail, 1983)
Using samples of available assessment roll data for Toronto, this article maps patterns of inequality, by decades, over the years of early industrialization, 1861 -1899. The limits of these data and the many legal exclusions are reviewed; it is argued that assessed values best represent differences in everyday living conditions, rather than in wealth, property or income. Several ways of examining the extent of inequality are considered. As expected, inequality among households was pronounced, although several measures revealed an intriguing pattern of initial increase in inequality, 1861-1871, and subsequent, modest decline to the end of the century. An attempt to account for the pattern in terms of the aging of the city population turned up only very limited effects. Some implications of the patterns are considered for the analysis of class and household economies.

Partners in Furs: A History of the Fur Trade in Eastern James Bay, 1600-1870 - Francis, Daniel; Morantz, Toby (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1983)
In this innovative study the authors investigate the effects of the fur trade on the social patterns of the Algonquian peoples living in the Eastern James Bay region from 1600 to 1870. Of central concern are the problem areas of winter hunting arrangements, land tenure system, and patterns of leadership; but historical setting, ecological factors, and the relations of the Algonquians to other groups are also discussed. The patterns and course of contact between traders from Europe and the Indian populations are described and both English and French sources are used to reveal the competition between the two groups of traders and its impact on the native people. As the Hudson's Bay Company was the one permanent European presence during the period, this ethnohistorical study makes extensive use of unpublished HBC papers. The authors also examine such issues as the rise of a homeguard population at the trading posts, the trading captain system, the development of hamily hunting territories, and the issue of dependence and interdependence. Partners in Furs provides new insight and makes a significant contribution to current scholarly inquiry into the impact of the fur trade on the native populations. –Publisher's description

Times of Trouble: Labour Quiescence in Winnipeg, 1920-1929 - Hall, David E. (University of Manitoba, 1983)
This thesis originated in my curiosity over the last decade or more, as to the fate of the "golden age" of labour radicalism in Winnipeg after the First World War. As a radical and trade unionist I wanted to understand why this radicalism declined so drastically over the half century to the leve1s it existed in the city's unions in 1969 when I first got involved in the labour movement. The logical place to start looking for answers was the decade following the general strike and preceding the depression of the thirties. In researching and writing this thesis I have found some answers, although they have seldom been simple, about the effects of the twenties on union radicalism. The task has been made more difficult and at the same time more stimulating by the almost total lack of work by labour historians on the twenties. To the extent that the period has been dealt with at all it was as a prelude to the great depression and the rise of the C.I.O. in Canada, or as a postscript to work on labour and radicalism before and during the post war upsurge and in Winnipeg, the general strike...

Décisions rendues par le Conseil canadien des relations du travail - Lavery, Daniel (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1983)
Le Conseil fut saisi d'un conflit de distribution du travail entre syndicats rivaux engendré par l'absence de quelque mention relative à la fonction disputée dans leurs certificats d'accréditation ou conventions collectives alors que ladite fonction existait au moment de leur accréditation respective. Le Conseil a expliqué le fondement de sa juridiction en vertu des articles 158(1) et 119 du Code pour trancher de tels litiges. Il a rappelé, par ailleurs, sa politique habituelle quant au caractère approprié de l'unité et l'objectif des votes de représentation lors du dépôt, par un syndicat maraudeur, d'une requête en accréditation visant à représenter une unité dont la délimitation épouse fidèlement celle pour laquelle le syndicat en place a déjà été accrédité. Enfin, en étudiant la nature de la fonction litigieuse tel qu 'elle a évolué depuis sa création jusqu'au moment de l'audition de la présente affaire, le Conseil a déterminé que la convention collective du syndicat requérant ne s'appliquait pas à la fonction litigieuse sauf quant à certains aspects de ce travail.

Décisions rendues par le Conseil canadien des relations du travail - Lavery, Daniel (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1983)
Le Conseil canadien des relations du travail a rendu une décision dans laquelle il a étudié la légalité de certaines clauses des protocols de retour au travail, le statut des substituts engages et promus durant la grève ainsi que la doctrine de la conversion d'une grève économique en une grève dite de pratiques déloyales. Au terme de cette decision il a déclaré l'employeur «coupable» d'avoir commis un certain nombre de pratiques déloyales et a ordonné, en conséquence, que les employés grévistes soient réintégrés, une fois la grève terminée, dans leurs fonctions antérieures ou à des postes substantiellement équivalent meme si pour cela, les substituts engagés durant la grève devaient être déplacés, transférés, retrogrades ou tout simplement congédiés par l'employeur de façon à faire place aux grévistes. Selon l'approche adoptee par le Conseil, le statut des substituts originant de l'extérieur de l'unité engages en période de grève ne saurait être que temporaire et n 'est susceptible de se transformer et de devenir permanent que lors de la survenance de certains événements. L'octroi de la permanence par l'employeur avant que ces événements ne soient survenus constitue en soi une pratique déloyale ayant pour effet de convertir la grève en une grève dite de pratiques déloyales de travail et, partant, de conférer un droit absolu à la reintegration aux grévistes dont les postes ont été comblés subséquemment à la conversion.

"Remember Kirkland Lake": The History and Effects of the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners' Strike, 1941-42 - MacDowell, Laurel Sefton (University of Toronto Press, 1983)
On 18 November 1941, the gold miners of Kirkland lake struck for union recognition. The Kirkland Lake strike was a bitter struggle between the mine operators and their employees and became a national confrontation between the federal government and the labour movement over the issue of collective bargaining. Locally, the dispute was affected by the company-town environment and by the mine operators' paternalistic view of labour relations. Through the difficult winter womenths, the community – polarized by the events – tried to deal with both the 'political' and social impact of the conflict. The author's father, Larry Sefton, emerged as one of the local leaders of the strike, which itself was a training ground for many future trade unionists. The strike was waged in the special circumstances of the war economy, and was a microcosm of wartime developments, which produced unprecedented union growth, serious industrial unrest, hostile management response, and generally antagonistic labour/government relations. Professor MacDowell shows that, even though the strike was lost, its eventual effect on labour policy gave the dispute its particular significance. To win the strike, government intervention and the introduction of collective bargaining were necessary, yet the only intervention was by the Ontario Provincial Police, who were ordered to assist the mining companies to operate with strike-breakers. The federal government refused to intervene, in spire of virtually unanimous support for the strike by the Canadian labour movement. MacDowell confludes that the strike succeeded in unifying organized labour behind the demand for collective-bargaining legislation. It highlighted the inadequacy of the government's wartime labour poilcy, and ultimately forced the government to authorize collective bargaining, first for Crown companies and then for all industrial workers. Thus, the Kirkland Lake strike was not only an important wartime dispute affecting policy development, but it also established a special legacy for trade unionists as part of the history of their movement. –Publisher's description

Unequal Beginnings: Agriculture and Economic Development in Quebec and Ontario until 1870 - McCallum, John (University of Toronto Press, 1983)
By the time of Confederation Ontario's economic lead over Quebec had been well established. John McCallum shows that the origins of this lead had little to do with the conservatism of the habitants and the church in Quebec, little to do with any anti-industrial bias of the Montreal merchants, and nothing to do with Confederation. Rather the origins lay in the wealth provided by Ontario's superior agricultural land.During much of the first part of the nineteenth century Ontario farmers were more specialized in wheat-growing than the twentieth-century farmers of Saskatchewan, and when the market conditions changed in the 1860s the province was able to use the capital derived from wheat to shift to other lines of production. The Quebec farmers, lacking both the virgin land of Ontario and the growing markets of the northeastern United States, were unable to find profitable substitutes for wheat. As a result, the cash income of the average Ontario farmer was at least triple that of his Quebec counterparts in the years before Confederation, and this enormous difference had profound effects on economic development in other sectors of the economy.In Ontario the growth of towns, transportation facilities, and industry was inextricably linked to the province's strong agricultural base. In Quebec little development occurred outside Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal industrialists did have several advantages; yet Quebec industry could not possibly absorb the province's surplus farm population. Ontario's wheat boom provided the capital which permitted Ontario industry to evolve in the classic fashion; indeed, Ontario wheat may be a rare instance of a staple whose surplus was retained in the producing area.John McCallum's analytical and historical account of economic patterns that persist today makes a solid and original contribution to Canadian economic history. –Publisher's description.

Strikes in the Maritimes, 1901-1914 - McKay, Ian (Acadiensis, 1983)
Recent studies have illustrated the strength and significance of working-class movements in the Maritimes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other work has emphasized the organization of local and international unions and the emergence of the socialist movement in the region. A study of strikes in the Maritimes can help provide a regional context for such work, and also help correct the regional imbalance in national historiography. Strikes themselves were crucial events, and no historical interpretation of the region in this period can safely overlook them. By studying the vigorous response of the region's workers to the new political economy of the early 20th century, we can start to understand the human implications of economic change. For these reasons, it is worth our effort to describe and analyze the general pattern of strikes, often in quantitative terms. This general pattern can then be related to the region's economic structure and help broaden our understanding of the economic revolution which transformed the region from the 1880s to the 1920s. In particular, two major themes emerge from this analysis: the transformation of the labour market and the revolution in the workplace. –From author's introduction

The Company Store: James Bryson McLachlan and the Cape Breton Coal Miners, 1900-1925 - Mellor, John (Doubleday Canada, 1983)
The devastating story of the Cape Breton miners and the strikes they launched against the companies that owned their homes, their possessions, and their churches. Never before has the human drama of North America's last existing feudal system been written down for the general reader. Canadians - and the rest of the world - will shocked by the stories of police brutality and murder, mass demonstrations, rebellions, scandalouos politicking, and most of all, desperate poverty and hunger. The miners had always been paid starvation wages by companies that held total monopolies of such towns as Glace Bay. The first time they launched a strike in 1905, soldiers were brought in and machine guns and barbed wire were set up around the mining communities. Credit was cut off from company stores (the only stores). Miners were evicted from company-owned houses (the only houses) in the middle of winter. The death toll was enormous. Strikes over the next fifteen years simply led to continued harassment and eviction. At one time, the company was permitted, by government order, to employ hundreds of special police, mounted on horseback and supplied with guns and heavy sticks, to batter miners into submission. James Bryson McLachlan was the hero of the Cape Bretoners when he took up their cause and organized the strikers and entered into negotiations with the companies. This book is also his story - and the story of the beginning of the labour movement for all of Canada. –Publisher's description

Working-Class Experience: The Rise and Reconstitution of Canadian Labour, 1800-1980 - Palmer, Bryan D. (Butterworth, 1983)
Working Class Experience is a sweeping and sympathetic study of the development of the Canadian working class since 1800. Beginning with a substantial and provocative introduction that discusses the historiography of the Canadian working class, the book goes on to establish a general framework for analysis of what ultimately is a social history of Canada. Dividing the years into seven periods in the evolution of class struggle, it beings each chapter with an assessment of that period's prevailing economic and social context, followed by an examination of the many factors affecting the working class during that period. Written in a colourful and sometimes irreverent style, Working Class Experience focuses on the processes by which working people moved, and were moved, off the land and into the factories and other workplaces during the Industrial and post-Industrial Revolutions in Canada. Drawing on much recent work on contemporary capitalism, Working Class Experience offers a significant explanation of the malaise in current labour and management relations and speculates on its significance for progressive change in Canadian Life. –Description at Goodreads

Women and Work: Inequality in the Labour Market - Phillips, Paul Arthur; Phillips, Erin (Lorimer, 1983)
Why are women still second class citizens at work? Recent years have seen demands by the women's movement for equality in the workplace, and "affirmative action" programs have been set up to achieve this goal. Yet little has really changed. Women still earn less than men, are underrepresented in unions, have less protection in pension plans, and are usually stuck in jobs with little chance of advancement. To understand women's inequality at work, Paul and Erin Phillips trace women's involvement in the paid labour market, and in labour unions, throughout Canadian history. They document the disadvantages that women face today and examine the explanations for the existence of these problems. –Publisher's description

Mining Photographs and Other Pictures, 1948-1968: A Selection from the Negative Archives of Shedden Studio, Glace Bay, Cape Breton - Shedden, Leslie (Press of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, 1983)
With essays by Donald Macgillivary and Allan Sekula and editing by Benjamin Buchloh and Robert Wilkie, this volume published a major selection from the photographic archives of Leslie Shedden, a local photographer active from the 1940s to the 1960s in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. Besides his daily and common functions as a community photographer (portraits, advertising, work and school events, architecture), Leslie Shedden continuously worked on documentation of the working conditions in the coal and iron mines of Cape Breton. The photographic documentation was commissioned by the local coal mining corporation, which gave him access to the underground mines as well as to all other work areas. All major aspects of the mining activities, the conditions of manual labour, and the gradual transformation to mechanized mining are recorded in systematic and detailed photographs. An equally detailed systematic body of photographs recording the family and community life of the miners complements the body of photographic images documenting the labour conditions in one of the oldest North American coal mining districts.

The United Brotherhood of Railway Employees in Western Canada, 1898-1905 - Tuck, J. Hugh (Labour / Le Travail, 1983)
This essay examines the rise and fall in the Canadian West of the United Brotherhood of Railway Employees (UBRE), an industrial union similar to the American Railway Union of the early 1890s. The UBRE entered Canada in 1902, but was unable to disrupt the complex network of craft union organizations which had sprung up in Canada in the preceding decade. It was, as a consequence, largely restricted to organizing previously unorganized clerks, freight handlers, and labourers. It fought a marginally successful strike on the Canadian Northern Railway in 1902, but was defeated by the CPR in 1903. This latter defeat, which had been engineered by the company with the aid and approval of the craft unions and the Canadian government, contributed directly to the rapid decline and ultimate demise of the UBRE. This ended the last major attempt to organize North American railway workers on industrial rather than craft lines.

Syndicalisation de la grève - Verge, Pierre (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1983)
Initialement affirmé en fonction des individus qui se coalisent, le droit de grève envisagé par le Code du travaildu Québec s'« acquiert » par l'association accréditée. L'auteur s'interroge sur les conséquences juridiques d'une telle dissociation du droit de grève des individus qui participent au mouvement collectif: limites de la liberté des salariés; responsabilité de l'instance syndicale à l'occasion des grèves illégales, de même que celle des grévistes eux-mêmes; enfin, la situation particulière des salariés qui ont assumé des charges au sein de l'association accréditée.

Poverty, Distress, and Disease: Labour and the Construction of the Rideau Canal, 1826-32 - Wylie, William N.T. (Labour / Le Travail, 1983)
The construction of The Rideau Canal was one of the first projects in Upper Canada to employ thousands of wage-earners. While this was a British military undertaking, the officers and the contractors they hired shared a common attitude to workers: they were viewed primarily as instruments of production required to facilitate the most economic completion of the project. Because of an unfavourable labour market, labourers were forced to endure difficult and often dangerous working and living conditions. The response of workers to these conditions was militant but sporadic. They tended to act against individual property owners and contractors in order to obtain the immediate necessities for survival. More concerted activity was discouraged in large part by the military which posted soldiers along the line of the canal to suppress dissent and ensure a cheap supply of labour.
