All the Atlantic Mountains Shook - Linebaugh, Peter (Labour / Le Travail, 1982)
Analyzes the intersection of African slavery, the English civil war and related political debates, the Black presence in England, the criminalization of poverty, and the migration of paupers overseas during the early modern period. Argues that the transmission and transformation of language, cultures, labour, and capital occurred while onboard ships of the Atlantic in addition to their ports of call in Africa, plantations in the West Indies and North America, and England. Based on a paper given at the World Turned Upside Down Conference at the Philadelphia Center for Early American Studies, November 1981.

Class, Job and Gender in the Canadian Office - Lowe, Graham S. (Labour / Le Travail, 1982)
This paper critically re-examines the clerical proletarianization thesis from the perspective of the feminization of the early-twentieth-century Canadian office. The paper argues that the segmentation of the office work force along gender lines explains many of the changes in wages and working conditions erroneously interpreted by the proletarianization thesis as signs of the clerks' declining class position. More specifically, the expansion and rationalization of the office during the "administrative revolution," roughly from 1900 to 1930, depressed clerical earnings through the recruitment of cheap female labour into new routine jobs. Male clerks, while not significantly better off economically than skilled manual workers, moved up into the expanding ranks of management. Even within the female clerical sector there is little evidence of sweeping work degradation, given considerable variation in work and market conditions across industries, within and among firms, and among clerical tasks.

The 1943 Steel Strike Against Wartime Wage Controls - MacDowell, Laurel Sefton (Labour / Le Travail, 1982)
Because of its potential for disruption of war production, the 1943 steel strike was among the most important wartime disputes. It directly challenged the government's wage control policy, prompted unprecedented state intervention, and finally resulted in a restructuring of the National War Labour Board. Union organizing and economic objectives were in direct conflict with government anti-inflation policy and a federal enquiry was unable to devise a solution. Eventually, Mackenzie King who was sympathetic to the strikers' position and sensitive to CCF growth, was able to arrange a settlement. Subsequently, the settlement was repudiated by the NWLB and union-government relations were further exacerbated.

Class Conflict and Civil Liberties: The Origins and Activities of the Canadian Labour Defense League, 1925-1940 - Petryshyn, J. (Labour / Le Travail, 1982)
This paper reconstructs the origins and activities of the Canadian Labour Defense League (CLDL) and assesses its role during a turbulent period in Canadian history. Led by Albert Edward Smith, a former Methodist minister, the CLDL rose to prominence during the worst years of the depression, promoting communist policies, agitating on behalf of the Communist Party of Canada and defending before the courts over 6,000 individuals who had ventured astray of the law because of their militant activities. The CLDL was especially effective after the arrest and conviction of Tim Buck and seven other communist leaders in 1931 under the controversial Section 98 of the Criminal Code. Skillfully intertwining communism with the defense of civil liberties in Canada, the CLDL launched a series of protest campaigns which not only brought to the organization a substantial following, but also had a significant impact on the political authorities in the nation.

"Good Hands, Stout Heart, and Fast Feet": The History and Culture of Working People in Early America - Rediker, Marcus (Labour / Le Travail, 1982)
This article examines some of the structural and cultural dimensions of capital-labour relations in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America. It situates the lives of labouring people within an expansive transatlantic economy and a labour-scarce colonial economy, a combination that created both a heavy dependence upon unfree labour and persistent struggles over the mobility of workers. The article explores the major types of labour in early America — hunting, craft, domestic, free wage, free farming, indentured servant, and slave — and argues that a general culture of labour was emerging from the converging experiences of working men and women. The conclusion suggests that the pervasive experience of unfree labour in early America is intertwined with America's long history of ferocious conflict at the point of production.

Les fortes poussées inflationnistes de la dernière decennia n'ont pas manqué de soulever un intérêt marquee chez plusieurs groupes sociaux, dont les travailleurs organisés, en faveur de l'indexation de leurs revenus. Quelles sont les caractéristiques principals du phénomène d'indexation des salaires au Canada? Quelle en est l'étendue? quels facteurs permettent d'en expliquer l'évolution dans le temps? quel est et comment mesurer le degré d'efficacité de tells clauses dans les conventions collectives? quels en sont les effets sur les structures de salaires, tant au niveau local que national, sur les coûts de production et sur l'inflation? Voilà parmi d'autres un certain nombre de questions qui préoccupent tant l'analyste que l'acteur immédiat du système de relations industrielles. Parmi les quelques etudes récentes sur le sujet au Canada, deux ont suscité des commentaires critiques particulièrement au niveau du concept d'efficacité des clauses d'indexation et de sa mesure. La première réalisée par Jean-Michel Cousineau et Robert Lacroix1 de l'Université de Montréal utilise des données inédites de Travail Canada sur l'ensemble des conventions de 200 employés et plus au Canada, à l'exclusion du secteur de la construction, et couvre la période1970 à 1977.

All the Wrong People: The Trial and Career of Labour Lawyer, J. L. Cohen - Estok, David Michael (Carleton University, 1982)
Jacob Lawrence Cohen was a prominent Canadian labour and civil rights lawyer in the 1930's and 1940's. Cohen was instrumental in negotiating a number of landmark labour disputes that helped pioneer legislation in Canada. He also defended a number of trade unionists, many of whom were Communist, imprisoned under the War Measures Act. His staunch defense of society's underdogs brought him a great deal of respect and notoriety. Cohen's career reflected many of the tensions of Canadian society in the period. The growth of industrial unionism, the development of progressive labour legislation and a growing fear of Communism, all touched him professionally and personally. His brilliant career ended abruptly in 1946 after his conviction of assault. His trial raises a number of questions about the judicial system. After a four year struggle in the courts, Cohen's law practice resumed in 1950 but he failed to regain his former prominence. He died in May 1950. J.L. Cohen had a great impact in developing and fighting for progressive labour laws to deal with the changing society of the 1930's and the 1940's. He was in the centre of a turbulent period in Canadian history as counsel in diverse and unpopular legal cases. Many of his struggles helped legitimize the aspirations of the labour movement and develop the legal and jurisdictional regulations that govern all trade unions today.

Trade Unions in Canada, 1812-1902 - Forsey, Eugene Alfred (University of Toronto Press, 1982)
We are apt to think of labour unions as a feature of a relatively advanced industrial society. It comes as a surprise to many to learn how long ago in Canadian history they actually appeared. Unions already existed in the predominantly rural British North America of the early nineteenth century. There were towns and cities with construction workers, foundry workers, tailors, shoemakers, and printers; there were employers and employees - and their interests were not the same. From this beginning Dr Forsey traces the evolutions of trade unions in the early years and presents an important archival foundation for the study of Canadian labour. He presents profiles of all unions of the period - craft, industrial, local, regional, national, and international - as well as of the Knights of Labor and the local and national central organizations. He provides a complete account of unions and organizations in every province including their formation and function, time and place of operation, what they did or attempted to do (including their political activity), and their particular philosophies. This volume will be of interest and value to those concerned with labour and union history, and those with a general interest in the history of Canada. –Publisher's description

1005: Political Life in a Union Local - Freeman, Bill (Lorimer, 1982)
Today the giant Stelco steel mills in Hamilton are shut down, but in Canada’s turbulent labour history it was a place of protracted conflict between the stubborn, anti-union management of the company and the equally stubborn and militant Local 1005 of the Steelworkers Union. The story is a fascinating one – a microcosm of the larger labour/management struggles in Canada. Among the events the book explores includes: the battle from 1919 to 1944 to establish a union in the face of hostile management; the struggle for supremacy at 1005 between Communist and CCF factions; the 1946 strike for union recognition which became the post war showdown in Canada between unions and management; and the chaotic 1966 wildcat strike that tore the union apart. The book tells the story of Local 1005 and at the same time explores the nature of political life in a local union, and the social and economic forces that shaped the politics of the local. This is a book that describes how working people struggled to improve their lives, and in the process changed the history of the trade union movement and the nature of Canadian political life. –Publisher's description

Hamilton Steelworkers and the Rise of Mass Production - Heron, Craig (Historical Papers / Communications historiques, 1982)
Industrial capitalism was established in Canada in two distinct phases, as was the case in other Western countries. The ‘first industrial revolution’ — as it has been called — began in Canada around 1850 and 1860 and flourished in the 1880s due to the National Policy that was in effect at the time. The ‘second industrial revolution’ began in the early 20th century and was the result of a much more sophisticated capitalist economy, which saw the emergence of new and complex technologies and means of production, as well as corporate giants in the steel, automotive, paper and chemical industries, to name but a few. Although this second phase of industrial capitalism had a significant impact on the working conditions of thousands of men and women in Canada, recent historiography, despite being abundant in the field of labour history, has largely ignored the phenomenon of mass production that characterised this second phase. The author retraces part of this history through a study of the steel industry in Hamilton, Ontario, one of the three major centres of this industry in Canada. He examines the rise of the Steel Company of Canada and its predecessors between 1895 and 1930, the transformations that took place in steelworking methods at the time, and the labour relations that developed within this corporation in its Hamilton. –Translation of website summary in the French language

McVicar, Kate - Kealey, Gregory S. (Dictionary of Canadian Biography, 1982)
McVICAR, KATE (Katie), shoe worker and union leader; b. c. 1856 at Hamilton, Canada West; d. there 18 June 1886. Katie McVicar, daughter of a poor Scottish tinsmith and his English-born wife, joined two older sisters in the Hamilton labour force in the early 1870s. Like most women who went into factory work in the late 19th century, she began as a single woman, living at home, in order to augment her family’s income. However, unlike most, she remained single and continued to live at home until her early death at the age of 30. Her comparative longevity as a factory operative accounts to some degree for her emergence as a prominent leader in the Knights of Labor. –Introduction

Dreaming of What Might Be: The Knights of Labor in Ontario, 1880-1900 - Kealey, Gregory S.; Palmer, Bryan D. (Cambridge University Press, 1982)
As Canada's most industrialised province, Ontario served as the regional centre of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, an organisation which embodied a late nineteenth-century working-class vision of an alternative to the developing industrial-capitalist society. The Order opposed the exploitation of labor, and cultivated working-class unity by providing an institutional and cultural rallying point for North American workers. By 1886 thousands of industrial workers had enrolled within the ranks of Ontario's local and district assemblies. This book examines the rise and fall of the Order, providing case studies of its experience in Toronto and Hamilton and chronicling its impact across the province. –Publisher's description

The State, Organised Labour, and Wage Controls in Canada - Kraft, Allan David (McMaster University, 1982)
The focus of this thesis is the Liberal government's program of mandatory wage and price controls introduced on October 14, 1975. Beginning with a brief discussion of the marxist theory of the state, the thesis examines prior experiences with wage restraint programs, the evolution of post-war industrial relations, and the emergence of symptoms of economic crisis toward the end of the 1960's. Thereafter it considers the progress of state efforts to introduce wage/ price restraint, the social forces which shaped the pattern of state intervention, the actual operations of the Anti-Inflation Board, and the character of organised labour's opposition to compulsory controls. The thesis argues that state intervention into the sphere of wage bargaining is one concrete example of the deeper contradictions which lie at the basis of the state structure. With the end of the long boom of post-war expansion, the underlying tendencies toward a crisis of capital accumulation became manifest. The deteriorating effectiveness of established techniques of economic management, and the failure of the Liberal government to develop a coherent program of capitalist planning set the immediate context for the program of wage and price controls. The objective of controls was to restrict the rate of wage increases, thereby easing the downward trend in profit levels and relaxing the fiscal crisis of the state. The record of the Anti-Inflation Board revealed two general characteristics of the current economic and social crisis. First, the capitalist state is virtually powerless to exercise any influence over the long term pattern of inflation and slump. At the present stage of capitalism, attempts to plan economic development simply exacerbate the inherent anarchy of capitalist production. Second, the weakness of organised labour's opposition to controls indicates the urgent necessity for a restructuring of the economic and political organisation of the working class in order to defend the economic and social gains of the postwar period.

The Eaton Drive: The Campaign to Organize Canada's Largest Department Store, 1948 to 1952 - Sufrin, Eileen (Fitzhenry & Whiteside, 1982)
The Eaton Drive is the story of one of the most intensive and sustained organizing campaigns in Canadian labour history. With 30,000 employees, post-war Eaton's was the country's third largest employer, surpassed only by railways and the federal government. Because its stores and mail order operations extended across Canada, Eaton's influenced retail wages nationwide. Eaton's Toronto operations, dispersed over a dozen work location and embracing 16,000 employees at peak season, presented a formidable challenge to Local 1000 of the Retail Wholesale and Department Store Union and the Canadian Congress of Labour. When it applied for certification in October 1950, the Ontario Labour Relations Board was faced with the largest and most complex bargaining unit ever to come before it. The labour movement considered the success of the Eaton Drive central to removing the threat of a large, lower-paid, constantly shifting work force to their wage standards and supported it with unprecedented generosity. Eileen Tallman Sufrin, who was one of the organizers, describes the campaign from the union viewpoint in the hope that the insight it provides will assist retail workers in organizing in the future. –Publisher's description

Ethnicity and Class Conflict at Maillardville/Fraser Mills: The Strike of 1931 - Williams, M. (Simon Fraser University, 1982)
During the Depression Canadian workers faced a series of assaults on their wages and working conditions. Threatened by shrinking markets, Canadian employers moved to reduce labour costs. When the Canadian Western Lumber Company at Fraser Mills, B.C., attempted to follow the pattern being set throughout the Canadian economy, the millworkers went out on strike. Lasting for two and half months, the labour protest by the millworkers and their families ended in success. The success of the 1931 strike stands in sharp contrat to the generally abysmal performance of organized labour during the thirties. The strength of this particular protest was derived from two totally unrelated factors. The strike was led by the militant Lumber Workers' Industrial Union, an affiliate of the Workers' Unity League. During the thirtiees the Workers' Unity League was one of the most dynamic labour organizations in Canada. The real strength of the protest, however, lay in features to the community. The worker community of Maillardville/Fraser Mills was remarkably stable and socially cohesive. This was largely due to the existence of a persistant, tightly organized community of French-Canadian workers. The workforce at Fraser Mills had a well-defined associational network which not only faciliated organization prior to the strike but also ensured its success once the strike was underway. This study of the Fraser Mills strike of 1931 analyzes the relationship between labour protest and the community from which it emerged.

The Rise and Fall of the Toronto Typographical Union, 1832-1972: A Case Study of Foreign Domination - Zerker, Sally F. (Sally Friedberg) (University of Toronto Press, 1982)
This case study traces the development of the union which began as the Toronto Typographical Society. Through a close examination of this Canadian local's relations with its eventual parent organization in the US, Zerker reveals the 'domination' and brings into question the advantages of an international connection. A meeting of twenty-four journeymen printers at the York Hotel in Toronto in 1832 marked the birth of Canada’s earliest and still continuing labour organization. This case study of the printers of Toronto traces the development of the union which began as the Toronto Typographical Society. Through a close examination of this Canadian local’s relations with its eventual parent organization in the US, Zerker reveals the ‘domination’ and brings into question the advantages of an international connection. In 1866, under pressure from the American federation of printing unions, the Toronto body became an affiliate of the International Typographical Union, thus forming the crucial relationship which, as Zerker shows, came to govern every element of local decision and policy. Though the TTU achieved a pioneer victory in independently leading its members in their struggle for a shorter working day, from 1885 on the ITU directives and programs came to rule the Toronto union, causing enormous losses in membership and industry control. Zerker cites as examples the ITU program in the 1920s which resulted in a bitter strike which broke the Toronto union’s control of the labour force in the commercial sector; and, more recently, its misdirection of the printers’ strike of the Toronto newspapers in the 1960s which resulted in the expulsion of members from the workplaces that had been the preserve of the organization for nearly a century. Zerker blames the failure to respond effectively to the technology of the computer age on poor TTU management in pre-strike negotiations but, above all, on ITU intransigence, ignorance, and arrogance. In more recent years, after the end of this history, TTU membership has increased substantially and the local has been revitalized under its new leadership; the International, too, shows signs of being on the way to much-awaited reforms. This history is in many senses a microcosm of the Canadian labour movement and forms an important strand in general cultural history of Toronto. –Publisher's description

CAIMAW [Canadian Association of Industrial Mechanical and Allied Workers] : Portrait of a Canadian Union - Atherton, Patricia Gwen (University of British Columbia, 1981)
This study of CAIMAW's history attempts to explain why some Canadians in recent times have abandoned international unions to found and develop an independent Canadian union, to determine whether such an independent union is identifiably different from those unions traditionally operating in Canada, and to identify the factors that operate in favour and mitigate against the success of Canadians in their attempt to create and develop such a union. Personal interviews with the major figures related to this study comprise an essential source of information. Due to the cooperation extended by CAIMAW, a search of union files was conducted and constitutions, pamphlets, correspondence, newspaper articles, union publications and other relevant documents were examined. Published sources provided secondary information for the majority of this paper. A societal mood in the 1960's of labour militancy, uncertainty arising from adaptation to change, a desire for Canadian self-assertion, and a corresponding resentment of American influence in Canadian affairs combined to set the stage for the formation of breakaway independent Canadian unions in Winnipeg and Vancouver. Lack of control over their own affairs and the imposition on the membership of unpopular union decisions by international officers created unrest among these Winnipeg and Vancouver workers, and a demand for greater membership decision making authority. Refusal by the international unions involved to respond to this demand resulted in a coalition of union dissidents and nationalists in a common cause, the rejection of their international unions and the founding of their own, independent national unions. The merger of the Winnipeg and Vancouver breakaway unions gave rise to a constitutional battle seated in philosophical differences with overtones of regionalism. It was a struggle between business unionism and social unionism, and a corresponding struggle between centralized authority and local autonomy. The resolution of this struggle in the rejection of business unionism and centralized authority laid the foundations for the policies and practices of CAIMAW as it operates today. These policies and practices make CAIMAW a union that is identifiably different from traditional international unions in terms of greater decision-making power for the rank and file, different methods of bargaining, and a different organizational structure. These differences do not, however, appear to have hindered CAIMAW's ability to win benefits for its membership that are at least comparable to those won by international unions. An independent union such as CAIMAW faces difficulties in its formation and development due to the established place of international unions in Canadian labour institutions. But weaknesses within these institutions such as interunion and intraunion divisions have allowed CAIMAW to survive and, indeed, grow. CAIMAW can draw support from union dissidents, nationalists and socialists of the New Left, groups which traditional labour institutions in Canada have failed to accommodate. To the extent that a society creates institutions in accordance with its needs, there exists an important place for CAIMAW in Canada.

Using statistical studies, interviews with executives and personnel managers, case studies, historical records, and court cases, Constance Backhouse and Leah Cohen show how pervasive sexual harassment is in the workplace. The authors provide us with a balanced and incisive understanding of what goes on. They also recommend ways to combat sexual harassment. Since this subject has till now been unexplored, avoided, and rife with myths and misinformation, this book is all the more important to our society. – Author's website

La grève de Murdochville (1957) - Bélanger, Guy (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
Cet article cet propose de faire l'historique du conflit en insistant prioritairement sur les grévistes et les syndicats chargés de défendre leurs intérêts. Embourbés dans un dédale judiciaire, les mineurs, les Métallos et la FTQ devront répliquer à l'antisyndicalisme primaire de la Gaspé Copper Mines, forte de l'appui indéfectible du gouvernement Duplessis et de sa police provinciale. Outre le rappel des événements, l'article analyse les répercussions de la grève sur l'opinion publique québécoise, qui s'avérera plutôt tiède à l'endroit des grévistes. Il accorde une attention particulière aux réactions du mouvement syndical et à l'élaboration d'une action unitaire CTCC-FTQ. L'article démontre que ce front commun était nécessaire pour renverser le rapport de force en faveur des mineurs, tout en décelant des retards dans sa mise en branle. Aussi, cette action commune ne peut exercer quelque influence sur le dénouement du conflit en dépit de possibilités certaines. L'échec de la grève de Murdochville n'est donc qu'en partie imputable à l'ampleur de la répression patronale et gouvernementale. À l'intérieur même du mouvement syndical, une part de responsabilité revient à la FTQ, dont la très récente fondation n'a pas permis de résoudre certaines faiblesses structurelles nuisibles à l'établissement d'un vaste mouvement de solidarité.

Through the Looking Glass of Culture: An Essay on the New Labour History and Working-Class Culture in Recent Canadian Historical Writing - Bercuson, David J. (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
This is an analysis of the concept of working-class culture as applied by some practitioners of the new labour history in Canada. The article begins with a comparison of the approach of traditional labour history to that of the "new" labour history and asserts that there are significant differences in philosophy and lesser differences in methodology. A brief examination of the concept of working-class culture and how it is to be utilized by historians follows. The validity of using such a general framework is questioned in a close examination of recent major works of the new labour history genre. A conclusion is offered that these works show that the application of general principles is a tricky business because, although factual evidence appears at times to support the idea that working-class culture was an important determinant, at other times it does not. The article concludes by questioning the assumption that there is any "best" way of approaching the study of social history; that to assert that history must be studied "from the bottom up" is as predeterministic as the notion that it should be studied "from the top down." Prejudice and a priori assumption plagues all historians.

Class Conflict on the Canals of Upper Canada in the 1840s - Bleasdale, Ruth E. (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
Portrays the extreme economic distress of newly arrived Irish immigrants (stereotyped as "Paddy") who worked under harsh conditions for low wages on the canals of Upper Canada, which, in turn, fuelled feuds, ethnic clashes, and crimes against property in the 1840s. Describes the canallers' shanty town support system, their strikes for higher wages, and other forms of resistance related to secret societies, as well as the extensive efforts of the government of the Canadas to suppress the labour unrest. Concludes that state officials and contractors, in blaming "Paddy" for an ungovernable disposition, ignored the historic, aggrieved legacy of Irish class conflict that set the stage for confrontation in the Canadas.

Teacher Union: Myth or Reality? - Braithwaite, John Anthony (McGill University, 1981)
This study sought to determine whether the St. Lawrence-Richelieu Teachers' Association (SRTA) was a union or a professional association. The question was tackled by subjecting the SRTA to various definitions of unionism and professionalism, and by examining the operational behaviour of the teacher organization in recent years. It was found that with respect to the definitions of the terms established in the thesis the SRTA cannot be called a union or a professional association per se. However, although the organization has exhibited traits of unionism and/or professionalism throughout its evolution, it is clear that the SRTA is today closer to a union than to a professional association.

"Weaving It Together": Life Cycle and the Industrial Experience of Female Cotton Workers in Quebec, 1910-1950 - Brandt, Gail Cuthbert (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
Employs a life cycle framework to analyze women's role in the Quebec cotton industry from 1910-50 with a focus on the textile mill at Valleyfield. Concludes that young women gave all of their income to their parents, that because of this circumstance women remained unmarried until fairly late, that prior to the 1940s women left the workforce after marriage, but, commencing in that decade, women would return to work after marriage, and that with technological change and the increased sexual division of labour, women were more likely to be relegated to less skillful jobs. Also comments on the reasons why women were generally less militant workers. The paper, which is part of a larger investigation, was based on 35 interviews with female cotton workers in Valleyfield, Quebec, supplemented with census data, government reports, archival sources, and newspaper accounts.
