"Knowledge is Essential for Universal Progress but Fatal to Class Privilege": Working People and The Schools in Vancouver During The 1920s - Barman, Jean (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Labour historians have characterized the 1920's as a time of working-class quiescence. The reality in the case of Vancouver was more complex. The workplace may have become quieter, but working people were not inert. Organized activity focused on the city's schools, not to overturn the system but to obtain fairer consideration for the children of working people. By opting for reform over class confrontation, working people allied themselves with like-minded, largely middle-class individuals equally concerned with educational reform. Considerable improvement of facilities resulted, despite active opposition by business interests concerned with immediate economic advantage. The consequence was that more children of working people, and more children generally, stayed in school a little longer.

La formation des traditions de solidarité ouvrière chez les mouleurs montréalais: la longue marche vers le syndicalisme (1859-1881). (French) - Bischoff, Peter C. (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Cet article recherche les causes de la lenteur du développement des traditions syndicales chez les mouleurs montréalais. Fondé en 1859, le syndicat des mouleurs montréalais connaît deux décennies de stagnation relative avant que ses effectifs s'accroissent considérablement. Dans d'autres villes canadiennes, durant la même période, les mouleurs forment rapidement de puissants syndicats. A Montréal, les différences ethniques et linguistiques entre mouleurs d'origine britannique et mouleurs canadiens-français, et les tensions qu'elles engendrent durant la période, semble être au centre du problème. Seule une minorité de mouleurs, composée d'éléments écossais, irlandais, anglais et américains, se regroupent au sein d'un syndicat dès ses débuts. Les mouleurs non-syndiqués, majoritairement canadiens-français, optent apparemment pour un militantisme de type spontané ou organisé sur une base ponctuelle, qui s'appuie sur leur autonomie fonctionnelle au travail. Ce n'est qu' à la suite d'un processus d'adaptation relativement long, et sous la menace d'une dégradation de leur métier, que les mouleurs entreprennent l'unification de leurs rangs autour d'une organisation permanente de réglementation et dedéfense de leur métier. L'essor du syndicat s'effectue alors sous l'impulsion des mouleurs canadiens-français et, en seconde place, des mouleurs canadiens-irlandais.

The Stalinist Image of Canada: The Cominform and Soviet Press, 1947-1955 - Black, J.L. (Joseph Laurence) (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Examines media coverage of Canada in the Soviet Union during the Cold War years from 1947-1955. Provides background on the post-World War II political situation in Europe including the founding of Cominform, the Soviet-East European news bureau, and its publication, "For a Lasting Peace." Argues that Soviet commentators, including academics, followed the line of the Stalinist dictatorship in viewing the Canadian state as subordinate to monopoly capital and under increasing US domination. Canadian communist party leader Tim Buck was also frequently quoted or featured, as was peace activist James Endicott. Concludes that the tone of the coverage moderated somewhat after Stalin's death in 1953, reflecting changes in the Soviet leadership and in policy direction. (Note: The author also published the book, "The Soviet Perception of Canada, 1917-1987: An Annotated Bibliographic Guide" (1988).)

The Coalminers and Their "Red" Union: The Amalgamated Mine Workers of Nova Scotia, 1932-1936 - Earle, Michael (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
The Amalgamated Mine Workers of Nova Scotia (AMW) was a Communist-led union of coal miners that broke away from the established United Mine Workers of America (UMW) in the early depression years, at a time when only Communists called for trade-union militance. The new union adopted principles of extreme rank-and-file democracy and radical resistance to company demands for wage cuts. It held the allegiance of the majority of miners in the province for several years, but its rival, the UMW, was supported by the coal company and the government. Moreover, the AMW never carried out its threats of a district strike to win recognition. After several years of the dual union situation, the miners saw the necessity of unity in confrontations with the company. In addition, the UMW was resurgent in the United States and had begun to take a more militant stance. Finally, changes in the policy of the Communist Party caused it to press for reunification. In rejoining the UMW, however, the miners were obliged to surrender many of their aspirations for district autonomy and inner-union democracy.

The Cold War, Alberta Labour, and the Social Credit Regime - Finkel, Alvin (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
In the period following World War II, Alberta's Social Credit government passed several pieces of restrictive legislation which limited labour's ability to organize workers and to call strikes. The enforcement of labour law also reflected an anti-union bias. This article argues that Social Crediters, who had a penchant for conspiracy theories, believed that union militancy was the product of the manoeuverings of an international communist conspiracy. Their labour legislation was intended to foil the conspiracy's plans in Alberta and incidentally to reassure potential investors, particularly in the oil patch, of a good climate for profit-taking. But the path for such legislation was made smoother by the conservatism of one wing of the labour movement in the province and the fear of being tarnished with the communist brush by the other wing. On the whole, the Alberta experience casts a grim reflection on the theory that the post-war period provided a measure of industrial democracy for Canadian workers.

Comment - Gonick, Cy (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Replies to Gilbert Levine's "Relations Between Unions and Universities in Research" published in the same issue. Argues that Levine's criticism is partly misplaced, i.e., that unions are excessively focussed on the here-and-now, that they want propaganda in place of analysis, that they lack the staff to evaluate the research being done, and that they do not know how to properly take advantage of researchers. Concludes that unions' preoccupation with social democratic politics leads them to reject explanations and lines of reasoning that cannot easily be accommodated by the status quo, and that union leaders must address the issue for an academic-labour rapprochement to occur. See also the article, "Academic Research on Labour: Strengthening Union-University Links," by Pradeep Kumar, published in the journal (no. 25, Spring 1990).

Overcoming the Inevitable: Restricting Child Factory Labour In Late Nineteenth Century Ontario - Hurl, Lorna F. (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
This paper investigates the changing experience of child factory labour in late 19th and early 20th century Ontario. It explores the largely accepted, though untested assumptions that restrictive legislation (the Ontario Factory Act of 1884) was achieved at the behest of middle and upper-class social reformers whose concern was motivated by a new concept of childhood. The evidence provided reveals that, contrary to historical myth, organized labour was the motivating force behind the anti-child labour legislation. It also indicates that, once proclaimed, the legislation was poorly monitored and enforced and, as such, was largely ineffective in curtailing the practice of child labour. Despite this, however, the paper provides evidence to show that child factory labour did decline significantly after the mid-1890s. The explanation offered is essentially one of changes in the demand for and the supply of child labor. That is, the centralization and accumulation of industrial capital in concert with technological advances in production restricted opportunities for child factory labor. At the same time, improvements in workers' standards of living reduced the need for families to send children to work. The study does not deny the importance of the changing concept of childhood in curtailing child labour. However, rather than being afforded primacy, the new views of childhood are seen as part of the social backdrop which made employers of children subject to criticism and adult workers desirous of protecting children's 'tender years'.

Feminisation of the Labour Process in the Communication Industry: The Case of the Telephone Operators, 1876-1904 - Martin, Michèle (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
This article uses concepts coming from studies of the feminization of different occupations to investigate how the occupation of telephone operator came to be a female job ghetto. Its main theme is that the feminization of operating was central to the rapid growth of the telephone industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Contrary to general findings in the literature on feminization, the study suggests that labeling the operator's occupation as a female job increased, rather than reduced, its social status, although it did not improve its wages. It also indicates that whereas the job definition changed to suit female characteristics, its actual performance continued to involve commonly recognized male features to which the female operators had to adapt.

Labourism and Economic Action: The Halifax Shipyards Strike of 1920 - Morton, Suzanne (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Postwar industrial action in Halifax culminated in the strike of the Marine Trades and Labor Federation against the Halifax Shipyards Limited. Increased strike activity was accompanied by and enhanced labor's formal political aspirations as expressed in the rejuvenation of the Halifax Labor Party. This article explores the economic and political events leading up to the summer of 1920, when the Halifax Shipyard Strike and a Nova Scotia provincial election brought local events to a climax. Laborism, the broad political philosophy uniting labor activists in postwar Halifax, initially appeared to offer the ideal medium through which political and economic questions could be filtered and processed. But as laborites attempted to apply their philosophy to concrete situations, they exposed its inherent contradictions. The strike clarified their ideas while it revealed their weakness, and promoted the eventual fragmentation of the Halifax labor movement.

In linking the discontinuities in the development of industrial relations theory in Canada with succeeding historical phases in the evolution of Canadian industrial relations, this article argues that an understanding of industrial relations theory must be historically grounded. It identifies four phases of theoretical development and suggests that the hold of Systems theory on the discipline should be understood as the product of a specific historical period which is now giving way to the emergence of new approaches.

Race and Gender: Structural Determinants in the Formation of British Columbia's Salmon Cannery Labour Forces - Muszynski, Alicja (Canadian Journal of Sociology / Cahiers canadiens de sociologie, 1988)
The industrialization of the fisheries of British Columbia began in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the canning of salmon for export to Great Britain. Since fish was an essential staple in the diet of the native peoples living in the pacific northwest, its capture and processing was a vital part of their economic activity. Salmon canners sought a factory labour force at the cheapest possible wage. To the extent that native peoples continued to meet subsistence needs, at least partially, through the native economy, when employed for wages they did not have to be paid the full costs of the production and reproduction of their labour power. Of all the groups employed, native women and their children received the lowest wages and least secure conditions of employment. The paper explores the use of race and gender by salmon canners as a means of creating a labour force and paying it the lowest wages possible, according to the ability of each group to partially realize subsistence needs through pre-capitalist relations of production. Special attention is given to the place of native women in this process.

Grain Terminal Automation: A Case Study In The Control Of Control - Novek, Joel (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
In 1978, the Cargill grain export terminal in Thunder Bay, Ontario, underwent a modernization program that included the installation of a computerized process control system. The introduction of this technology challenged the prevailing division of labor in the grain industry under which a management supervisor issued commands by telephone and hourly workers responded by physically moving the grain through the terminal. Under the new system, grain movements were controlled by two operators sitting at computer terminals in a control room. Management claimed control of the control room as an extension of the supervisor's role and in the initial automation plan both control room operators were to be supervisors. The union representing hourly employees saw this as a threat to its control over physical operations. An unstable compromise was worked out under which management and the union would share control room duties. Four years of negotiations and an arbitration hearing failed to fully resolve the issue in this test case for grain industry automation.

Economic Aspects of Mandatory Retirement: The Canadian Experience - Reid, Frank (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1988)
Economie impacts of eliminating mandatory retirement are a crucial aspect of the Charter of Rights arguments concerning the «reasonableness» of age discrimination. Evidence suggests that the number of employees who would workpast normal retirement age in any given year is only a fraction of one percent of the labour force. Eliminating mandatory retirement would consequently have minimal impact on job opportunities for youth and personnel practices concerning evaluation of employees. Actuarial adjustment of private pension plans to accommodate a flexible retirement age is only a minor administrative matter and has already been implemented in some Canadian jurisdictions.

The Interchangeable Worker and Fighting Back: Identifying Some Strategic Issues - Reiter, Ester (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Organizing unorganized workers, particularly the growing number of women and young people in part-time jobs, is one of the major challenges for organized labour. The restructuring of the restaurant industry in the post- World War II period produced a work situation in which traditional workplace organizing strategies were rendered ineffective. This paper explores the development of the interchangeable worker in the fast food sector of the industry and examines how a feminist approach to work, which stresses the links between paid work, family, and community, is a more appropriate model upon which to develop suitable strategies for dealing with this increasingly common workplace.

'It Was a Hard Life': Class and Gender in the Work and Family Rhythms of a Railway Town, 1920-1950 - Rosenfeld, Mark (Historical Papers, 1988)
Most social histories of the working class have focussed on women's or men's experience alone. However, while studies of working-class women have often been sensitive to the ways in which class and gender relationships have been constructed and reconstructed simultaneously, histories of working-class men have been largely gender-blind. In an attempt to provide a more comprehensive understanding of gender-based divisions in the working-class experience this study examines the relationship between male and female work worlds in the railway ward of Barrie, Ontario between 1920 and 1950....

Making The Workplace 'Safe' In Capitalism: The Enforcement of Factory Legislation in Nineteenth-Century Ontario - Tucker, Eric (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
The development of industrial capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century in Ontario brought new and more serious hazards into the workplace and drew women and children into the waged labour force. As a result of working class lobbying and the efforts of middle class reformers, the state empowered itself to regulate health and safety conditions in factories and to protect child and female labour. The implementation of these regulations was left to an inspectorate which was armed with substantial legal powers to enforce the law. These powers were rarely invoked by the inspectors. However, the failure to prosecute does not in itself indicate that the law was unenforced. An alternative enforcement strategy based on persuasion was followed by most inspectors. It has been argued that persuasion was chosen over prosecution because it made more efficient use of the scarce enforcement resources available to the inspectors, and that persuasion was effective. This paper argues that although it is true that the government chose to devote woefully inadequate resources to enforcement of factory legislation, this is not an adequate explanation of the inspectors' enforcement behaviour. The belief that persuasion was an effective enforcement model also flowed from the inspectors' values and assumptions, including the following: that worker carelessness was the major cause of accidents; that employers were socially responsible; that workers and employers had common interests in occupational health and safety; and that women and children needed special protection. It is further argued that persuasion was not an effective enforcement strategy, especially because it was linked with an acceptance by the inspectors of 'normal' industrial practices, even where those practices generated significant risks for workers. In effect, health and safety regulation probably did as much to legitimate industrial capitalism as it did to protect workers health and safety.
