Class and Culture: Dimensions of Canada's Labour Past, Montreal, March 1980 - Traves, Tom (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Discusses papers given at the conference, Class and Culture: Dimensions of Canada's Labour Past, held at McGill University, March 7-8, 1980. Highlights the contrasting views of David Bercuson and Gregory Kealey on class and culture. Argues that there should have been greater focus at the conference on the relationship between class and culture, including a theoretical analysis of the concept of working-class culture. Comments on papers on the Cape Breton and Alberta mining industries, ethnicity and class, the role and practice of the legal system in the 18th and 19th centuries, and social structure and mobility in rural Canada. Concludes that, overall, the conference was a great success.

W.C. Van Horne and the "Foreign Emissaries;" The CPR Trainmen's and Conductors' Strike of 1892 - Tuck, Hugh (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
In March 1892, the conductors and trainmen's unions on the CPR's Western Division won a week-long strike and a signed contract, the first on the CPR. The walk-out was forced upon the unions by company president Van Home's decision to drive them off the CPR by administering "loyalty" oaths to company trainmen and conductors. During the strike, the company's extensive use of anti-American propaganda against the two international unions made the question of international unionism a key issue in the dispute. The unions won the strike because almost all the conductors and trainmen on the Eastern Division heeded the strike call, contrary to Van Home's expectations, and because they proved, by shutting down adjacent divisions, that they could turn the strike into a nationwide tie-up if necessary. Recognizing that breaking the strike under these circumstances would be unnecessarily costly. Van Home capitulated. The strike is historically significant, first, because it marked the beginning of modem union recognition and collective bargaining on the cpr — and subsequently on other Canadian railways — and second, because it noticeably strengthened the position of international craft unions on Canadian railways.

March and Simon's (1958) model of the decision to participate was examined empirically with a sample of professional, managerial and technical employees. The results provide partial support for the model. While confirming the importance of job satisfaction in predicting the propensity to leave, perceived ease of movement, intraorganizational movement possibilities, and the interaction of job dissatisfaction and ease of movement were also found to be significant independent contributors in explaining the employee’s propensity to leave.

L’influence des « besoins supérieurs » sur la réaction de l’employé à certaines caractéristiques de sa tâche - Bergeron, Jean-Louis; Morin, Jean-Luc (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Le but de cet article est d'examiner l’influence modératrice des besoins dits supérieurs ou intrinsèques (besoin d'accomplissement, de développement personnel, de compétence) sur la relation entre les caractéristiques du travail normalement associées à l'enrichissement des tâches (e.g. complexité, autonomie, variété) d'une part et la satisfaction et la motivation de l'employé d'autre part. À la suite d'une revue de la littérature pertinente, les auteurs présentent et discutent les résultats d'une recherche effectuée auprès de 176 employés d'un hôpital du Québec. La conclusion résume les implications de ces résultats pour les chercheurs et pour les administrateurs.

La détermination des unités de négociation. Recherche d’une politique - Brière, Marc (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Le distingué directeur de cette revue— à qui l'on me permettra de rendre hommage pour son éminente contribution, durant quelque trente-cinq années d'un labeur important et fructueux, à une meilleure compréhension des relations de travail dans notre société— m'a invité à laisser un instant mon rôle de juge pour tenter de me rapprocher de celui de « savant », me faisant ainsi un honneur auquel j'aurais mauvaise grâce d'être insensible. Mon premier réflexe était de refuser cette aimable invitation, non pas par modestie ou timidité, mais par crainte des procès d'intention ou autres interprétations ou reproches que pourrait susciter un tel écart de conduite. Pour un juge, la façon normale, sinon la seule, de communiquer avec le monde extérieur n 'est-elle pas la délivrance et la publication de ses jugements? Et les juges du travail n'ont-ils pas mieux à faire qu'à prétendre faire oeuvre scientifique et concurrence aux docteurs du savoir? Chacun son métier, et les vaches n 'en seront que mieux gardées! Pensez, monsieur le juge, aux retards de la justice: que vos jugements courts et vite rendus! Le monde n 'a que faire de vos discours ou dissertations, non plus que de vos inutiles digressions, si justement fustigées sous le vocable d'obiter dictum, qui dérangent la belle ordonnance de la chose jugée et son confort juridique. Et pourtant... S'agit-il, comme l'on m'y invite si aimablement, de « contribuer à faire avancer la science »?— Peut-être bien en définitive, et tant mieux s'il peut en être ainsi. Je me garderai bien, toutefois, d'en avoir la prétention. Mon propos est plus modeste. J'ai accepté cette invitation dans l'espoir d'amorcer ou de renouer un dialogue. Car, dans le domaine des relations du travail tout particulièrement, le dialogue m'apparaît une impérieuse nécessité. Je n 'ai jamais pensé que nos jugements devaient avoir le caractère de vérités absolues ou définitives. Leur autorité est bien relative, non seulement dans les cas d'espèce qu 'ils ont pour première fonction de trancher à l'égard des seules parties en cause, mais surtout dans leur dimension plus générale où ils ne sont que des jalons de recherche vers une meilleure justice et une meilleure compréhension de la réalité vécue. La réalité des relations du travail dépasse largement le cadre judiciaire, même si ce que l'on appelle droit du travail doit y correspondre le plus possible, non seulement en tant que reflet et aboutissement, mais aussi en tant que dynamique d'évolution. C'est pourquoi il m'apparaît essentiel que les acteurs principaux des relations du travail, le patronat et les syndicats, participent à cette dynamique, non seulement en tant que plaideurs ou justiciables, mais aussi comme citoyens, et qu'à ce titre ils prennent part à la réflexion et à la discussion que l'élaboration des politiques administratives ou jurisprudentielles devrait normalement susciter, une part entièrement et « responsablement » assumée. La critique des arrêts, dont il y a lieu de déplorer la pauvreté, voire même l'absence, devrait être un élément particulièrement fécond de ce nécessaire dialogue; et je ne pense pas à la seule critique juridique. C'est dans cet esprit, esprit de recherche, esprit d'ouverture à la critique et au dialogue, non seulement avec les « savants », mais aussi et surtout avec les « acteurs » des relations de travail, que je présente ici, extraites d'un jugement que je commettais le 13 mars 1980 dans une affaire concernant l'INSTITUT DE RÉADAPTATION DE MONTRÉAL, certaines réflexions sur la détermination des unités de négociation. Cette année marque le dixième anniversaire du Tribunal du travail et, l'an dernier, le département des relations industrielles de l'Université Laval soulignait, par son colloque annuel, le quinzième anniversaire de notre Code du travail. Cela pourrait suffire à justifier, pour tous les navigateurs en perpétuel mouvement sur la mer agitée des relations de travail, la nécessité défaire le point. Qu 'en est-il, notamment, de la question fondamentale qu'est la détermination des unités de négociation à l'aube du cinquantenaire du Wagner Act? Quel est le chemin parcouru? Quelle est la destination? Y a-t-il lieu de redresser la course?

Ce souci de contrôle est encore plus affirmé dans les firmes possédées totalement par des étrangers.

Unresolved Issues in Public Sector Bargaining in the 1980’s - Carrothers, A. E. R. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
The paper falls under four main heads: 1) the environment of éducation in Canada, past, présent and future; 2) Public Service collective bargaining at the national level, including some observations on collective bargaining for teachers, keeping in mind the spécial interests of this audience and your interest in the general scene, at least for purposes of this early session; 3) options in the resolution of conflict; here I propose to comment first on characteristics of third party intervention, particularly as they may lead to binding arbitration, and then make comments and criticisms on emergency arbitration. There then foliows a conclusion the brevity of which will leave you in a state of disbelief.

The Incredible Harvest Excursion of 1908 - Cherwinski, W. J. C. (Walter Joseph Carl) (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
To satisfy the continuing need for agricultural labour in western Canada, especially at harvest time, the CPR after 1890 ran cheap harvest excursions from Eastern and central Canada each August and September. Accordingly, to insure an adequate supply of workers and potential settlers the railway companies, together with the federal and provincial governments, created an image of the prairies as a land of opportunity offering plentiful jobs at high wages. Owing to a variety of factors, however, unprecedented numbers responded to the 1908 appeal causing unexpected problems for all concerned. Some of those in the Maritime contingent were particularly troublesome as, bored and thirsty, they went on a rampage which touched most of the communities on the Main Line from Chalk River to Winnipeg. Once in the West distribution problems plagued all the excursionists with the result that places like Winnipeg, Moose Jaw, and Regina had too many harvesters on hand, while other places faced shortages. Consequently, numerous men wandered about aimlessly looking for work and often were forced to accept alternate employment at substantially less money than they had expected. The result was that the image of the West as capable of satisfying all those who went there in search of work was temporarily tarnished.

The Subordination of Labour in Canadian Mining - Clement, Wallace (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Class Relations in Canadian mining are explored as changes occur first as a result of the formal subordination of labour through capitalist penetration of petty commodity production then through the real subordination of labour within capitalism. It is argued that the once autonomous position of craftsmen and tradesmen in the surface and underground operations of hardrock mines are being subjected to de-skilling as capital uses technology and the division of labour to maximize its control. Parallel with the mechanization of mines and the automation of surface operations is the introduction of "people technology" in the form of modular training schemes, also designed to maximize capital's control and ease its ability to replace workers.

Collective Bargaining, Mutuality, and Workers Participation in Management: An International Analysis - Derber, Milton (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Since the end of World War II, worker participation in management has expanded in varying degrees, in different forms, and at different levels. In West Europe both collective bargaining and mutualism have expanded dramatically and workers participation in management seems destined to advance. In Britain and North America the adversary System of collective bargaining has predominated. Mutualistic schemes have been in the small minority. The attitudinal climate has not been conducive to consensus thinking in industrial relations.

Two Views of the Knights of Labor Centennial Symposium, Chicago, May 1979 - Dick, W.M. (William M.); Reilly, Nolan (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Presents two reports on the Knights of Labor Centennial Symposium held in Chicago in May 1979. The symposium focussed on the Knights of Labor in the US.

The trade unions’ reluctance to accept the reforms envisaged in the Industrial Relations Act 1971 is cited as an important example of trade unions* intransigence and arrogance and of the fact that they consider themselves to be above law. But the way the trade unions fought the Act appears to be quite in keeping with the democratic procedure and the rule of law.

"Fading Beams of the Nineteenth Century:" Radicalism and Early Socialism in Canada's 1890s - Homel, Gene Howard (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
The intensified problems of an increasingly urban and industrial Canada by the late nineteenth century stimulated the development of a significant movement of radical social critics. This article describes and interprets the convictions, supporters, and organizations of Canadian radicalism during the 1890s, encompassing labour leaders, anti-monopolists, single taxers, social gospellers, and the like. The radicals rejected free-market assumptions and, on the basis of their concern for ethical values and for the protection of the productive elements of the community, advocated a radically restructured society based on cooperation and brotherhood. The article explains the rise of socialist ideas against the background of traditional forms of radical protest.

And they suggest a possible cause for the difference in results obtained for the U.S. by Ashenfelter and Johnson, on the one hand, and Kahn on the other.

Décisions rendues par le conseil canadien des relations du travail - Martineau, Luc (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Le Conseil a décidé que l'employeur en l'occurrence une banque, avait agi illégalement en octroyant une augmentation de salaire à tous ses employés à l'exception de ceux qui travaillaient dans des succursales pour lesquelles une demande en accréditation avait été agréée par le Conseil ou qui était encore pendante devant celui-ci. Dans cette affaire, l'employeur avait fait connaître sa prise de position antisyndicale en annonçant ladite augmentation et ses réserves quant aux employés mentionnés plus haut, au moyen d'une lettre circulaire qui fut distribuée dans toutes ses succursales. Ces gestes constituent une entrave à la formation et à l'administration du syndicat plaignant quant à ses efforts et dans ses espoirs de réussir à syndicaliser les employés d'autres succursales; en même temps, ils constituent des menaces à peine voilées à l'endroit de ces employés et de la discrimination quant à ceux qui ont voulu exercer leurs droits en vertu du Code.

The Obsolescence of Bureaucracy - Matejko, Alexander J. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
The bureaucratic model becomes more and more self-defeating in present time because it is highly inadequate to meet the challenges of the modem world. Literature on the alternative models of collective work is now available. These are also several highly encouraging practical experiences. Fewer and fewer people still trust that any substitute for bureaucracy is just unrealistic.

Single Tax, Socialism and the Independent Labour Party of Manitoba: The Political Ideas of F.J. Dixon and S.J. Farmer - Mills, Allen (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
The Independent Labour Party of Manitoba was established in November 1920, mainly through the efforts of two English immigrants, F.J. Dixon and S.J. Farmer. Dixon was the I.L.P.'s first provincial house leader and Farmer was an I.L.P. M.L.A. from 1922 to 1949, as well as being Mayor of Winnipeg in 1923 and 1924. In their early years in Winnipeg both of them were strong supporters of Henry George's single tax doctrine and militant anti-socialists. This article has two purposes: first, to analyze the political ideas of Dixon and Farmer, and, secondly, to explore the influence of their Georgeite world view on the outlook of the early I.LP.

La relation entre le niveau d’éducation des travailleurs et les taux de roulement volontaire. - Price, Wilson (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Dans le modèle explicatif proposé par March et Simon, l'hypothèse selon laquelle le niveau d'éducation des employés démontre une corrélation positive avec les taux de roulement volontaire est émise. Dans cet article, l'auteur examine un cas où l'effet contraire est observé, ce qui permet à l'auteur de remettre en question l'hypothèse de March et Simon, et de la remplacer par une notion plus nuancée.

The General Strike in Amherst, Nova Scotia, 1919 - Reilly, Nolan (Acadiensis, 1980)
,,,The Amherst general strike resulted from the interaction of two broad historical processes which began prior to the First World War. First, the impact of the de-industrialization that accompanied the centralization of power and wealth in central Canada affected Amherst's working class in immediate terms as working conditions, wages, and living standards fell behind those of other Canadian workers. Particularly ominous for local workers were the signs pointing toward the complete economic collapse of the town. Second, the local labour movement, partly because of previous failures, began to move toward a more radical response to these economic developments. In 1919, the merging of these two forces forged a new working class solidarity in Amherst, which found expression in the rise of the Amherst Federation of Labor, the renewed interest in socialist ideas and, of course, the three week general strike. –From introduction

Relations professionnelles et vie politique. Quelques réflexions à partir de la crise de relations professionnelles en Europe occidentale - Reynaud, Jean-Daniel (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
À la lumière des événements depuis dix ans, l'auteur passe en revue ce que l'on pensait des tendances prof ondes dans le système des relations professionnelles, alors que beaucoup étaient convaincus de l'existence d'un modèle de portée suffisamment générale pour que l'on puisse expliquer les cas déviants. Il se demande que vaut aujourd'hui ce modèle, quelles critiques il soulève, quelles corrections il faut lui apporter et quelles leçons de méthode on peut en tirer.

The Effects of Strikes and Strike Length on Negotiated Wage Settlements - Riddell, Craig W. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
This study investigates the effects of strikes and strike length on negotiated wage settlements in Canada using a large body of individual contract data. The main novelty of the paper is the inclusion of both a strike/no strike dummy variable and the length of the strike if one occurred in an equation explaining wage changes. This allows for the possibility (and thus tests the hypothesis) that the occurrence or non occurrence of a strike and the length of the strike if one occurred have separate effects on the negotiated settlement.

Minto, New Brunswick: A Study in Canadian Class Relations Between the Wars - Seager, Allen (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
In and around the site of the town of Minto lie New Brunswick's only major coal deposits. From the Laurier period to World War II the district experienced a process of industrial development, accompanied by the emergence of a working-class community, dominated at the time of World War I by immigrant mine labour, later, by native-born workers drawn into the industry from the surrounding rural areas. Like colliers in Nova Scotia or the western regions, Minto's workers sought relief from the worst abuses of industrial-capitalist development through trade union organization. This met with fierce resistance from the employers, resulting in major coal strikes in 1920, 1926, 1934, and 1937-38. In Minto, however, a specifically political response, easily observable in other coal-mining regions was largely lacking. Radicalism in particular was weak, the political activity of Minto's workers being mainly confined to attempts to influence the policies and practices of the existing authorities. The paper attempts an explanation of the particular characteristics of Minto's working-class movement through reference to the interaction of local factors of culture and structure, and the evolution of the complex relationships between labour, business, and the state.

L’octroi de dommages-intérêts par un tribunal d’arbitrage dans le cas d’une grève contraire à la convention collective - Verge, Pierre (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
Par un arrêt unanime, la Cour Suprême du Canada renverse un courant jurisprudentiel bien établi de la Cour d'appel duQuébec. Elle affirme le pouvoir d'un tribunal d'arbitrage d'accorder des dommages-intérêts à un employeur victime d'une grève déclenchée pendant une convention collective. La convention collective dont il s'agissait prohibait une telle grève, mais ne contenait aucune mention expresse du pouvoir du tribunal d'arbitrage d'ainsi réparer un tel défaut d'appliquer cette disposition prohibitive.

Le congédiement pour participation à une grève illégale devant la Cour suprême - Verge, Pierre; D’Aoust, Claude (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1980)
La Cour suprême vient de rejeter le pourvoi formé à rencontre de l’arrêt de la Cour d'appel du Québec dans Lafrance c. Commercial Photo Service Inc. Non seulement ce jugement unanime dispose-t-il du droit de l'employeur de congédier un salarié en raison de la simple participation de ce dernier à une grève illégale; en pratique, il fait le point, d'une façon beaucoup plus générale, sur l'étendue du pouvoir d'appréciation du commissaire du travail et du Tribunal du travail quant à cette « autre cause, juste et suffisante » que doit établir un employeur pour repousser la présomption légale de congédiement en raison de l'exercice d'un droit résultant du Code du travail(L.R.Q., 1977, a. 15 et sq.).

The Nine Hour Pioneers: The Genesis of the Canadian Labour Movement - Battye, John (Labour / Le Travail, 1979)
This paper documents the attempt to obtain the nine-hour working day in Canada during the first six months of 1872. The primary role of the working class of Hamilton and Montreal is indicated and the view is taken that the Toronto Printers' Strike obscured, rather than advanced, the aims of the nine-hour movement. It is argued that, while there was certainly developing a class identity and a trade union consciousness, there existed only an inchoate sense of class consciousness among Canadian workers during the early 1870s.

The Emergence of the Socialist Movement in the Maritimes, 1899-1916 - Frank, David; Reilly, Nolan (Labour / Le Travail, 1979)
In the years after 1899 a small but vigorous socialist movement emerged in Canada's Maritime Provinces. This article describes the origins, activities, ideas and personalities of the early socialist movement in the region. The socialists gained support in the region's industrial centres and coal-mining districts and contributed a proportionate share of the national support enjoyed by the Socialist Party of Canada and the newspaper Cotton's Weekly. The article concludes that early Canadian socialism found an important following outside western Canada and that "conservatism" is not an adequate explanation of the history of the Maritimes.

Montreal's King of Italian Labour: A Case Study of Padronism - Harney, Robert F. (Labour / Le Travail, 1979)
[The article] concerns the activities of Montreal padrone, Antonio Cordasco, who served as an intermediary between Canadian big business and Italian migrant labour during the early part of the century, in relation to the nature of padronism itself. The padrone's activities extended both along the communications network between European labour and North American industry and into many aspects of Italian life in Canada. Although the dishonesty and corruption of the padrone are clear, it is also clear that it was not the migrant labourers who objected to his work, or indeed, when it suited them, the Canadian government itself. Big business in Canada, backed by the government, needed transient labour and it was the actual immigrant policy of the Canadian government, the wish to make use of Italian labour but to prevent it from turning into permanent immigration, which made Cordasco's role possible. The migrant labourers, looking for means to make money and then return to their hometown, were happy with the padrone as long as he supplied the jobs promised them. It is shown then that the padrone came under attack only when the needs of Canadian big business did not satisfy the requirements of migrant labourers. Cordasco was destroyed, in the end, not by the Canadian government's concern for migrant labour, but by a more practical dilemma, that is, the existence of hundreds of labourers caught in Canada without work and without means of returning to their homeland.

The Toronto District Labour Council and Independent Political Action: Factionalism and Frustration, 1900-1921 - Piva, Michael J. (Labour / Le Travail, 1979)
This article examines the political debate within Toronto's District Labour Council (DLC) from 1900 to 1921. It argues that divisive factors within the Council hindered the emergence of an effective third party alternative in the city. The majority of the delegates to the DLC favoured the formation of a labour party controlled by trade unionists. The Council fostered the formation of such a party, but the combined opposition of left-wing delegates, who advocated affiliation with the Socialist and later the Social Democratic Parties, and right-wing delegates, who opposed third party electoral action of any kind, prevented the DLC from affiliating or working too closely with the various labour parties. During the war the socialist and labourite delegates within the Council joined forces to promote a reorganized and more broadly based Independent Labour Party, but, again, severe internal conflict prevented the ILP from winning significant electoral support in Toronto.

The Girl of the New Day: Canadian Working Women in the 1920s - Strong-Boag, Veronica (Labour / Le Travail, 1979)
In the 1920s many liberal Canadians hoped that a modernized capitalism with new technologies and new methods of bureaucratic organization would benefit women by employment and promotion practices based on merit rather than tradition. Inequality in the workplace however, did not disappear. The failure to make great gains has sometimes been obscured by fascination with female professionals. Yet such individuals constituted a small, atypical minority. The fate of most working women lay in the non-professional employments. This study is an exploratory survey of the situation facing that majority. It begins with a brief characterization of the workforce followed by a lengthier evaluation of some of the influences which determined job selection. Career choices were basically of two types. The first, familiar blue collar occupations, were found in personal service and manufacturing. The second, in large measure, white collar, originated at the heart of the modern industrial state in the transportation and communication, commerce and finance, and clerical fields which had only relatively recently welcomed significant numbers of women. Neither choice offered women equality. The study next investigates women's collective and individual reactions to a discriminatory work situation. More exploited than their white collar sisters, blue collar workers, notably those in manufacturing, exhibited higher, more visible levels of unrest. The concluding section reviews the minimum wage legislation which, ironically enough, confirmed how little had really changed for all the anticipation of better times.

Local Union Democracy: In Search of Criteria - Anderson, John C. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
A vast number of criteria have been proposed as indicators of union democracy. Unfortunately, little agreement exists on the relative importance of those criteria. This article examines the interrelationships between several major components of union democracy: participation, electoral control, leadership responsiveness, and union control structure. Based on the results an integrated approach to union democracy is proposed.

Les dimensions conceptuelles du leadership et les styles qui en découlent - Bergeron, Jean-Louis (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Après avoir proposé une définition du leadership et expliqué la différence entre dimension et style de leadership, l'auteur résume les principales études qui ont porté sur les dimensions du leadership et suggère une classification qui semble pouvoir intégrer les connaissances acquises jusqu'à maintenant. L'étude de quelques auteurs bien connus pour leurs écrits sur les styles de leadership permet ensuite de voir à quelles dimensions ces auteurs ont fait appel pour définir les styles dont ils nous parlent.

Un cadre théorique pour l’étude de la relation entre la participation et la motivation au travail - Bergeron, Jean-Louis (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
À la suite d'une description des différentes théories qui ont été avancées pour expliquer une relation possible entre la participation et la motivation, l'auteur soutient que ces théories pèchent souvent sur deux points majeurs: une définition trop vague de ce qu'est la participation et l'absence d'un modèle explicite de motivation au travail. Il s'attache donc à corriger ces déficiences et à démontrer par quels processus certaines formes de participation peuvent affecter chacune des trois composantes du modèle VIE (Expectancy) de motivation. La capacité que semble posséder ce modèle d'intégrer toutes les théories présentées au début de l'article fait ensuite l'objet d'une brève discussion.

Règles du jeu et rapport de force dans les secteurs public et parapublic québécois - Boivin, Jean (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Dans cet article, l'auteur analyse les principales modifications apportées au régime de négociation collective dans les secteurs public et para-public québécois. Après avoir affirmé que le rapport de force est au coeur même des relations du travail dans les sociétés industrielles et que la forme privilégiée que revêt l’institutionnalisation de ce rapport de force dans les pays occidentaux est la négociation collective, il s'interroge sur les conséquences de la transposition de ce mécanisme dans le secteur public. Il rappelle brièvement l'évolution historique de la négociation collective dans les secteurs public et para-public québécois et analyse la philosophie de base de la Commission créée en juillet 1977 par le gouvernement pour étudier le régime des négociations collectives en vigueur. Constatant que les principales modifications introduites par le législateur en juin 1978 s'inspirent de cette philosophie de base, il les situe par rapport aux positions exprimées par les parties syndicales et patronales devant la Commission et par rapport aux problèmes rencontrés dans les négociations antérieures.
