Les Catégories socio-professionnelles : une nouvelle grille de classement - Bouchard, Gérard; Pouyez, Christian (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Introduces a new classification grid of socio-professional categories developed by the interuniversity group based at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. The multidisciplinary team aims to create a digitized population register for the regions and subregions of northeastern Quebec from 1800 to the present. The database will include economic, social, cultural, demographic, genetic, and health information. The next step is hierarchization, which consists of classifying the categories on the basis of criteria such as property, wealth, power, lifestyle, prestige, and education. While it will not result in an understanding of social classes as such or the fundamental, structured relationships that perpetuate them, it will shed light, at a first level, on the concrete modalities of the division of labour as well as, at a second level, on the distribution of the attributes that are linked to labour. This approach is therefore preliminary, or at least complementary, to more theoretical discourses on classes and the deep structures in which they are rooted.

Canada’s Sweetheart: The Saga of Hal C. Banks - Brittain, Donald (CBC / NFB, 1985)
Harold Chamberlain Banks, a convicted felon and union strongarm, was recruited in 1949 to break up the communist-controlled unions that were blocking the country’s shipping industry and to replace them with a Canadian chapter of the Seafarers’ International Union (SIU). This gripping docudrama, based on eyewitness accounts and courtroom testimony, recalls thirteen turbulent years of violence and corruption during which the careers of 6 000 seamen were destroyed by the power of one man, Banks. Canada’s Sweetheart recounts the events leading up to 1962, when a small group summoned the courage to stand up to Banks and his organization. This challenge resulted in the government-appointed Norris Commission hearings–a landmark in Canadian labour history. –Website description

Les accidents industriels au Canada : le portrait d'une décennie - Brody, Bernard; Rohan, Paul; Rompré, Louise (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1985)
Dans la décennie 1971-1980, les accidents industriels au Canada ont connu une très forte croissance. Pareillement, les couts totaux (directs et indirects) ont fait un bond prodigieux: ils ont quadruple en dollars courants et double en dollars constants. Ceci, en dépit du mouvement populaire de conscientisation en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail et des efforts déployés par les autorités compétentes pour contrer le phénomène envahissant des accidents professionnels.

Historical Variations in the Impact of Union Density on Strike Frequency : Some U.K. Evidence - Cameron, Samuel (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1985)
Considerable debate exists on the influence of fluctuations in union membership on strike frequency. On a theoretical level it is possible to advance a number of arguments about the sign and meaning of the regression coefficient on union membership in a strike function (see Kaufman (1982)) so the issue remains primarily an empirical one. This paper attempts to shed some new light on the empirical issue using U.K. evidence.

The Evolution of Modern Catholic Social Teaching on Labour and Social Justice - Campbell, Hugh J. (Wilfrid Laurier University, 1985)
The task of this thesis is to show that from the nineteenth century to the present Catholic Scoial Teaching recognized increasingly the need for social justice in the areas of labour and society. In order to do this, I propose to research carefully the major official Church documents on Catholic social teaching on human labour from Pople Leo XIII’s Enevelical, Rerum Novarum (The Condition of Labour), 1891, up to Pope John II’s Enevelical Laborem Exercens (On Human Work), 1981. I will also attempt to define what Catholic Social Teaching is and explain what are the principles which make up the social teaching of the Catholic Church—principles which are drawn from scripture, concepts of natural law and the sciences. Reference will also be made to Karl marx where his philosophy on labour is applicable. To support the position of the Catholic Church in its teaching on social justice in the workplace while at the same time given that position clarity from my own point of view, I will speak briefly on my evolution as a worker, a union steward, and Catholic layman. I believe this is necessary because what I am today and how I feel about social justice (or the lack of it), especially in the workplace, has its roots in my early tradition and gradually evolved. Just as the Catholic Church in its writings down through the ages has consistently recognized the plight of the worker, I, too, as a worker, gradually became aware of many visible injustices in the workplace, although I was relatively powerless to do anything about them. In developing my thesis, I will draw upon my thirty-eight years’ experience as a member of Canada’s work-force, thirty-four of which were spent in the telecommunication field. By referring to specific work-related problems I encountered over the years, I will demonstrate why there is such a need for social justice in the workplace, and why I as both Catholic and worker ultimately became a strong advocate for some form of legal machinery to help resolve these problems. I will briefly touch on some incidents that immediately preceded the majority vote for the Communication Workers of Canada (CWC) as the bargaining agent for the Phone Company’s craft and clerical employees in place of the Employees’ Association. As one of the first union stewards and Chairman of the Political Action Committee for the CWC, I will relate a few of the many cases I resolved for fellow workers, in contrast with what the Association has been able to do for this group of workers. I will show why I agree wholeheartedly with the Catholic Church’s present position on and support of the trade union movement as a vehicle for social justice in the workplace. All of the Popes with whom I will be dealing, Leo XIII, Pius XI, Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, called for social justice in the workplace and advocated unions as bargaining agents for the worker. Their writings and those of other brilliant Catholic churchmen and laymen demonstrate how the Catholic Church has evolved in the area of social justice and labour. It is this broader Catholic support which has allowed me to find my proper place as a worker advocate. Thus, autobiographical reflection will provide the impetus which inspired me to analyze the papal enevelicals of the Catholic Church.

Arthur W. Puttee: Labourism and Working-Class Politics in Winnipeg, 1894-1918 - Dewalt, Bryan (University of Manitoba, 1985)
The thesis addresses the problem of Arthur W. Puttee's 1918 breach with the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council after twenty years of work within the labour move¡ent as a journalist and politician. The breach is accounted for through an exploration of the ideology that underlay his political decisions. Structured biographically, the thesis uses various primary sources, most notably Puttee's weekly newspaper, the Voice, and his speeches as a labour member of parliament, to trace a continuity in his beliefs from the beginning of his career in the 1890s to its end in 1918. The concept of "labourism", recently elaborated by Craig Heron to describe the ideology of Canadian craftsworkers who worked for independent political action by labour, is used to characterize Puttee's beliefs. The study reveals a central contradiction in Puttee's labourism. He challenged many aspects of the emerging system of monopoly capitalism and demanded for labour the right as producers of wealth to full democratic representation in government. He was opposed to monopoly, the crude exploitation of workers, and government by "special interests" rather than the "people". But Puttee had no systematic critique of capitalist social relations and believed that labour constituted only one segment of a businessmen, and "fair" employers. He viewed the state as ideally the instrument for the will of the "people" and the defender of the "public'' interest. This contradiction in Puttee's beliefs became most apparent in the radicalized labour atmosphere of 1918, when, as a labour member of Winnipeg City Council, he opposed a general strike of unionized city workers in the name of the broader public interest he sought to represent broader community of producers that included farmers, small businessmen, and "fair" employers. He viewed the state as ideally the instrument for the will of the "people" and the defender of the "public interest." This contradiction in Puttee's beliefs became most apparent in the radicalized labour atmosphere of 1918, when as a labour member of Winnipeg City Council, he opposed a general strike of unionized city workers in the name of the broader public interest he sought to represent.

Changing Ghettos: Women Clerical Workers in Ottawa During the Second World War - Doherty, John (Carleton University, 1985)
This thesis studies the changing work of women during the Second World War and examines their life outside of work in the Ottawa community. Nine women were interviewed to understand the transition experienced by women during the war. The experiences of these women are placed within the context of the political and social developments of the 1930's and 1940's. Through these women's lives we can examine the transition from domestic service to clerical work and the impact this had on women's lives. It was during the war that women emerged as the majority of clerical workers in Canada and accelerated a growing trend of women working in the paid labour force. While the trend towards women working had begun in the post World War I era, the national mobilization during the war was unprecedented in Canadian history and opened new job opportunities for women.While the new job opportunities for women represented an improvement in wages and working conditions from domestic service, clerical work soon emerged as another job ghetto for women which did not allow women the opportunity for advancement. In these jobs women, especially married women, faced many barriers and the conditions at work and outside of work are explored.

"The Modern Chivalry": Women and the Knights of Labor in Ontario, 1880-1891 - Dubinsky, Karen (Carleton University, 1985)
The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor was the most significant labor organization in nineteenth century North America. Part trade union, part social reform movement, the Knights organized hundreds of thousands of workers across the continent, and initiated countless major strikes, particularly during the 1880's. The Knights were the first major union to attempt to make unions accessible to a broad range of workers. At a time when most unions were the preserve of highly skilled, white, male workers, the Knights organized blacks, some immigrants and women. This thesis examines the relationship between women and the Knights of Labor in Ontario in the 1880's. The Knights organized women workers, and they also supported an impressive 'feminist' platform of social reform. They endorsed every major feminist demand in the nineteenth century, from suffrage to temperance to equal pay. In Canada, they campaigned successfully for the first sexual harassment legislation. This platform is particularly significant when set next to prevailing restrictive notions of femininity and 'true womanhood'. Yet the Knights were also a male dominated organization. While the 'space' they opened for working class women was important, it was not without its own set of limitations and restrictions. Within the context of contemporary debates about the intersections of class and gender, this thesis examines the contradictions and tension in the Order's feminist ideology.

Textile Workers and Textile Strikes in Cornwall, Sherbrooke, and St. Gregoire De Montmorency, 1936-1939 - Ellis, Ralph (University of Ottawa, 1985)
This thesis examines textile workers, unions and their strikes at Cornwall, Sherbrooke and St. Gregoire de Montmorency from 1936 to 1939. Via a community study approach, several themes important to textile unionism in particular and industrial unionism in general will be covered. All three places were mill towns. How did this affect political, financial and moral support? How did the corporate structure of the firms involved influence the outcome of the strikes? Were there differences between workers in terms of militancy and their reactions to unionism? What was the role of women at the rank-and-file and leadership levels in the union? –Excerpt.

Socialism, Internationalism, and the Australian Labour Movement - Farrell, Frank (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Examines the labour movement in Australia with an emphasis on its political arm, the Australian Labor Party, from the late 19th century to the 1980s. Discusses the impact of national populism, which resulted in the notorious White Australia policy, with socialist and communist currents having only limited political influence. Internationalism in the aftermath of the Second World War was similarly constricted, with the Cold War having a polarizing effect on the labour movement and the ALP. Concludes that the current Labor government of R.J. Hawkes, a former labour leader, is in keeping with the traditions of the party's political leadership since it first came to power at the national level prior to World War I.

The Rise and Fall of the Labour Party in Alberta, 1917-42 - Finkel, Alvin (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
While Alberta is generally regarded as a conservative province, its early labour movement was class conscious and, for many years had a significant political impact provincially and in many municipalities. The Labour Party, which united trade unions and socialists of every stripe (until its expulsion of the Communists in 1929) reflected the determined independence of Alberta workers: its leaders and members were almost exclusively working-class. But the party was always an uneasy alliance between those who saw politics purely in electoral terms and those who emphasized extra-parliamentary activity. And the election in 1921 of a Farmers' government caused divisions about how closely Labour should work with a non-Labour government. After the purge of the Communists, those who favoured an exclusive concentration on electoral activity and close collaboration with the Farmers, held sway. Their narrow conception of politics turned the Labour Party increasingly into a private preserve of union bureaucrats and created a political vacuum into which Social Credit stepped in.

Wage Labour and the Transition to Capitalism: A Critique of Pentland - Greer, Allan (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper examines two basic conceptual flaws in H. Clare Pentland's influential history of the early Canadian working class, Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1850. First, Pentland's eclectic use of Marxist, staples thesis, and Weberian approaches makes for a fundamentally incoherent treatment of the subject. Second, focusing on "labour" (that is, waged labour) and "capital," Pentland neglects the central features of Canada's pre-capitaiist social formations: features such as the household economy of production and direct consumption, which had little to do with waged labour or capital. Because his understanding of pre-capitalist society is so defective, Pentland is unable to deal adequately with the transition to capitalism.

Final Offer - Gunnarsson, Sturla; Collison, Robert (National Film Board, 1985)
The filmmakers were given remarkable freedom to record the historic 1984 contract negotiations between the United Auto Workers and General Motors Corporation. Bob White, labour leader of the Canadian branch of the UAW, must also confront his American counterpart from Detroit and succeeds in arriving at a contract that is significantly Canadian. His members had already given him a mandate to fight for independence from the American union. This is an invaluable document for anyone interested in the complexities of United States-Canada relations. It's an extraordinary film about revolutionary events. –NFB website description

The Communists and the Unemployed in the Prince George District, 1930-1935 - Hak, Gordon (BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly, 1985)
The worldwide depression prostrated the British Columbia economy in the early 1930s. Production levels dropped and industry stagnated. Unemployment became a pressing problem, and as jobless from throughout Canada rode the trains to the warmer climes of British Columbia's Lower Mainland there was fear that British Columbia was becoming "just a blamed resort for all the hoboes in Canada." Vancouver was inundated with unemployed workers and became the focus of agitation as the job-less organized demonstrations, tag days, and parades in order to gain the ear of governments and improve their circumstances. ... In interior centres, where the climate was much less kind, the jobless also launched an attack on the established order. In the Prince George district unemployed workers, led by communists, pressed the local government for higher relief payments, organized demonstrations and parades, initiated strikes in relief camps and at work projects, and even entered the political arena in the 1933 provincial election under the banner of the United Front. –Introduction

The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35 - Hannant, Larry (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
In August 1935 the people of Alberta shocked the country by electing a Social Credit government. Most explanations for this remarkable success have focused on the predominance of farmers in the province. This essay probes to the roots of the Social Credit movement in Calgary in 1932. What emerges is a new recognition of the vital role of Calgary workers in launching the movement. As organizers, activists and, at certain times, shock troops, Calgary workers led the Social Credit sweep through the city, then propelled it into the rural arena where it won its electoral victory.

"We Were the Salt of the Earth!": A Narrative of the On-to-Ottawa Trek and the Regina Riot - Howard, Victor (Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina, 1985)
The Regina Riot, which erupted in that city's Market Square on July 1, 1935, was the climax of a strike by relief camp workers which had begun in British Columbia on April 4. After lingering two months in Vancouver, the participants struck out east by freight train, on to Ottawa, where they intended to tell the Government of Canada that the situation of the unemployed had become intolerable. The origins of the Strike, the Trek, and the Riot – the character of those events – are what this book is all about. It is a narrative, composed from federal, provincial and municipal records, from news reports, from interviews with participants, from sworn testimony, from photographs, from maps, from sawn-off baseball bats. It is the story of an event which figured prominently, at the same instant, in the history of the Canadian worker, in the history of the Canadian radical, in the histories of two Canadian cities and in the history of R. B. Bennet's Depression years government. –Publisher's description

The End of Agrarianism: The Fight for Farm Parity in Alberta and Saskatchewan, 1935-48 - Monod, David (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper deals with an attempt by the farmers of Alberta and Saskatchewan to have the economy regulated to their advantage. Through parity, the farmers hoped to have the prices of the goods they bought controlled by the values of those they had to sell. The agitation in favour of parity prices lasted ten years, and it culminated in a massive 30-day farm strike in autumn 1946. At the heart of the whole matter was the issue of agrarian survival. The struggle for parity involved marginal farmers who worked small acreages and had large overheads. These producers were being impoverished by their inability to compete with their more mechanized counterparts. The ultimate failure of their protest marked the end of the non-competitive farmers' existence in agriculture. But despite its failure, the agitation reveals not only the similarities between the industrialization process in its urban and rural contexts, but also the difficulties involved in transferring forms of dissent from one sector to the other.

The Bradley Report on Logging Operations in Newfoundland, 1934: A Suppressed Document - Neary, Peter (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Introduces and publishes with minor editorial corrections the long-suppressed Bradley report of 1934 into the living and working conditions of men in the Newfoundland forest industry. The inquiry, which was led by J. Gordon Bradley, was commissioned by the government in response to worker complaints regarding the the country's two foreign-owned pulp-and-paper mills: the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company Limited at Grand Falls and the International Power and Paper Company of Newfoundland Limited at Corner Brook. However, the report's damning findings were kept secret in return for the companies' agreement to pay the workers a minimum net monthly wage of $25; the ruling Commission of Government also subsequently tooks steps to improve working conditions in addition to passing legislation on the logging camps in 1938.

Solidarity Coalition: The Struggle for Common Cause - Nelson, Patricia Ann (University of British Columbia, 1985)
This thesis is a case study of the Solidarity Coalition, a social protest movement which united labour and community groups In opposition to right-wing restraint legislation. It considers why this unprecedented extra parliamentary force failed to persuade the government to withdraw the offending legislation and attempts to explain the dominance of the labour agenda in the modest successes it did achieve. Interviews with participants in the Coalition and other significant political actors provide the information used in the analysis of this protest phenomena. The thesis incorporates a detailed study of the evolution of the Coalition and its organizational structure and Internal processes within the context of the larger political system and with reference to theoretical literature concerning protest movements. I argue that the emergence of the Coalition as a diverse and broad based movement in reaction to a right wing attack on the social contract is predictable, however, the outcomes of the protest action are less so. Analysis of the Coalition suggests that organizational contradictions within its structure, external and unforseen circumstances, and the strength of government intransigence were influential factors shaping both the development of the protest movement and the outcomes of its actions. The commitment to common cause, fuelled by moral outrage and espoused by labour and community groups, was not sufficient to withstand the divisive tendencies inherent in the structure of the Coalition, or the Inertia that must be overcome by large groups to achieve collective goods. Labour proved to be the more powerful actor within the Coalition due to its financial and organizational resources and its significant noticeabilIty factor as a member of the CoalItion. I argue that consistent with the theory of the logic of collective action that the labour agenda eventually dominated within the Coalition, influencing the parameters of the settlement achieved, and in part, accounting for the failure of the Coalition to meet Its collective goal of withdrawal of the restraint legislation.

Chambly Mills, 1784‑1815 - Noël, Françoise (Historical Papers / Communications historiques, 1985)
The study of Gabriel Christie's investments in, and operation of, Chambly Mills in the late eighteenth century provides insight into the role of a small-scale seigneurial enterprise in the rural economy. Despite the sizable investment involved, the flour mill employed only a small number of permanent wage workers, and other cash expen- ditures were minimal. The mill can therefore be seen to have operated within a traditional structure of rural society rather than as a force for change. The mill, however, also depended on artisanal labour and a link between the establishment of the mills and the growth of the village is suggested. Seigneurial investment may have been a major factor in the increasing number of villages in Lower Canada between 1815 and 1831. A need for further study of the role of seigneurial capital in the wider economy is indicated, an area which the focus on centralized and large-scale industries has left virtually unexplored.

Examines the gendered division of labour in Newfoundland with a focus on fishing in the rural outports. Provides a history of women's presence in Newfoundland, including the growth of families as more women arrived as well as outport settlement. Documents the work done by women in the domestic sphere, including their control and supervision of onshore sundried fish drying for the market, a practice that lasted into the 1950s. Concludes that, although fishing was male-dominated, women's role both as settlers and shore crew enabled them to negotiate actively in the formation and development of the relationship of production.

The Communist Party and the Woman Question, 1922-1929 - Sangster, Joan (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper analyzes the Communist Party of Canada's view of the woman question, the role women played in the party, and the party's successes and failures in its attempts to organize working-class women. The Communist Party's view of the woman question was shaped by the advice of the USSR and the Communist International, as well as by the party's social base and the political understanding of its own membership. The Communist Party's Women's Department helped to create a new national organization for women, the Women's Labor Leagues, which, led by Florence Custance, experienced substantial growth in the 1920s. The Communist Party gave more attention to women's inequality than had previous socialist parties, although it failed to live up to its stated aims to organize working-class women and encourage women's participation in the revolutionary movement.

Socialists and Workers: The Western Canadian Coal Miners, 1900-21 - Seager, Allen (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
At the end of the nineteenth century, the socialist movement in Canada began a campaign to create national political organizations and to forge links with the working class, The strongest of these organizations was the Socialist Party of Canada (SPC), which elected several provincial deputies in the West after 1903, and won the affiliation of a number of unions, above all District 18 of the United Mine Workers of America. This article analyzes the socialist project in the coal mining regions of Alberta and British Columbia, 1900-20. Here, mining conditions provoked long and hard working-class struggles, such as the violent strike of non-union miners on Vancouver Island in 1912-4, or the general strike of miners in the Crow's Nest Pass in 1919. Socialist politics had the sympathy of the militants but more importantly, of the mass of electors in these regions. Contrary to the mythology of the frontier, the majority of working-class socialists comprised stable industrial communities. And the Marxist programme of the SPC offered an alternative to each of the great ethnic blocks in the coalfields: European immigrants on the one hand, and English-speaking workers on the other. Be that as it may, the socialists suffered a decisive defeat after 1914. The historical juncture of 1919 created new marching orders for the miners: towards the Communist Party, or the "reformist" socialism of the CCF.
