Union Assimilation of the Ergonomic Approach and the Transformation of Social Relations - Gadbois, Charles; Villatte, Robert; Bourne, Jean-Paul; Visier, Laurent (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
A large-scale project to introduce a participatory ergonomics approach into 100 health care establishments in France was conducted by a hospital sector union. The project took the form of ergonomics training provided to union delegates to committees responsible for health, safety, and working conditions. Data on the project's progress and results show that when unions had assimilated an ergonomic approach, the view that hospital actors had of one another was modified, as were the relations concerning working condition issues. The conditions for the success, extension and durability of this approach are discussed.

Langue du travail et mondialisation des échanges : situation dans les PME et dans les grandes entreprises au Québec - Gagnon, Mona-Josée (Langue nationale et mondialisation: enjeux et défis pour le français : actes du séminaire, 1995)
Langue du travail dans les entreprises au Québec et mondialisation des échanges : voici les deux notions que l'on m'a demandé de mettre en relation. D'un côté, une réalité qui nous est proche et pourtant mal connue parce que composite, reflet de nombreuses influences et déterminations en perpétuel mouvement : la langue du travail. De l'autre côté, le phénomène à l'heure actuelle sans doute le plus discuté mais aussi le plus difficile à saisir et à analyser : la mondialisation des échanges. D'un côté, une réalité qui est d'intérêt public mais qui se déroule dans une sphère qui n'est pas publique... comme l'est par exemple l'affichage. De l'autre côté un phénomène dont chacun peut percevoir l'un ou l'autre volet mais qui, par sa globalité même, échappe à toute identification spatiale. Bref deux objets également difficiles à appréhender.... --Introduction

Âge des opérateurs et travail répétitif : une approche démographique et ergonomique - Gaudart, Corinne; Laville, Antoine; Volkoff, Serge; Molinié, Anne-Françoise (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Les relations entre le vieillissement des salariés et les conditions de travail se situent à deux niveaux: l'un individuel qui est propre au vieillissement de chacun, l'autre collectif qui est marqué par les phénomènes de génération et d'époque. Ces relations ont été étudiées dans l'industrie automobile française en se centrant sur le travail répétitif sous cadence imposée et en associant des approches en démographie du travail et des approches ergonomiques. Les résultats permettent de définir des actions anticipatrices pour éviter les effets négatifs d'une double évolution : celle du vieillissement de la population des opérateurs et celle de l'organisation du travail.

The U.S./Canada Convergence Thesis: Contrary Evidence from Nova Scotia - Gilson, Clive H. J.; Wagar, Terry H. (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Certification data were used from the province of Nova Scotia to provide further evidence that convergence of industrial relations systems between the US and Canada is far from unavoidable. Contrary to arguments advanced by Troy (1991), private sector organizing in Canada, even when operating under a US-style legal environment, remains remarkably robust, posting a win rate of 68% over a 10-year period with no evidence of longitudinal decline. Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that international unions are unable to match the organizing performance of their Canadian counterparts.

The Canadian Auto Workers: The Birth and Transformation of a Union - Gindin, Sam (Lorimer, 1995)
The Canadian Auto Workers union, the CAW, has a long and rich history. Part of the U.S.-based United Auto Workers for almost fifty years, the CAW separated from its American parent in 1985. Today, the Canadian Auto Workers union encompasses members from a broad range of industries. It is also one of the most powerful unions in the country. Yet few people know the union's history, how it acquired its strength, or what accounts for its split with its American parent. This illustrated history provides a fascinating look at the union from its origins to the present. Beginning in the twenties, Sam Gindin describes the early years of the automobile industry and the emergence of GM, Ford, and Chrysler. He looks at the birth of the UAW in 1936, the conflicts that rocked the union in the fifties, the signing of theAutopact in the sixties, and the historic split of the Canadian section from the UAW two decades later. Finally, he considers the issues facing the union and the Canadian labour movement as the century draws to a close. By providing a profile of the CAW as well as the labour and social movements that it helped shape, The Canadian Auto Workers offers us something unusual — an engrossing glimpse of our past, written from a union perspective. --Publisher's description

La fonction ressources humaines en contexte québécois : perceptions et évolution - Gosselin, Louis (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Dans un monde en changement, l'organisation s 'ajuste aux besoins de son environnement. Dans le contexte des annees 1980, la tangente prise par les entreprises privilégie la fonction ressources humaines en lui conférant un rôle prépondérant dons l'atteinte des objectifs organisationnels. Au cours de la dernière décennie, les chercheurs ont développé de nouvelles approches de gestion des ressources humaines et les praticiens ont vanté les mérites d'une préoccupation accrue de cette ressource dans l'organisation. Cependant, qu'en est-il réellement? Cette étude tente de retracer l'évolution de la fonction ressources humaines entre 1978 et 1989 au Québec et de vérifier si !es pérceptions qu 'en ont les directeurs généraux et les directeurs des ressources humaines dans des entreprises du secteur sécondaire privé ont sensiblement changé au cours de cette même période.

From Dreams of the Worker State to Fighting Hitler: The German-Canadian Left from the Depression to the End of World War II - Grenke, A. (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
German-Canadian labour first organized itself at the national level soon after the outbreak of the Depression, in 1929. Once organized, the movement was integrated into the international communist labour movement, under the direction of the Comintern. After the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in Germany, German-Canadian labour changed its focus from radically altering society to fighting Naziism. The change in focus helped many German-Canadian pro-communists escape internment when war broke out. The war, however, brought an end to their organized activities. These recommenced soon after Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union. Established in 1942. the German Canadian Federation became essentially an advocate of Soviet Russian views and interests. This greatly weakened its appeal in the German Canadian community and contributed to the demise of the German Canadian labour movement soon after the end of World War II.

Reasonable Accommodation Requirements Under Workers' Compensation in Ontario - Gunderson, Morley; Hyatt, Douglas; Law, David (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
A relatively new and potentially important administrative forum for interpreting the concept of reasonable accommodation has been created by the Ontario Workers' Compensation Act as amended in 1989. The revised act contained provisions requiring employers to reemploy, and where necessary make reasonable accommodations for, workers following an injury. Though representing an important reformation for the workers' compensation system, accommodation requirements are present in other labor market policy initiatives. The accommodation requirements in other legislation and jurisprudence in Canada are discussed, the recent reforms to the Ontario Workers' Compensation Act are described in which accommodation represents an integral component, and the new and emerging jurisprudence under the revised act are outlined.

The Construction Workers' Strike on the Canadian Pacific Railway, 1879 - Hall, David J. (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
In May 1879 construction workers struck on contract 15 of the CPR to demand back pay, restoration of wage structures, and improved board and medical attendance. The working conditiona, causea. and outcome of the strike were typical of the situation for unskilled labourers on large construction projects in the 19th century. The workers gained their back pay, but little else. At the same time, the strike contributed to the loss of the contract by the contractor, Joseph Whitehead, and perhaps also contributed to the end of the small contract system of building the transcontinental railway.

Mending Fences, Building Bridges: The Effect of Relationship by Objectives on Conflict - Hebdon, Robert; Mazerolle, Maurice (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Some 24 Relationships by Objectives (RBO) programs conducted by the Education Relations Commission in Ontario were evaluated. An RBO is a form of preventive mediation and applies problem-solving techniques to attempt to reduce such unnecessary conflict as language disputes over grievances, strikes, and the time in negotiations. Mean conflict scores of the RBO boards are compared, before and after RBO, with those of the education sector and a control group of boards. Some evidence is found of a half-life effect for RBO programs since long-run conflict scores returned to pre-RBO levels. However, RBO appears to be effective in reducing conflict as measured by time to reach a settlement and number of grievance arbitrations over language issues.

La Legislation sur les relations du travail au Canada et le CP 1003 - Hebert, Gerard (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Au cours du vingtième siècle, les syndicats ont joué un rôle majeur dans le système australien des relations industrielles. Ce rôle a été confié au mouvement syndical par la Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act de 1904. Cette loi, la base du système d'arbitrage australien, encourageait fortement l'adhésion syndicale et consacrait effectivement les syndicats comme unique voix des travailleurs. Les immigrants en Australie y trouvent alors un mouvement syndical fort et bien organisé pouvant les accueillir. Plusieurs immigrants n'ont eu d'autre choix que de devenir syndiqués. Un bon nombre d'ateliers fermés de facto existaient, plus particulièrement pour les travailleurs manuels dans les secteurs manufacturiers, du transport et de la construction, tous employeurs importants de main-d'œuvre immigrante en provenance de milieux non anglophones (IMNA). En conséquence, les taux de densité syndicale pour les IMNA ont toujours été plus élevés que ceux des australiens d'origine et des immigrants anglophones. Cet article s'intéresse à la façon dont les syndicats ont relevé les défis posés par un groupe d'immigrants membres, les femmes IMNA. Nous examinons le niveau de service offerts à celles-ci par les syndicats, l'étendue de la participation de ces syndicalistes dans leurs syndicats et les priorités qu'elles représentent pour ceux-ci. La documentation existante sur ce sujet souligne le manque de services spéciaux pour satisfaire aux besoins des IMNA syndiqués féminins. On y indique également que ces membres ont un bas niveau de participation dans les activités syndicales telles les votes et la présence aux assemblées, qu'elles sont grandement sous-représentées dans les postes d'officiers et que les syndicats ne s'attardent pas aux préoccupations importantes pour les immigrantes. On conclut en outre que ces facteurs amènent les IMNA femmes syndiquées à être aliénées envers les syndicats et à percevoir ceux-ci de façon négative. Ces prétentions sont cependant sujettes à débat sur au moins deux volets. D'abord, ces études ont été menées durant les années 1970 ou au début des années 1980 et leurs conclusions peuvent ne pas tenir pour les années 1990. Ensuite, ces prétentions pourraient aussi bien s'appliquer aux membres féminins de langue anglaise. Notre recherche vise alors à vérifier si les conclusions tirées dans le passé valent encore et à déterminer s'il y a des différences entre les membres féminins anglophones et les IMNA vis-à-vis leurs syndicats. Cette étude s'appuie sur des données provenant de trois sources : une enquête par questionnaire auprès de tous les syndicats de l'État de Victoria avec un taux de réponse de 55% (N=128), des études de cas de six syndicats en procédant à des entrevues et à des analyses des dossiers, ainsi qu'une enquête par questionnaire auprès d'un échantillon des membres de ces syndicats. Ce dernier questionnaire a été traduit dans dix langues et a connu un taux de réponse de 56% (N=1730). Notre étude démontre que même si une variété de services aux IMNA ont connu une expansion dans les années 1980 et au début des années 1990, un seul service, un cours de formation, visait spécifiquement les IMNA féminins syndiqués et tel service n'était offert que par cinq syndicats. Nous expliquons ce manque de service par trois facteurs interreliés : les ressources syndicales limitées, le statut minoritaire des IMNA féminins dans la plupart des syndicats et les attitudes des dirigeants syndicaux à plein temps. Comparé à leur proportion du nombre total de membres, les IMNA féminins, en dépit d'améliorations durant les années 1980, demeurent sous-représentées de façon significative parmi les dirigeants syndicaux à plein temps, plus particulièrement au niveau supérieur. Cependant, nous avons observé des taux de participation similaires des IMNA et des membres féminins anglophones dans la plupart des activités syndicales visant les membres. Finalement, les priorités industrielles majeures de ces deux groupes de membres sont similaires. Les deux groupes veulent voir leurs syndicats se concentrer sur les préoccupations traditionnelles, telles la sécurité d'emploi et les conditions de travail. Cependant, les IMNA syndiqués féminins accordent beaucoup plus d'importance aux sujets reliés aux immigrants que leurs collègues anglophones.

Collective Memory and the Definition of Place: A Monument for the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 - Hyland, Gillian Crawford (University of Manitoba, 1995)
ln acknowledging and incorporating significant episodes of the past into the present landscape, monuments can provide the inhabitants of a place with an interactive heritage: a heritage based on the fusion of past and present, deepening a sense of place by providing the means to possess a common identity, that is to belong to a fellowship of place. The intent of this practicum was the development of a contextually based monument which relies on an integration of elements and contextual relationships to convey its meaning. With this goal in mind, the evolution of the monument was studied in order to gain a better understanding of it as a theoretical concept and valid functional element. The intent of this study was the development of programmatic guidelines for a contextually based monument. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 provided the perfect subject for the design of a commemorative monument which would be based on an application of the developed program. Site selection for this specific commemorative monument was based on the applicability to historical criteria and thematic issue derived from a study of the Winnípeg General Strike. ln addressing and defining each of the requirements, the design has achieved its purpose in illustrating the practical application of a theoretical concept, the contextual monument.

Workers and Canadian History - Kealey, Gregory S. (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1995)
Workers and Canadian History is a collection of twelve essays by Gregory Kealey, the recognized Canadian leader in the growing field of working-class history. Available for the first time in a single volume, the essays provide an extensive study of various trends and themes in Canadian labour and working-class history, covering debates, major developments in historiography, and key events in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kealey provides an overview of the study of workers in Canada as well as in-depth examinations of two of the field's leading scholars, political economist Clare Pentland and Marxist historian Stanley Bréhaut Ryerson. He analyses the development of Canadian labour history in particular and social history in general, and provides detailed empirical studies of the Orange Order in Toronto, printers and their unions, the Knights of Labor, and the Canadian labour revolt of 1919. The collection concludes with three synthetic views of Canadian working-class history focusing on the labour movement, the role of strikes, and attempts by the state to manage class conflict. --Publisher's description.

In Subordination: Professional Women, 1870-1970 - Kinnear, Mary (McGill-Queen's University Press., 1995)
From 1870 to 1970 between ten and twenty per cent of women in paid work held jobs described by the Canadian census as "professional." In this important historical study, Mary Kinnear explores the experience of the first generations of professional women in Canada. Kinnear presents five case studies of professional women in Manitoba: university teachers, physicians, lawyers, nurses, and schoolteachers. Although the unrelenting efforts of nineteenth-century feminists won women access to higher education and the professions, the author reveals that most women, whether in male- or female-dominated professions, were forced to accept subordinate positions. They responded with acquiescence, indifference, resentment, or resistance. Kinnear considers the reasons for and the cost of these various strategies. In addition to quantitative data culled from census and other records, Kinnear has collected testimony from more than two hundred professional women, a rich mine of information. A significant contribution to the growing literature on women and the professions, In Subordination helps explain why professional women continue to fight for equality today. --Publisher's description

"Character Weaknesses" and "Fruit Machines": Towards an Analysis of The Anti-Homosexual Security Campaign in the Canadian Civil Service - Kinsman, Gary (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
This investigation interrogates State documents that were part of organizing the anti-homosexual security campaign in the late 1950s and 19605 in the Canadian civil service that led to hundreds of men and women being dismissed and transferred from their jobs. This critical analysis provides an entry point into the textually-mediated social organization of this security campaign. Crucial to this were ideological conceptualizations of `national security' and 'character weakness' that were used to mandate practices of surveillance, dismissal, and transfer. This security campaign led to the identification of thousands of suspected gay men and lesbians that moved far beyond the civil service; to state-funded research on identifying homosexuals called the 'fruit machine'; to debates within the security regime over how broad-ranging this campaign should be; and to non-cooperation from lesbians and gay men.

"Hands-off Labour Forum": The Making and Unmaking of National Working-Class Radio Broadcasting in Canada, 1935-1944 - Klee, Marcus (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
This article examines the Worker Educational Association's National Labour Forum radio series as it developed into a popular, and politically contentious, program with a weekly national audience of 100,000. The series quickly evoked the condemnation of CD. Howe. head of the powerful Department of Munitions and Supply, and embroiled the program and the WEA in the sectarian struggles of the labour movement. Eventually the WEA was expelled from its central role in the production of Labour Forum and control was transferred to the state's Wartime Information Board and its Committee of Industrial Morale. The Trades and Labour Congress and Canadian Congress of Labour bureaucrats slowly responded to a persistent chorus of protest from workers and union locals, withdrawing their support one year prior to its cancellation in 1944.

Le travail humain, l'ergonomie et les relations industrielles - Lamonde, Fernande; Montreuil, Sylvie (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Avec ce numéro thématique, la revue Relations industrielles/Industrial Relations publie pour la première fois des articles en ergonomie. De ce fait, le présent article vise deux objectifs: définir l'objet d'étude, l'objectif et la méthodologie d'intervention propres à l'ergonomie et mettre en lumière les points de rencontre et les perspectives de collaboration entre relations industrielles et ergonomie. L'intérêt porté à la question de la collaboration entre ces deux disciplines est expliqué, entre autres, par une «coïncidence historique ». Du cóté de l'ergonomie, la popularité des volets « organisation du travail » et « gestion sociale de l'intervention ergonomique » succéderait à une période où les énergies ont été concentrées sur le développement de modalités concrètes de travail en commun avec les disciplines techniques comme l'ingénierie, l'informatique et l'architecture. Parallèlement à cela, du cóté des relations industrielles s'est développé un intérêt de plus en plus marqué pour les problèmes pratiques de gestion posés par les micromécanismes organisationnels que représente, dans l'entreprise, l'activité réelle et informelle des opérateurs. Trois formes concrètes de collaboration à faire naître entre ergonomes et spécialistes en relations industrielles sont proposées.

Work, Ergonomics and Industrial Relations - Lamonde, Fernande; Montreuil, Sylvie (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Two objectives are pursued: to define the object of study, the objectives and the methodology that are characteristic of ergonomics, and to highlight the common points and possibilities of collaboration between industrial relations and ergonomics. The interest inherent in a collaboration between these 2 disciplines is explained, among other things by a historical coincidence. On the ergonomics side, a period that concentrated on developing concrete ways of collaborating with technical disciplines like engineering, computing and architecture has given way to a focus on work organization and the social management aspect of ergonomics intervention. At the same time, industrial relations has developed a more pronounced interest in the practical management problems that are posed by micro-organizational processes within firms, namely, the informal work activities of operators.

Law and Labour Unrest in Ontario's Textile Industry; Cornwall, 1936 and Peterborough, 1937. - Landry, Laura (Carleton University, 1995)
This thesis examines two textile industry strikes in the late 1930s and how federal and provincial labour law combined with criminal law to affect the strike outcomes. By using the 'Strikes and Lockouts' file, period newspaper microfilm and negotiation manuscripts, I reconstruct the 1936 Cornwall Courtaulds and the 1937 Peterborough Dominion Woollens and Worsted strikes. Both strikes occurred during the course of the *Royal Commission Investigation on the Textile Industry (Turgeon Report)* which provides much statistical data to supplement newspaper reports; both involved primary textile production in southern Ontario during the Hepburn administration; and both industrial conflicts involved women workers. I have used a political economy approach to elaborate on the development of the federal *Industrial Disputes Investigation Act (I.D.I.A.)*, the provincial *Industrial Standards Act (I.S.A.)*, and the provincial/municipal use of section 501 of the *Criminal Code*. I conclude that labour law does not progress in a linear fashion but is characterized in its administration by the co-existence of both voluntarist and repressive legal measures. While the broader historic political climate would influence the social acceptance of a strike, the regulation of industrial conflict is ultimately strategically constrained by the criminal law. Finally, women were active in both strikes, whether on the picketline or aiding the strike.

Red Flags and Red Tape: The Making of a Labour Bureaucracy - Leier, Mark (James Mark) (University of Toronto Press, 1995)
Labour bureaucracy has long been a subject of interest to sociologists and industrial relations specialists, but it has rarely been examined by labour historians. In Red Flags and Red Tape Mark Leier aims to understand how and why bureaucracy came to dominate an organization that was established to promote greater democracy for the working class. The formative years of the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council, from 1889 to 1910, provide the basis for his study of the interplay between bureaucracy, class, and ideology. Leier sets himself three tasks: he examines the theoretical debates on the labour bureaucracy; he investigates the early history of the VTLC to show how and why bureaucratic structures evolve over time; and he looks at the ideology and personnel of the labour council to try to understand the complex relationship between bureaucrats on the left and right of the political spectrum. He describes the ideology of the bureaucrats (including their attitudes towards gender and race) and how it compares to that of the council's members, and observes that bureaucrats are defined by their power over a movement rather than by their ideology. Finally, since the VTLC was, at different times, dominated by labourists and socialists, Leier explores why different leaders held variant or antagonistic views. Leier concludes that the pressure of trade unionism and the class position of labour officials led to increased bureaucracy and conservatism, even among the socialists of the labour council, and as the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council matured, increased red tape isolated the officials from the membership. --Publisher's description

Attitudinal Militancy in A Canadian Postal Plant - Lewis, David Lloyd (McMaster University, 1995)
One tenet of labour process theory is the contention that, when confronted by degraded work, people will resist through militant behaviour or in other ways. However, that "resistance hypothesis" has been tested rarely. Canadian postal workers have manifested some considerable militancy, for instance through legal and wildcat strikes and through frequent recourse to the grievance mechanism. Too, their work has been subjected to technological change often pointed to as a prime example ofjob degradation. But not all aspects of postal work have been subjected to technological change. Thus, postal workers constitute a test ofthe "resistance hypothesis:" if degraded work provokes militancy, then ceteris paribus postal workers involved in automated work will be more militant than those who are not. In this study, a group of postal workers employed in "Cancity" in 1985-6 (N=152) were surveyed regarding their attitudes and experiences. Factor analytic techniques were used to construct a scale of attitudinal militancy, and hierarchical set analysis - summarised using dummy variable path coefficients - was used to examine the causal links between this outcome and logically prior factors, including job degradation, employment history, and achieved and ascribed statuses including sex. The results indicate that job degradation does have an impact on attitudinal militancy, but that this impact is modest at best, and weakens as other influences are taken into account.

Gender, Class and Community: The History of Sne-Nay-Muxw Women’s Employment - Littlefield, Loraine (University of British Columbia, 1995)
This thesis documents the employment history of Sne-nay-muxw women. The Sne nay-muxw, a Coast Salish peoples, live on the southeast coast ofVancouver Island close to the city ofNanaimo. Nanaimo was established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1852 as coal mining town. Coal dominated the economy until the early 20th century when forestry related production became important. Today a service economy has eclipsed both the primary and secondary industries. Within these economies a distinct gender, race and class segregation structured Sne-nay-muxw women’s employment opportunities. This study examines the nature of this segregation, the Sne-nay-muxw domestic economy and the gender ideology that promoted both women’s inclusion and exclusion in. wage labour. A central question posed in this thesis is why Sne-nay-muxw women today perceive their traditional roles to be within the home despite their historical participation in the labour force. Feminist anthropology provides the theoretical and methodological approach used for this study. It is accepted that women’s experiences in the labour force are different not only from men but also from other women based upon relational inequalities ofrace and class. Historical data was collected from a variety of sources; published and unpublished government reports, missionary accounts, letters and journals. Nineteen women and eight men were interviewed in the community for both historic and contemporary accounts of employment experiences. History reveals that during the mining economy Sne-nay-muxw women were excluded from working in the mines and limited to employment as domestic servants. The introduction of Chinese labour, decreasing coal demands and increased technology forced many women to migrate with their families to the canneries on the Fraser river and the hop fields in Washington state. In the forestry related production economy, Sne-nay-muxw women’s opportunities were limited despite the expansion of employment for women in the service sector. State policies and inferior education were significant factors in this exclusion. At this time Sne-nay-muxw women continued to migrate with their families to the fish camps on Rivers Inlet and the berry fields in Washington state. In the last two decades the service economy has dominated in Nanaimo. Sne-nay-muxw women have found increasing job opportunities on and off reserve in administration, management and professional service delivery programs. While this employment is part of the wider trend for women in the service economy, Sne-nay-muxw women’s opportunities remain segregated by gender, race and class. Women’s participation in the labour force is shown to be linked to the organization of their domestic economy. Before 1920 this economy incorporated both subsistence production and farming with seasonal wage labour. After this time the Sne-nay-muxw became increasingly dependent upon wage labour. However, extended family and kinship networks have remained important for support and cooperation. This form ofhousehold organization did not constrain women’s participation in the labour force. Today extended families remain the central organizing principle in Sne-nay-muxw lives. Sne-nay-muxw women’s identity and opportunities for education and employment remain linked to their membership in these families. Shifts in women’s participation in the labour force is shown to be accompanied by acceptance of a domestic ideology. During the mining economy when women actively sought wage labour, they acquired domestic skills needed for wage labour but did not accept an ideology that promoted their dependency upon men. Historical evidence indicates that they retained a significant degree of autonomy in their lives. With men’s increased security of employment in the forestry economy, the idealized role ofwomen as housewives was promoted. Families that were able to realize women’s exclusion from the labour force gained status and prestige in the community. Finally, in the service economy, the Sne-nay-muxw gender ideology includes women’s participation in the labour force to occupations linked to their domestic and nurturing roles.

Under a Watchful Eye: A Case Study of Police Surveillance During the 1930s - Lonardo, Michael (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
During the 1930s the Communist Party of Canada organized and promoted the working-class struggle against conditions resulting from the Depression. And while some have argued that the state's intelligence community paid little attention to the efforts of the communists between the wars, the evidence reveals a major operation on the part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to watch and suppress Communist Party activities. By tracing the involvement of World War I veteran and Communist Party activist, Stewart O'Neil, in four radical movements - the Workers Ex-Servicemen's League, the On-to-Ottawa trek, the workers' theatre movement, and the Spanish Civil War- this paper demonstrates the extent of, and the tactics used by, the RCMP in its surveillance and suppression of these radical movements.

Stressful Working Conditions and Union Dissatisfaction - Lowe, Graham S.; Northcott, Herbert C. (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
A study examines the relationship between stressful working conditions, social support at work, employee distress, and union members' (dis)satisfaction with their union. It might be assumed that under stressful working conditions, unionized workers would turn to their union to seek better working conditions and would have a positive orientation toward their union. However, it is also possible that stressful working conditions and distressed, alienated employees will become dissatisfied not only with their job but also with their union. The data for the study come from a survey of unionized postal workers employed by Canada Post Corporation in Edmonton in 1983.

Work, Wages and Welfare in Aboriginal-Non-Aboriginal Relations, British Columbia, 1849-1970 - Lutz, John S. (University of Ottawa, 1995)
This dissertation focuses on the work-for-pay exchange between aboriginal people and immigrants of European stock--the two most prominent cultural groups in the early history of British Columbia--and follows the patterns of this exchange from its origins through to the 1970s. It examines both the material and the rhetorical construction of the "Indian" as a part of British Columbia's labour force, a process described as racialization, and emphasizes, as well, the transformation of meaning inherent in cross-cultural exchange. It is a province-wide analysis, the core of which is a micro-history of one aboriginal group, the Songhees people, who live in the area now occupied by Victoria, the capital city. This examination challenges the long-standing view that aboriginal people were bystanders in the economic development and industrialization of British Columbia outside, and after, the fur trade. From the establishment of the Colony of Vancouver Island in 1849, through Confederation with Canada in 1871 and to the 1885 completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, aboriginal people comprised the majority of the population in present-day British Columbia, and the majority of the work force in agriculture, fishing, trapping and the burgeoning primary industries. This dissertation charts the subsequent decline in participation of aboriginal people in the capitalist economy from 1885 to 1970. Using a micro-historical study and close attention to aboriginal voices it offers a set of explanations for the changing proportions of work, both paid and unpaid, and state welfare payments. The micro-history reveals that the Songhees people engaged in two distinct but connected economies and were already familiar with forms of labour subordination prior to the European introduction of a capitalist economy. The Songhees participation in paid labour for Europeans was facilitated by these existing forms of labour organization and depended on the co-existence of their other economies; the Songhees used earnings from capitalist paid labour to expand their non-capitalist economies. After 1885, new state policies repressed the non-capitalist aboriginal economics and therefore diminished the underlying motivation for aboriginal participation in capitalist work. At the same time, an influx of labour-market competition and a variety of racialized laws and practices restricted the Songhees' ability to get work. Increasingly they were left with seasonal, low-skill and low-wage labour, a niche that maintained them so long as it was combined with a subsistence economy and involved the full participation of adult and adolescent family members. In the late 1940s and 1950s this pattern too was remade. Legal restrictions dramatically limited the subsistence economies; technological change curtailed the demand for seasonal labour in the canning, fishing and agricultural sectors, particularly affecting aboriginal women workers; and, compulsory schooling regulations began to reduce labour available to the family economy. At the same historic moment when the combined wage and subsistence economies ceased to be able to support them, the state extended some existing social welfare programs, such as Old Age Pension, to Indians, and expanded other programs, including Family Allowance, to all Canadians. In examining the patterns of aboriginal-non-aboriginal exchange relations over the long-term, this dissertation argues that high rates of unemployment and welfare-dependency among contemporary aboriginal communities are relatively recent historical phenomena, with observable roots and causes.

"A Modern Weapon for Modern Man": Marxist Masculinity and the Social Practices of the One Big Union, 1919-1924 - McCallum, Todd (Simon Fraser University, 1995)
In March 1919, more than 230 union representatives gathered in Calgary for the Western Labor Conference. There, they initiated plans for a revolutionary industrial organizatin, the One Big Union, which embodied the internationalist principles of Marxist unionism. Within its first year, the One Big Union (OBU) issued over 70,000 membership cards, and was a powerful symbol of working-class demands for the end of class exploitation. However, given its patriarchal inheritance, the OBU was always something more than just a class organization. It was an attempt by working men to organize around a specific sense of gender identity, which I have called Marxist masculinity, in order to reconstitute the social bases of male power. The first chapter outlines the events surrounding the creation of the OBU in 1919 and the wave of general strikes that swept through Canada that summer. In particular, it sketches the relationship between class politics and a masculine structure of feeling, and how this relationship influenced the OBU's ideology. The second chapter discusses three elements around which Marxist masculinity was constructed. To begin, the experiences of women in the OBU are situated in relation to the organization's policies regarding membership in individual unions and the Women's Auxilliary. As well, it examines the personal lives of OBU leaders and the naturalized assumptions about heterosexuality which governed their politics. The final chapter discusses the purge of Tom Cassidy and Catherine Rose, two dedicated activists fired because of rumours of their sexual involvement. The OBU leadership wanted to prevent a public moral panic around issues of "free love" and was thus determined to have the matter kept quiet. In taking this position, OBU leaders regulated the gender and sexual identities of union members through concepts of proper masculine and feminine socialist behaviour.

Ideal Surroundings: Domestic Life in a Working-Class Suburb in the 1920s - Morton, Suzanne (Studies in gender and history, 1995)
The 1920s are seen by historians as a crucial period in the formation of the Canadian working class. In Ideal Surroundings, Suzanne Morton looks at a single working-class community as it responded to national and regional changes. Grounded in labour and feminist history, with a strong emphasis on domestic life, this analysis focuses on the relationship between gender ideals and the actual experience of different family members. The setting is Richmond Heights, a working-class suburb of Halifax that was constructed following the 1917 explosion that devastated a large section of the city. The Halifax Relief Commission, specially formed to respond to this incident, generated a unique set of historical records that provides an unusually intimate glimpse of domestic life. Drawing on these and other archives, Morton uncovers many critical challenges to working-class ideals. The male world-view in particular were seriously destabilized as economic transformation and unemployment left many men without the means to support their families, and as the daughters of Richmond Heights increasingly left their class-defined jobs for service and clerical positions. Drawing on recent theoretical and empirical work, Morton expertly combines interpretive and narrative material, creating a vivid portrayal of class dynamics in this critical postwar era. Her focus on the home and domesticity marks and innovative move towards the integration of gender in the study of Canadian history. --Publisher's description

The Feminist Challenge to the Canadian Left, 1900-1918 - Newton, Janice (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1995)
Exploring the role of women and feminism in the early Canadian socialist movement, Janice Newton traces the growth and ultimate decline of feminist ideas within the Canadian Socialist League, the Socialist Party of Canada, and the Social Democratic Party. Newton argues that socialist women and their concerns posed a radical challenge to the male-dominated left. Early socialist women fought to be treated as equals and actively debated popular women's issues, including domestic work, women in industry, sexuality, and women's suffrage. They provided a unique and vibrant perspective on these issues and challenged the middle-class bias inherent in the women's movement. Broadening our understanding of Canadian social history, Newton analyses the intersection of two important social movements - the labour/socialist and the turn-of-the-century feminist movements - and draws conclusions that are essential for understanding the class and gender characteristics of social criticism and activism in this period. --Publisher's description

"We'll Hang All Policemen from a Sour Apple Tree!": Class, Law, and the Politics of State Power in the Blubber Bay Strike of 1938-39 - Parnaby, Andy (Simon Fraser University, 1995)
In the wake of President Roosevelt''s New Deal for labour in the United States, the International Woodworkers of America (IWA) experienced tremendous organizational growth in both Oregon and Washington. Fearing the arrival of the IWA in British Columbia, the provincial government enacted the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration (ICA) Act as a means to preserve the industrial peace through state regulation of the class struggle. It was at the company town of Blubber Bay on Texada Island that the Act was tested for the first time in an eleven-month strike [during1938-39] between Local 163 of the IWA and the Pacific Lime Company. With the failure of the legislation to broker a settlement, the union's campaign for recognition was subsequently enveloped by clashes over the common law rights of private property which limited workers' mobility in the community and the criminal laws of unlawful assembly that jailed strike leaders. Through an investigation of the state, company and union this project demonstrates that statutory, criminal and common laws in question were dedicated to the reproduction of capitalist social relations by regulating or eliminating the collective political activities of working people at Blubber Bay and, by extension, the arrival of the IWA in BC. As well, such struggles reveal the fundamentally conceptions of legality put forth by the union. Furthermore, this project illuminates the ways in which the expansion of formal collective bargaining contained class struggle and how the law and legal process shaped the political choices of working people. Indeed, the Blubble Bay conflict provides a window into the role of the state in labour/capital relations; in particular, its capacity through consent and coercion to legitimize its role as arbiter of competing class interests, secure allegiance to the rule of law, and diffuse oppositional challenges to the existing order.

Le mythe français de la modernisation - Rozenblatt, Patrick (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)

L'article étudie comment émergent, dans les actions engagées autour des licenciements et des reconversions d'emploi, les éléments essentiels constitutifs d'un mythe des temps modernes énonçant la capacité des élites à produire une modernisation régulée de nos sociétés industrielles. L'auteur approche cette question en l'insérant dans le cadre plus large d'une sociologie du temps social.

Interpreting Their Powerlessness: The Case of Filipino Domestic Workers in Vancouver - Sanchez, Grace B. (University of British Columbia, 1995)
This thesis points to an oversight in the literature about foreign domestic workers. Foreign domestic workers have, too often, been portrayed as one-dimensional victims — a group of powerless women vainly struggling for a respectable place in Canadian society. This portrayal, however, while it can explain their disadvantage along class and gender analyses, assumes a concept of power which dismisses their ability to resist. This thesis argues that foreign domestic workers, although occupying a highly disadvantaged position relative to others in society, are not only victims but actors. This argument acknowledges that their lives in Canada are only part of their grander life histories. When foreign domestic workers are placed at the centre of analysis, as subjects rather than objects, I was able to investigate a multifaceted notion of power. Fifteen foreign domestic workers from the Philippines were interviewed and specific questions were asked about their day to day lives, their background, and their ambitions. Their answers reveal a profound understanding of who they are as women, and as domestic workers. Some clearly understand the connections between the economic crisis in the Philippines and their role in that crisis. The interviews also show that domestic workers contemplated their situations beyond the present, and that they recount their lives in episodes of opportunities as well as constraints. Finally, what is most revealing is the strategies they employ to get through their days. Overall, the interviews with foreign domestic workers illustrate that when they are viewed as active social agents, they articulate power at various levels corresponding with their overlapping social roles and multiple levels of struggle.

Beyond Dichotomies: Re-Assessing Gender History and Women's History in Canada - Sangster, Joan (Left History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Historical Inquiry and Debate, 1995)
Canadian women's history, though relatively new in the history of the profession, is now considered by some to be passé, past its prime, out of touch with the realities of the postmodern world of the 1990s. In fact, there is also a new interpretation of the historical evolution of Canadian women's history emerging, which situates women's history in the one dimensional past, gender history in the three dimensional future. ...[W]e need to re-examine the Canadian women's history which was actually written over the last twenty years as well as the current direction of gender history, then assess the theoretical and political underpinnings of both. We may actually find more overlapping continuities, similarities and problems. --Introduction than stark contrasts and oppositions.

Earning Respect: The Lives of Working Women in Small-Town Ontario, 1920-1960 - Sangster, Joan (Studies in Gender and History, 1995)
Between 1920 and 1960 wage-earning women in factories and offices experienced dramatic shifts in their employment conditions, the result of both the Depression and the expansion of work opportunities during the Second World War. Earning Respect examines the lives of white and blue-collar women workers in Peterborough during this period and notes the emerging changes in their work lives, as working daughters gradually became working mothers. Joan Sangster focuses in particular on four large workplaces, examining the gendered division of labour, women's work culture, and the forces that encouraged women's accommodation and resistance on the job. She also connects women's wage work to their social and familial lives and to the larger community context, exploring wage-earning women's 'identities,' their attempts to cope with economic and family crises, the gendered definitions of working-class respectability, and the nature of paternalism in a small Ontario manufacturing city. Sangster draws upon oral histories as well as archival research as she traces the construction of class and gender relations in 'small town' industrialized Ontario in the mid-twentieth century. She uses this local study to explore key themes and theoretical debate in contemporary women's and working-class history. --Publisher's description

Women Workers, Employment Policy and the State: The Establishment of the Ontario Women's Bureau, 1963-1970 - Sangster, Joan (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
In 1963, the Ontario Government established a Women's Bureau within the Department of Labour to do research, public relations work, and policy development relating to working women in the province. This article examines the early evolution of the Women's Bureau from 1963 to 1970 assessing the reasons for its establishment and the successes and failures of its early programs designed to aid working women. The Bureau urged the government to consider anti-discrimination legislation, and in 1970 it helped to develop new legislation designed to enhance women's equality by legalizing maternity leave, banning discrimination based on marital status, and abolishing job posting by sex. Drawing on recent debates about the state and employment policy, particularly those looking at the relationship between feminist and labour activists and the state, this article asks whose interests the Bureau represented, and whether or not this state-initiated legislation designed to enhance gender equality was effective, either in the short or long term.

Managers' and Workers' Attitudes Toward Unions in the U.s. and Canada - Saporta, Ishak; Lincoln, Bryan (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Current arguments about the causes of differing union density rates in the US and Canada range from public opinion hypothesis and differences in labor law, to increased US managerial hostility. Survey data on managers' and workers' attitudes in the 2 countries are used to examine the competing arguments. Using questions that probe opinions toward various aspects of union-firm relations, it is found that managers' attitudes in the 2 countries do not differ. This finding suggests that increased US managerial hostility is not the cause of the divergent unionization rates. US workers are the most militant of the 4 groups, with Canadian workers in the middle, between managers and US workers.

Industrial Conflict in Developed and Developing Countries: Extending a Western Strike Model - Segalla, Michael (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
A study tests a macroeconomic strike model widely used to study the incidence of labor conflict in developed countries on data from the world-at-large. Previous investigations of the influence of labor demand and worker wage expectations on strike frequency have produced contradictory results. Perhaps one reason for this is that these studies have left out all but the most developed countries and have rarely been comparative. The study uses a data set that includes data for 41 countries (approximately half of which are considered developing) from 1953-1985.

L'adaptation des superviseurs à la gestion participative de la prévention des accidents - Simard, Marcel; Marchand, Alain (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Cet article porte sur les approches utilisées dans les organisations pour amener les superviseurs à adopter un mode de gestion plus participatif de la sécurité au travail avec leurs employés. Les données présentées sont basées sur cinq études de cas réalisées selon un devis commun et analysées de façon comparative. Utilisant l'approche systémique du changement organisationnel, les auteurs développent le concept de stratégie de changement pour analyser les approches organisationnelles observées, en faisant l'hypothèse que ce sont les stratégies plus systématiques qui auront comme effets d'accroître l'utilisation de la gestion participative de la prévention par les superviseurs, et de réduire le taux de fréquence des accidents. Les résultats confirment largement les hypothèses, mais l'analyse montre aussi que les stratégies non efficaces, au plan des effets escomptés, ont néanmoins une fonction d'utilité qui est discutée.

Against Capital: The Political Economy of Aboriginal Resistance in Canada - Simmons, Deborah Lee (York University, 1995)
This thesis evolved out of an attempt to analyze aboriginal agency and resistance in the aftermath of the Mohawk conflict at Oka, Quebec, which took place in the summer of 1990. However, the existing political economy literature on aboriginal oppression founded in the "staple theory" outlined by Harold Adams Innis does not account for the historical significance of aboriginal resistance in Canada. The thesis undertakes a critique of the inherent assumptions in staple theory--its anthropologism, its fetish of the commodity form, and its geographical determinism--which effectively reduce aboriginal peoples to the position of passive victims in contemporary capitalist society. An alternative historiography is then proposed which considers Canadian economic and political development as the outcome of struggle. The agency of aboriginal peoples is understood in terms of their specific and changing historical position as producers, from the early fur trade to the forging of a capitalist economy and post-colonial state. If the rise of commodity wheat production is the key to the transition to capitalism in Canada, it follows that the aboriginal struggle to retain their land rights was an important obstacle to such development. The aboriginal struggle for land continues to be an obstacle to capitalist expansion; in the current context of economic integration under the North American Free Trade Agreement, such resistance has international implications. In the current climate of scapegoating and cutbacks which accompany the restructuring process, aboriginal aspirations for land and self-determination also coincide with the aims of other social movements to oppose such attacks. In fact, aboriginal self-determination is central to the broader project for social change in Canada.

Collective Bargaining and Pay Equity: A Study of Pay Equity Bargaining in Two Canadian Provinces - Skipton, Susan Margaret (University of Warwick, 1995)
The aim of this study was to explore the interrelationship between collective bargaining and pay equity. A qualitative case study methodology was used. Eighty-six interviews were conducted with union and management pay equity negotiators, labour lawyers, Pay Equity Commission Review Officers, and other informants. A collection of documentary evidence supplemented these interviews. The empirical work focused on explaining issues of structure, style and power in pay equity bargaining and the complex intertwinings of the structural properties of gender and class were considered crucial to an explanation of these. The key structural dynamic in the negotiation of pay equity was found to be the degree and effectiveness of a labour-feminist politic combined with employer/state commitment, which are themselves interconnected and represent the transformative face of gender and class power relations. The thesis, in providing a theoretically informed discussion of detailed case study material, contributes towards the debate on the effectiveness of collective bargaining as a vehicle for implementing equal pay policy. It also informs the debate on labour-management cooperation in labour relations, especially in public sector collective bargaining. Because legislated pay equity is bargained within a new set of legal parameters, the study may also aid our understanding of the relationship between collective bargaining and the law. Finally, the thesis attempts to unravel the interwoven complexities of gender and class power relations in the collective bargaining process.

"We Are Only Loggers": Loggers and the Struggle for Development in Newfoundland, 1929-1959 - Sutherland, Dufferin (Simon Fraser University, 1995)
A poor but independent Dominion in the British Empire until 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador is now Canada's poorest province. This thesis argues that capital's uneven development of Newfoundland helps to explain its economic, social, and political troubles in this century. The uneven course of development left Newfoundland with an archaic fishery, enclaves of modern industry dependent on outport labour and external forces, and a state which lacked sufficient resources to save itself or its people during the Great Depression. The uneven pattern of development also impeded the full development of a proletariat which might have challenged the island's dominant interests and created a more equal and prosperous society. The outcome of these "developments" was confederation with Canada and enduring economic and social problems. Focusing on the period 1929-1959, the thesis develops this argument through a study of the pulp and paper industry, one of Newfoundland's major land-based enterprises in this century. It reveals that forest capital's reliance on seasonal outport labour in its woods operations propped up merchant operations in the inshore fishery. Merchant capital profited from fishers' work in the woods as wages paid debts and purchased fishing and consumption supplies. Throughout the period, the Newfoundland state defended forest capital's interests, and not incidentally the course of uneven development. It did so because the industry's mills and company towns were among the few successes of a national policy to diversify an economy dependent on the export of a single staple. Forest capital exploited fabled interior resources and employed thousands in its mills and woodlands which reduced pressure on an unproductive fishery and on a state often burdened with heavy relief bills. Although Newfoundland loggers confronted the combined power of capital and the state, they struggled to resist their exploitation and to improve the lives of their households and communities. In this way, they challenged the course of development in Newfoundland. During the 1930s, loggers staged strikes and joined Newfoundland's first loggers' union. In 1940, disruptive class conflict ended when forest capital and the state spearheaded the creation of the Woods Labour Board. The Board, which included representatives of capital, labour, and the state, inaugurated a conservative period of class collaboration, and continuous production until the tumultuous 1959 International Woodworkers of America strike. During the 1940s and 1950s, the Board helped forest capital accumulate profits in an industry dominated by Fordist-like production forces in the mills and primitive production forces in the woods. The Board's downward pressure on wages and conditions, union representatives separated from their members, and a work force dominated by outport fishers who continued to require seasonal wages, explains the 1959 conflagration. The dissertation concludes that the loggers' 1959 defeat by the combined forces of capital and state followed an historical pattern determined by the uneven pattern of development. This pattern, therefore, helps to explain enduring poverty in outport Newfoundland and the difficulties workers faced to challenge the conditions of their existence.

Le monopole nord-américain de représentation syndicale à la croisée des chemins - Trudeau, Gilles; Veilleux, Diane (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
Plusieurs spécialistes notent l'affaiblissement de la recherche en relations industrielles en Amérique du Nord. Un aspect important fut le déplacement de l'intérêt envers les institutions et les processus vers l'étude des individus. Des disciplines telles le comportement organisationnel et l'économique du travail ont progressé. Un autre développement fut la croissance de la gestion des ressources humaines (GRH) qui a défié l'approche traditionnelle, axée sur l'étude du syndicalisme et de la négociation collective. Cet article présente une situation différente en Grande-Bretagne. Il s'agit d'un essai interprétatif et sélectif basé sur le développement de la recherche. Il ne s'agit pas ici d'examiner des questions théoriques plus larges. Une vue théorique est cependant implicite : la recherche a avancé par un programme progressif d'analyse et cela a produit de nouvelles connaissances. On peut de loin être plus optimiste quant à l'état de la discipline que ne le suggèrent certaines évaluations récentes de la théorie. La force de la recherche britannique reflète plusieurs développements. D'abord, les chercheurs institutionnalistes et pluralistes britanniques ont été plus flexibles dans la définition de leur sujet que ne l'ont été leurs collègues américains. Cela leur a permis d'aborder les sujets associés à la nature de la relation d'emploi, plus particulièrement la négociation continue des dispositions du contrat de travail. Ensuite, l'absence d'obligation légale d'appliquer les conventions a laissé beaucoup de sujets à être réglés au niveau de l'atelier. Cela signifie que les relations de négociation sont demeurées centrales. Finalement, le résultat fut que la tradition d'études de cas est demeurée plus significative qu'en Amérique du Nord. Cette orientation de la recherche a permis aux relations industrielles de contrer le double défi de la croissance de la GRH et du changement dans les politiques publiques, lesquels mettaient en cause les conceptions traditionnelles quant à la valeur de la négociation collective. La conception même de notre champ de recherche a évolué vers la relation d'emploi plutôt que le fonctionnement de la négociation collective. De là, les chercheurs étaient bien placés pour examiner ce que la GRH signifiait en pratique et comment on expérimentait de nouvelles initiatives sur les lieux de travail. Cette approche est illustrée en considérant l'évolution de la méthode d'études de cas et l'éclairage particulier que la recherche en relations industrielles a jeté sur la nature du management. Les études de cas ont de plus en plus fait le lien entre le détail du site à l'étude et des questions plus larges sur la gestion des entreprises et les généralisations pouvant en être tirées. La méthode s'est aussi développée par l'étude comparative et par une plus grande utilisation de techniques d'entrevues structurées. Sur le management, l'emphase que mettent les chercheurs en relations industrielles sur la négociation et le conflit favorise une analyse différente des politiques de gestion. Cela inclut la conceptualisation du processus de gestion et des études empiriques sur les pratiques des gestionnaires. Ces travaux empiriques ont appuyé une analyse critique de la GRH reliant celle-ci a ses contextes et explorant son rôle symbolique. Les chercheurs britanniques se penchent de plus en plus sur des sujets européens et comparatifs. Les bénéfices de la tradition d'études de cas sont ici substantiels puisqu'elle permet d'explorer la dynamique de différents systèmes de régulation du travail. Cependant, la recherche doit rencontrer de nouveaux défis. Peut-on solutionner les difficultés théoriques et pratiques associées aux études transnationales ? De façon plus générale, à mesure que les relations industrielles ouvrent leur champ d'intérêt au management et aux questions internationales, de nouvelles questions de recherche seront soulevées. Évoluer dans cette voie, tout en conservant les forces traditionnelles de la discipline, représente un défi significatif.

The Westray Mine Disaster and Its Aftermath: The Politics of Causation - Tucker, Eric (Canadian Journal of Law and Society/La Revue Canadienne Droit et Société, 1995)
Causation analysis is densely political in at least three ways. First, because causation is crucial to our system of attributing moral, legal, and political responsibility, causation arguments are advanced for purely instrumental purposes. They do political work. Second, because any particular occurrence is the outcome of an almost infinite number of antecedent events, “but for” causation analysis produces trivial results. A judgment about causal significance is required and will depend, in part, on the goals of the analysis. The choice of goals is political, but unstated goals and hidden assumptions often exclude consideration of some possible causes as significant. Theses politics of causation need to be made explicit. Third, the institutional setting in which official determinations of causation are made influence the outcome. Hence, it is necessary to explore these as well. Each of these three dimensions of the politics of causation is explored through an analysis of the 1992 Westray Mine disaster which killed 29 miners in Nova Scotia, and the official responses to it. It is argued that if the goal is to protect workers and nothing else, the political-economic context that promotes the creation of hazardous conditions must be considered a significant cause of harmful occurrences. It is unlikely, however that any of the official responses to the disaster will take this approach.

The Impact of Layoff Announcements on Shareholders - Ursel, Nancy; Armstrong-Stassen, Marjorie (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
A study explores the reaction of shareholders to layoff announcements. Shareholders' reactions to 137 layoff announcements by 57 Canadian firms over the period January 1989 to August 1992 were examined. Shareholders are found to react negatively to announcements of a layoff in their company. Shareholders have a greater negative reaction to a company's first layoff than to subsequent layoff announcements. Moreover, shareholders respond more negatively to large-scale layoffs than to those involving small percentages of the workforce. The implications of these findings for human resource management are discussed.

La nature juridique de l'ancienneté en droit du travail : une comparaison des droits québécois et français - Vallée, Guylaine (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
L'ancienneté du salarié est une notion présente dans plusieurs systèmes de relations du travail. Cette commune importance de l'ancienneté conduit à étudier sa nature juridique en débordant les cadres d'un système particulier. Après avoir examiné les thèses dominantes quant à la nature juridique de l'ancienneté du salarié en France et au Québec et avoir décrit les diverses manifestations de l'ancienneté dans ces deux systèmes, l'auteur conclut que l'ancienneté du salarié est une notion individualiste fondée sur l'appartenance à l'entreprise ou sur l'existence d'un lien contractuel avec l'employeur.

Analyse du travail répétitif dans le secteur agro-alimentaire : apport de la démarche ergonomique - Vézina, Nicole; Courville, Julie; Geoffrion, Lucie; Chatigny, Céline (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1995)
L'analyse du travail répétitif dans le secteur agro-alimentaire se fait dans le contexte de l'augmentation des problèmes musculo- squelettiques. L'approche de l'ergonome est abordée au travers d'études dans ce secteur, en particulier dans une usine de transformation de la volaille. L'intervention ergonomique axée sur l'amélioration des situations de travail nécessite l'implication et la participation des différents partenaires dans l'entreprise. L'analyse de l'activité de travail et l'implication des travailleurs dans l'interprétation des résultats fait ressortir la complexité du travail répétitif. La mise en valeur du savoir des travailleurs et la recherche d'une compréhension élargie du travail au-delà des aspects physiques apparaissent essentielles à la formulation de recommandations et à la revalorisation du métier.

To Be Free Full-Time: The Challenge of Work - Wayman, Tom (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
Argues that there is a taboo surrounding the human experience of work and the work place, with a corresponding silence in poetry and fiction. Asserts that this is not because work is boring, but because people are in a state of unfreedom at work, which also impacts on their effective participation as citizens. Discusses the problems with work place democracy, while arguing that freedom should nevertheless be considered a full-time, not a part-time matter. The paper, which was originally given at the 1994 Sitka Symposium on the spirit of human work, is punctuated with quotations from the author's writings.

Social Movement Activism in the Formation of Ontario New Democratic Party Policy on Abortion, 1982-1984 - Weir, Lorna (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
The conflict within the Ontario New Democratic Party during 1982-1984 on the question of setting party policy in support of the feminist campaign for free-standing abortion clinics is used as a case study to develop three aspects of social movement theory: alliance and conflict systems, radical flank effects, and social movement-political party relations. A previously undocumented radical flank effect is proposed. an inequality effect, arising under conditions when the distinction between radical and dominant sectors of a social movement align with a form of fundamental social inequality. The inequality effect is consequential for creating a distinction in the alliance and conflict systems of the radical and dominant sectors of the movement. It is suggested that the relation of Canadian social democracy to social movements be read as a dynamic tension between constituency representation and brokerage politics.

Origins of Canada's Wagner Model of Industrial Relations: The United Auto Workers in Canada and the Suppression of "Rank and File" Unionism, 1936-1953 - Wells, Donald M. (The Canadian Journal of Sociology / Cahiers canadiens de sociologie, 1995)
Focusing on the origins of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) in Canada during the 1940s, this study analyzes the evolution of a work-centred, "rank and file" model of unionism into a top-down model of economistic unionism centred on collective bargaining and the stabilization of labour-management relations in the workplace. In order to attain organizational security, UAW leaders turned to state elites. The main price of employer and state acceptance of such security was the union leaders' agreement to suppress worker "direct action." This tradeoff has helped to shape the current limits of trade union mobilization in Canada. --Publisher's description

The Impact of the Postwar Compromise on Canadian Unionism: The Formation of an Auto Worker Local in the 1950s - Wells, Don (Labour / Le Travail, 1995)
At the heart of Canada's "Fordist" class compromise after World War II lay a new unionism which reinforced managerial control in the workplace. By repudiating rank-and-file initiatives against various dimensions of management control of the labour process, the new unionism displaced a potentially transformative kind of unionism that arose during the war. The significance of this transition is explored through a comparative examination of the relations between union leaders and members at two autoworker locals, one of which exemplified the ran-and-file-oriented local unionism of the war years, the other the new centralized unionism which came in its wake. It is argued that this transition to a new unionism was a key contributor to the marginalization of class-based politics in Canada after the war.

1919: The Winnipeg General Strike Reconsidered - Bumsted, J. M. (The Beaver, 1994)
The year 1994 marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike, one of the best-known events in modern Canadian history. It also marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the composition of a lengthy history of the strike from the strikers' perspective which was first published in 1920... Much of the subsequent historical writing about the strike has treated this complex event along the lines first developed in the strikers' own history. The result has been the emergence of a monolithic and somewhat one-dimensional view of the strike. The account which follows examines in detail only a few of the more important components of this fascinating event. It attempts to introduce some multiple perspectives and perhaps to raise some new questions. --Introduction

Unions and Economic Restructuring: Introduction - Bélanger, Jacques; Murray, Gregor (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1994)
The extent and the scope of organizational and technological innovations currently being introduced by many firms present important challenges of adjustment for the union movement. While working to renew their own collective strength, unions must also define their position with regard to new forms of work organization. Current mutations in identities both at work and beyond raise pressing questions about the relationship between the union and its members, particularly the capacity of unions to represent increasingly diverse groups of workers. The question of the link between identity at work and social cohesion will probably be exacerbated in the coming years because the current changes in the organization of work and the management of production are likely to have increasingly significant repercussions on the post-war institutional compromise in the workplace.

The British Collier in British Columbia: Another Archetype Reconsidered - Belshaw, John Douglas (Labour / Le Travail, 1994)
It is a widely held axiom of British Columbia' s labour history that the province' s radical tradition originated among immigrant British workers who formed the social bedrock of Vancouver Island's coaltowns in the 19th century. This paper challenges the stereotype of the British BC worker in the last century by balancing the post-immigration experience against the pre-emigration vocabulary of work, class, race, and politics. I conclude that insofar as a British fountainhead is significant for BC's political history it is in the diffusion of class solidarity to competing claimants for political support. The legacy of the British collier on Vancouver Island was not one of monolithic radicalism or even Labourism; instead it was one of conflicting inclinations which were as politically divisive for labour in Britain as they were on Canada's west coast.

Canadian Labour History: Selected Readings - Bercuson, David Jay (New Canadian readings, 1994)
The second edition of Canadian Labour History invites the reader to enter the debate that has made this field of study such a dynamic one in the past two decades. Covering the period from 1840 to 1980, these essays focus on a variety of Canadian regions demonstrating the similarities and differences of regional experiences. Similarly, alternate approaches to a single event-the Winnipeg General Strike-illustrate the diversity in the interpretation of labour history. --Publisher's description.

Les facteurs explicatifs de la propension à se syndiquer dans les services privés - Bergeron, Jean-Guy (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1994)
Au Canada, le secteur des services privés, qui compte 40,4 % de la main-d’œuvre, n'a qu'une densité syndicale de 10,7 % comparativement à 37,9 % pour le secteur privé des biens (26,9 % de la main-d’œuvre) et 58,6 % pour le secteur public (32,7 % de la main-d’œuvre). Notre enquête démontre pourtant que près de 40 % des travailleurs non syndiqués des services privés des villes de Montréal et de Toronto désirent se syndiquer. Les facteurs explicatifs les plus importants de cette propension à se syndiquer sont les attitudes envers les syndicats, l'influence du groupe informel de travail, la solidarité avec les travailleurs et la satisfaction au travail. Les implications de cette enquête pour les acteurs du système de relations industrielles sont explorées.

Perceptions et attitudes à l'égard des ressources humaines : le cas de l'alimentation au détail au Québec - Blais, René (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1994)
Le facteur humain est un sujet de préoccupation constant pour les chefs d'entreprise. La turbulence de l'environnement force les entreprises à s'adapter aux changements de façon à se prémunir contre les menaces et à profiter des opportunités. La littérature en gestion des ressources humaines suggère que la perception d'un degré élevé de turbulence de l'environnement pousse les dirigeants d'entreprises à percevoir favorablement les ressources humaines. Nous avons exploré cette hypothèse auprès des propriétaires-dirigeants de supermarchés d'alimentation québécois.

Tendances récentes de la négociation collective dans l'industrie du papier au Québec - Bourque, Reynald; Rioux, Claude (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1994)
Cet article examine les développements récents de la négociation collective et de l'organisation du travail dans l'industrie québécoise du papier. L'analyse des négociations menées ces dernières années par les syndicats du papier affiliés à la CSN révèle le caractère central des stratégies de flexibilisation du travail chez les employeurs, et de protection de l'emploi du côté syndical. La flexibilité fonctionnelle constitue l'aspect essentiel des changements en cours dans cette industrie depuis la fin des années 1980, les employeurs cherchant à améliorer l'efficacité productive par une rationalisation des tâches et une réduction des emplois. Dans certaines usines, la réorganisation du travail a suscité un renouveau de l'action syndicale à travers l'implication des salariés et de leur syndicat dans la gestion de l'entreprise.

Le Code civil du Québec et la Loi sur les normes du travail : convergence ou divergence? - Brière, Jean-Yves (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1994)
Quelles seront les incidences du nouveau Code civil sur la Loi sur les normes du travail ? De même que sa réciproque, quel sera l'effet de la Loi sur les normes sur l'interprétation des dispositions du Code ? Cette relation synergique qui devra s'établir entre les textes des deux législations fait l'objet de la présente étude. Cette analyse est à la fois comparative et prospective. L'auteur a retenu six points de comparaison : la prééminence des textes, la notion de salarié, le service continu, la rupture du lien d'emploi, le certificat de travail et l'aliénation d'entreprise.

The Effect of Multinational Institutions on Strike Activity in Canada - Budd, John W. (Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1994)
The author estimates the influence of foreign corporate ownership and international unionism on strike activity in Canadian manufacturing between 1965 and 1985, controlling for several other determinants of strike activity that were largely ignored in previous studies. He finds, contrary to the results of other studies, that the incidence and duration of strikes did not differ significantly between foreign-owned and domestically owned firms or between international and national unions. Strike incidence was significantly lower, however, among unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO than among unions affiliated with a Canadian federation.

Reviewing the Past and Looking to the Future: Activists Reminisce at the Mine Mill Centennial Conference Sudbury, May 1993 - Buse, Dieter K.; Steedman, Mercedes (Labour / Le Travail, 1994)
The article introduces the edited transcript of sessions of the Mine Mill Centennial Conference held in Sudbury, Ontario, in May 1993. The conference, which commemorated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' Union, was attended by 200 people including union stewards, academics, labour leaders, and retired workers. The sessions provided a forum for retired activists to reflect on their lifetime of experience in the union movement as well as to address current political concerns. Themes included the union and communism, the union in the community, relations with other unions, women in the labour movement (notably the Mine Mill Women's Auxiliary), political activism, and the path forward for working people and organized labour. Brief biographies of the presenters are also provided.

"Not as a White Man, Not as a Sojourner": James A. Teit and the Fight for Native Rights in British Columbia, 1884-1922 - Campbell, J. Peter (Left History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Historical Inquiry and Debate, 1994)
James Teit played a key role in the native rights movement in British Columbia, and he spearheaded the attempt to bring greater unity to the movement by struggling for the unity of natives and non-natives, and the unity of the interior and coast native peoples. It is simply impossible to understand the history of the native rights movement in British Columbia in the first two decades of the twentieth century without understanding the role played by James Teit. --From Introduction
