Syndicalisme «parcellaire» et syndicalisme «collectif» : Une Interprétation socio-technique des conflits ouvriers dans deux industries québécoises, 1880-1914 - Ferland, Jacques (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
Cette analyse cherche à démontrer que plusieurs manifestations de «nouveau syndicalisme» semblables à celles observées en Angleterre et dans d'autres régions canadiennes, surgirent du mouvement ouvrier québécois au tournant du vingtième siècle. C'est en raison de leur position particulière au sein du procès de travail que les tisseurs et les tisseuses, ainsi que d'autres ouvriers du coton «semi-qualifiés» donnèrent une dimension -multilatérale» à leurs grèves, de sorte que les conflits de travail eurent tendance à se déployer au-delà d'une seule tâche productive ou des seuls travailleurs qualifiés. Comparativement, les ouvriers en chaussures évoluèrent dans une environnement productif beaucoup plus «parcellisé» et leur lutte surgit et concerna essentiellement les ouvriers masculins les plus qualifiés et leurs fraternités respectives, dans la tradition du syndicalisme de métiers de l'ère victorienne.

La mobilité professionnelle des travailleurs de l'aluminium à Arvida, 1925-1940 - Igartua, José E. (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
L'industrialisation des régions périphériques du Canada est un processus encore mal connu. La venue de l'Alcan à Arvida, au Saguenay, constitue un bel exemple. A l'aide des dossiers du personnel, cet article décrit en premier lieu l'évolution de la structure des professions au complexe industriel de l'Alcan de ses débuts en 1925 jusqu'à 1940. Il montre ensuite la constitution d'un noyau de travailleurs stables à travers le roulement élevé de la main-d'oeuvre au cours des premières années; ce processus résulte à la fois des sélections opérées par l'employeur, des départs volontaires et de l'effet de la Crise. Parmi les travailleurs stables, qui forment le gros des effectifs pour l'ensemble de la période, on remarque un taux assez élevé de mobilité professionnelle au sein de l'entreprise.

Everything That Floats: Pat Sullivan, Hal Banks, and the Seamen's Unions of Canada - Kaplan, William (University of Toronto Press, 1987)
"I will soon be in the dubious position of being the top labor man in all of Canada," Hal Chamberlain Banks wrote home in April 1949, "but let me tell you that I now know that uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Hal Banks, an ex-convict and representative of the Searfarers' International Union of North America, was by nature a boastful man, but there was more than a little truth to what he wrote. Financed by the shipping companies and assisted by the federal government, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Canadian National Railways Police, Banks, along with a small army of SIU strongmen imported from the United States, had, in a matter of months, waged and won a violent battle against the long-established national Canadian Seaman's Union. With only a few companies outside the SIU's orbit, Banks controlled the collective bargaining rights of almost every seaman employed on the Canadian flag fleet and, with an iron fist, would do so for more than a decade. Eventually Banks's activities would be investigated by a commission of inquiry and, facing imprisonment, he would be forced to flee Canada in disgrace. In 1949 the situation was much different. ...How and why Banks and the SIU arrived in Canada is the first part of this story. --Author's preface

The Role of the Duty of Fair Representation in Union Grievance Decisions - Knight, Thomas R. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
This article reports the results of a survey of union staff representatives regarding the impact of the duty of fair representation on grievance handling. The survey confirmed previous research results suggesting that fair representation complaints are frequently reflective of political factionalism within unions or a measure of economic decisions adversely affecting individuals rather than a sign of inadequate representation by unions. It was also found that grievors' exploitation ofthe doctrine does at times cause unions to process unmeritorious grievances, increasing the cost of contract administration to ail parties.

Le Bordel: Milieu De Travail Contrôlé - Lévesque, Andrée (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
Pendant longtemps, des milliers de femmes gagnèrent leur vie dans des bordels à Montréal. L'étude de leur milieu de travail pendant les années vingt et trente révèle une organisation hiérarchique et des conditions dont le contrôle échappait aux principales intéressées. L'appareil judiciaire et policier, les organisations de réformes sociales, le clergé et les médecins hygiénistes affectaient, par la tolérance ou la répression, le cadre dans lequel s'exerçait la prostitution. Plus directement, les souteneurs, les tenancières et leurs gérantes déterminaient les conditions quotidiennes de travail. Les changements observés pendant toute cette période sont plus imputables à la vigilance policière qu'aux fluctuations économiques ou aux efforts des travailleuses elles-mêmes.

Co-operation and Conflict: The CCF and the Canadian Congress of Labour in Saskatchewan, 1944-1956 - Lindsay, Robert A. (University of Saskatchewan, 1987)
The purpose of this study is to examine CCF-CCL relations in the Saskatchewan public service during the early years of the government of Tommy Douglas. While much has been written about the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL), both as separate organizations and as political 'allies', little has been said about their relations in Saskatchewan. Yet, the CCF formed the government in Saskatchewan for five consecutive terms between 1944 and 1964, and it was in this agrarian province that the true test of the CCF-CCL relationship occurred. Saskatchewan was the one location where unions that supported the CCF were faced with a social democratic government which was also their employer. The difficulty the two sides encountered while trying to reconcile industrial relations with their political relations forms the subject of this study.

Organizations, Participation and Recession: An Analysis of Recent Evidence - Long, Richard J.; Warner, Malcolm (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)

The authors conclude that the current recession has served as a catalyst to force many organizations and their members to recognize that traditional management approaches and resulting employee responses have become increasingly inadequate in the light of wider social changes, and that there is more support for an «evolutionary ratchet» as opposed to a «cyclical» notion of participation.

Class Conflict in a Prairie City: The Saskatoon Working-Class Response to Prairie Capitalism, 1906-19 - Makahonuk, Glen (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
Although a great deal has been written about the western Canadian working class in the first two decades of the twentieth century, there is still a need to examine the nature of the labour-capital relations in a small prairie city like Saskatoon. Even though the Saskatoon working class lived and worked in an agricultural economy, it was far from being passive and conservative in ils relationship with the ruling class, especially in the period that led to the labour revolt of 1919. This relationship was based on class conflict, similar to what other workers were experiencing on a national and international basis. Class conflict was not restricted to the workpalce, for it also involved the working-class community when it came to matters of unemployment, living conditions. inflation, and the tragedies of war which enhanced the evils of capitalism. The Saskatoon working class issued both an economic and political response to prairie capitalism which included an astute understanding of the rules of the game and a form of radical politics which aimed at a transformation of society.

Shipbuilding at Quebec, 1763-1893: The Square Rigger Trade - Marcil, Eileen Reid (Université Laval, 1987)
From the seventeenth century on, deforestation due to the abusive use of wood by the iron industry, excessive naval construction and the extraordinary demand for timber for reconstruction following the Great Fire of London in 1666 led increasingly to the construction of British merchant ships in her North American colonies. Following American Independence, vessels built in the thirteen colonies were no longer entitled to British Registry, and shipbuilders in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces were able to take full advantage of the British demand. When Napoleon blockaded the Baltic, thereby endangering the British supply of timber from northern Europe, a fast-growing Canadian timber trade served as a tremendous stimulus to local shipbuilding. This is a study of the construction of square riggers at Quebec between 1763 and 1893, as revealed principally by the shipping registers of the port, notarial records, Lloyd's Survey Reports, newspaper advertisements and reports, city directories and census reports. It describes the historical background of the trade and local conditions affecting it, identifies the Quebec shipbuilders, pinpointing when and where they worked, describes the shipyards and various aspects of the shipbuilding business, takes a look at the workers and the specialized shipbuilding trades and outlines the techniques they used. It describes and classifies the vessels that were built giving details of their materials and equipment, and looks briefly at their purchasers. The writer concludes that the production of the Quebec shipyards filled a specific need for spacious, light, fast carriers, until the third quarter of the nineteenth century when improved metallurgical technology allowed their place to be taken by metal-hulled ships. The main appendices contain a collection of plans of shipyard sites and lists of the sixteen hundred and thirty vessels of over one hundred tons built at Quebec and four hundred and sixty-seven others built elsewhere on the river, all of which were registered at Quebec. No complete plans of ships built at Quebec were uncovered during the research, but a number of drawings of construction details and mid-ship section plans form another appendix.

Newfoundland Labour and World War I: The Emergence of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers' Association - McInnis, Peter S. (Peter Stuart) (Memorial University, 1987)
The story of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers' Association (NIWA) is one which has largely been passed over in the writing of the island's labour history. Yet this organization figures prominently in the events which helped shape the labour-capital relationship during the World War I years. As the Canadian and international record will testify, these years were critically important to the development of modern working-class organizations, while maintaining a direct link to the previous struggles of an earlier era. Centred in St. John's, but exerting an Island-wide influence, the NIWA arose out of a pressing need for working people to confront the economic and political realities of their class in a manner intended to redress the subservient and exploitive circumstances to which they were subjected. This thesis examines the NIWA in terms of its structure, membership, and mandate and attempts to place this movement into the larger context of the international labour revolt of 1917 to 1920. In doing so, it argues that class formation, development, and conflict is central to history.

The Boys in the Nova Scotian Coal Mines:: 1873 to 1923 - McIntosh, Robert (Acadiensis, 1987)
A correspondent of the Scottish American Journal, who visited the Albion Mines in Pictou County in 1880, could not help but be struck by a sharp division in the mine labour force: "The boys seem(ed) happy enough, and were bright little fellows from 11 to 15 years of age; the men were respectful and small in stature, but they appeared dull and phlegmatic by contrast with the younger generation". Unfortunately, colliery boys have not caught historians' attention as they did this Victorian correspondent's. While the relatively "dull and phlegmatic" older Nova Scotian miners have been the subject of an extensiveamount of recent historical research, the boys have been virtually ignored. --Introduction

Intra-Organizational Bargaining: Wage Differentials Among Saskatchewan Schoolteachers - Ohtsu, Makoto; Verma, Anil (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
This paper attempts to determine the extent to which the concept of «intra-organizational bargaining», suggested by Walton and McKersie, among others, is useful in analyzing wage differentials between sub-groups within a local union. Based on historical data for public schoolteachers in Saskatchewan, the results show that the relative power of sub-groups within the union has a much stronger bearing on internal wage differentials than do the economic variables. This lends strong support to the intraorganizational bargaining model of internal wage differentials.

Labour Protest and Organization in Nineteenth-Century Canada, 1820-1890 - Palmer, Bryan D. (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
Analyzes 36 tables of data compiled on labour protest and organization in the nineteenth century including riots, strikes, occupations of strikers/rioters, regionalism, calendar of strikes, causes, strikes in major cities, and local and international unions. Labour unrest often took the form of riots in the early period, with strikes becoming more prevalent as workers became organized. The culmination was the strike wave of the 1880s known as the Great Upheaval, with the Knights of Labor, which was by far the largest organization of the period, leading the way.

Solidarity: The Rise and Fall of an Opposition in British Columbia - Palmer, Bryan D. (New Star Books, 1987)
1983's powerful Solidarity movement, which for a time seemed capable of deflecting the Social Credit government of British Columbia from its neo-conservative course - or even toppling it - instead died with a whimper. In Solidarity: The Rise and Fall of an Opposition in British Columbia, the first book-length account of this pivotal point in the province's history, Bryan Palmer concludes that it was not Social Credit tactics, but the nature of Solidarity's leadership which foreordained the defeat. --Publisher's description

Emporium of the North: Fort Chipewyan and the Fur Trade to 1835 - Parker, James McPherson (Alberta Culture and Multiculturalism/Canadian Plains Research Center, 1987)
History of Fort Chipewyan, the first European settlement in Alberta, an important fur-trading centre, and a vital base for the exploration of the continent's hinterland. Traces the development of the Fort Chipewyan fur trade from 1778, when Peter Pond entered the region, until 1835, when the rivalry between the North West and Hudson's Bay companies was no longer a factor, and a monopoly in the fur trade had been restored. Provides a vivid portrayal of life in a remote fur trade outpost during this crucial period in Canadian history. --WorldCat summary/Publisher's description

It deals with the case of approximately 700 British hosiery workers, principally from the east midlands, whom Penman's Company, then the largest knit-goods firm, assisted to emigrate to Paris, Ontario, population 4000, between 1907 and 1928... --From introduction

Santé et sécurité du travail au Québec: le défi de la concertation patronale - syndicale - Plasse, Micheline (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
Cet article porte sur la réponse du milieu du travail à la mise en œuvre de la Loi sur la sante et la sécurité du travail. Dans une perspective d'analyse des politiques, l'article montre que cette loi contient deux types principaux de politique, l'un réglementaire et l'autre constitutionnel. Les éléments constitutionnels de la loi, ceux qui changent les règles du jeu en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail, se heurtent à des difficultés de mise en œuvre plus complexes au sein des groupes d'intérêts que les éléments réglementaires de la loi. Ces derniers, règles et normes de conformité auxquelles doivent se soumettre ces groupes, s'inscrivent plutôt dans une logique de continuité et ne présentent pas de graves difficultés de mise en œuvre.

Bushworkers and Bosses: Logging in Northern Ontario, 1900-1980 - Radforth, Ian Walter (Social history of Canada, 1987)
The lumberjack – freewheeling, transient, independent – is the stuff of countless Canadian tales and legends. He is also something of a dinosaur, a creature of the past, replaced by a unionized worker in a highly mechanized and closely managed industry. In this far-ranging study of the logging industry in twentieth-century Ontario, Ian Radforth charters the course of its transition and the response of its workers to the changes. Among the factors he considers are technological development, changes in demography and the labour market, an emerging labour movement, new managerial strategies, the growth of a consumer society, and rising standards of living. Radforth has drawn on an impressive array of sources, including interviews and forestry student reports as well as a vast body of published sources such as The Labour Gazette, The Pulp and Paper Magazine of Canada, and The Canada Lumberman, to shed new light on trade union organization and on the role of ethnic groups in the woods work force. The result is a richly detailed analysis of life on the job for logging workers during a period that saw the modernization not only of the work but of relations between the workers and the bosses. --Publisher's description

Ethnic Studies and Working - Class History - Ramirez, Bruno (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
The limited influence that ethnic studies and working-class history have exerted on each other can be explained by the priorities and the predominant theoretical orientations that have characterized the former field. Much more fruitful, instead, has been the growing convergence of related fields such as immigration history and migration studies towards working-class history. While this convergence has resulted in a much more sophisticated knowledge of the social and cultural universe in which labour movements have grown and developed, relatively little progress has been made in isolating ethnicity as a historical category and in determining its place in the development and articulation of social consciousness.

A Typology of Shop Stewards: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis - Reshef, Yonatan (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
In this study, a typology of shop steward modes of role behavior was developed and tested. Three ideal types of role behavior — passive, cooperative, and radical — were derived based on a theoretical framework consisting of Marxist, pluralist, and structural-functionalist approaches. Two behavioral modes were added to the theoretical typology to provide for the possibilities offailed and erratic stewardhip styles. The five role behaviors were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis resulting in a four-facet behavioral typology. The typology and its measuring tool can be used to generate and guide future research.

Décisions rendues par le Conseil canadien des relations du travail - Saint-Germain, Catherine (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
Saisi d'une requête en accréditation visant les employés de cette entreprise, le Conseil a décide qu'il avait constitutionnellement compétence puisqu'il s'agissait là d'une entreprise reliant une province à d'autres provinces. Il a également statue que la règle d'interprétation voulant qu'une société de la Couronne soit exempte des effets d'une loi en l'absence de stipulation au contraire ne s'appliquait pas vu l'intention du législateur d'englober les sociétés d'État dans l'application du Code et parce qu'exploitant ainsi une entreprise dépassant les limites d'une province, cette société avait ainsi outrepasse le mandat pour lequel elle avait été constituée. Le Conseil a néanmoins renvoyé l'affaire à la Cour fédérale d'appel qui vient de confirmer cette décision tout en accordant également permission d'en appeler à la Cour suprême.

The Class Struggle and the Rise of Private Pensions, 1900-1950 - Stafford, James (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
The growth of private pensions is examined from a Marxist perspective. In the first part of the paper pension funds are examined in terms of Marx's analysis of the circuit of capital. The apparent anomaly of labour receiving surplus value in the form of interest from pension fund investments is resolved when it is recognized that labour does not own pension funds.

Listening to History Rather than Historians: Reflections on Working Class History - Palmer, Bryan D. (Studies in Political Economy, 1986)
Daniel Drache has moved me to do what I have always avoided: respond to those who have distanced themselves from the interpretive direction of what they almost uniformly refer to as "the new labour history". The appearance of his article, "The Formation and Fragmentation of the Canadian Working Class: 1820-1920", in Studies in Political Economy no. 15 (Fall, 1984) - supposedly a socialist review that has, in the past, offered Marxist labour histories a warm, if critical, reception - was, for me, the last straw. --Author's introduction

Canadian-American Jurisprudence on 'Good Faith' Bargaining - Bemmels, Brian; Fisher, E. G.; Nyland, Barbara (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
Until the 1970s and 1980s, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) enjoyed a broader remedial authority than did Canadian labor boards. US developments during those years involved delineating the NLRB's remedial authority and its exercise for bad faith bargaining. By contrast, Canadian jurisprudence on bad faith bargaining blossomed during the past decade. The British Columbia and Ontario boards were empowered to arbitrate first agreement disputes as a remedy against bad faith bargaining. The Ontario board developed such principles as preserving and maintaining the decision-making framework for negotiations and a full and free discussion. Canadian and US boards are similar in that they: 1. deal with the failure to disclose information the same, 2. have the same meaning of surface bargaining, and 3. similarly determine how concession bargaining could comply with good faith principles.

A Tradition in Jeopardy: Building Trades Workers' Responses to Industrial Capitalism in Winnipeg, 1880-1914 - Berkowski, Gerry E. (University of Manitoba, 1986)
Between 1880 and 1914, when Winnipeg experienced its first era of urban and industrial growth, the building industry shaped the contours of the city's economic, social, and political environments. Architects designed, contractors supervised, and workers built the infrastructure that was necessary for commercial and industrial expansion. Residential neighbourhoods, warehouses, office buildings, and factories provided the housing and workplaces for thousands of immigrants who settled in the city in the late nineteenth century. The various trades of the building industry were essential to the conversion of Winnipeg from a pioneer town in the 1870s to the west's major transportation and distribution center in 1914. Skilled building trades workers were vital to this dynamic transformation. In particular, the carpenters, bricklayers, painters, and plumbers who came to Winnipeg in the 1880s were the first of thousands employed in the mass production of buildings for modern commercial and residential use. Together with typographers and railway employees, who also possessed a great deal of craft skill, these were among the most important workers involved in the emergence of Winnipeg's early labour movement. Industrial capitalism transformed the building industry after 1880, and the lives of thousands of skilled workers. The entrepreneurs who came into the city from eastern Canada, the United States, and Britain brought the logic of general contracting to the local industry. Soon it was the dominant form of business, characterized by ferocious competition and mass production. To survive and prosper in such an environment employers adopted new methods of production and corporate organization which had a severe impact on the workplace and the skilled worker. As industrial capitalism matured in the 1890s and took hold with greater intensity in the 1900s, the workplace became more important as the object of change. Despite extensive business re-organization and the use of machines, the entire transformation from 1880 to 1914 was possible because of employers' manipulation of the labour market, the cheapest and most accessible of all resources...

Hidden Workers: Child Labour and the Family Economy in Late Nineteenth-Century Urban Ontario - Bullen, John (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
This article concentrates on youngsters between the ages of seven and fourteen who worked outside of the industrial and commercial mainstream of late nineteenth-century urban Ontario, usually for no wages, but who still contributed in important ways to the day-to-day survival of their families. The latter part of the paper includes a brief examination of the special circumstances of foster children. The article will describe the various types of work children performed, evaluate the contribution youngsters made to the family or household economy, determine the extent to which economic responsibilities affected a child's opportunities for personal development and social mobility, and judge the reaction working children elicited from middle- and upper-class members of society. Such an examination illuminates the social and economic structure of urban-industrial Ontario in the late nineteenth century, and casts light into the shadowy corners of urban poverty, business practices, reform mentality, and class structure. [Eight reproductions of black-and-white photos of children working are included.] --From author's introduction
