Frontier Labourers, Crafts in Crisis and the Western Labour Revolt: The Case of Vancouver, 1900-1919 - Conley, James R. (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
Studies of the 1918-19 labour revolt in western Canada have generally emphasized the leading role of frontier resource workers. In contrast, recent studies of the labour revolt in central Canada and elsewhere have stressed the workplace struggles of craftsmen threatened by changes in the labour process. These interpretations are assessed through a historical comparison of the experiences of workers in the Vancouver area between 1900 and 1919. First, comparison of participants in the major events of the 1918-19 revolt shows that it grew out of the interests, solidarities, and histories of collective action of both frontier labourers and craftsmen in crisis. Second, continuities between strike waves in 1900-03, 1910-13,and 1917-19 show that sources of the 1918-19 labour revolt in Vancouver lay within the city, rather than being only an effect of the western resource frontier or of exceptional wartime conditions. Strengthened mobilization, militant strike action, repressive employers, and growing but threatened power were conditions of the labour revolt in Vancouver in 1918-19. Instead of being unique, the experience of Vancouver workers was similar to that of workers elsewhere in Canada and internationally.

Maritime Labour and Crew List Analysis: Problems, Prospects, and Methodologies - Cooper, Malcolm (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
The case for systematic attention by labour historians to the crew list collection held in the Maritime History Archive of the Memorial University of Newfoundland is argued in terms of the historical interest of British maritime labour in the 19th and 20th centuries, and of the richness of the material itself. Maritime labour was characterised by a series of hiring practices and business dynamics which make it particularly worthy of attention. The impact of steam and steel technology, in- creased capitalization and government attention, and the emergence of a collective identity within the workforce, combine to produce a unique but important labour phenomenon which the existence of almost complete demographic and employment data bring well within the grasp of the historian. Various methodologies for studying the material are discussed, and the preferred method of studying the workforce of one large firm over a short period of time is illustrated with a brief case study.

Itinéraires professionnels masculins et féminins en milieu bancaire: Le cas de la Banque d'Hochelaga, 1900-1929 - Dagenais, Michèle (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
L'objet de cet article est de retracer le processus de féminisation des emplois de bureau dans le milieu bancaire, en examinant le cas des employés masculins et féminins du siège social de la Banque d'Hochelaga, entre 1900 et 1929. En premier lieu, il présente les incidences qu'a eu la révolution administrative sur l'organisation du travail bancaire et surtout sur la répartition sexuelle des tâches. Tandis que les hommes sont présents dans l'ensemble des groupes d'emplois, les femmes occupent un éventail plus restreint de postes. Bien des études jusqu'à ce jour en ont conclu que les femmes n'auraient eu d'autres possibilités que d'occuper les emplois subalternes et mal rétribués, laissant aux employés masculins les postes qualifiés. Ce type de conclusions pose de nombreaux problèmes dans la mesure où il présente la main-d'oeuvre féminine comme étant un groupe homogène et masque la diversité des expériences professionnelles féminines. L'analyse comparative des intinéraires individuels au sein de la banque, plutôt que l'étude plus conventionnelle de la seule organisation du travail, permet de faire émerger cette diversité des expériences et des pratiques professionnelles et ce, tant chez les femmes que chez les hommes.

L'avenir du syndicalisme au Canada. - Dion, Gérard; Hébert, Gérard (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
Le syndicalisme au Canada jouit d'une situation assez avantageuse par rapport à celle de la plupart des pays industrialises, mais les transformations rapides effectuées tant dans l'ensemble de l'économie que dans la composition du marche du travail et les interprétations que les tribunaux donneront à la Charte canadienne des droits et les libertés l'affecteront surement. Il est évident que le syndicalisme continuera d'exister, mais il est difficile de prédire la forme qu'il aura, surtout s'il ne se donne pas la peine de prendre les virages qui s'imposent.

'In Search of the Unbound Prometheia': A Comparative View Of Women's Activism in Two Quebec Industries, 1869-1908 - Ferland, Jacques (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
One of the most salient features of women's earlier contribution to the labour movement in Quebec, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is the prominent and often militant role of female cotton workers. Long before they formed an industrial labour organization, the cotton "girls" rose persistently, in most mills, against various attempts to further appropriate absolute and relative surplus-value. After having formally joined forces with fellow male unionists, they carried with this activism a more acute challenge to managerial prerogatives and patriarchal standards of criminality in a major assault on child and gender-related abuses. The following essay explores, in a comparative mode and from the perspective of the workplace, why female cotton workers were more assertive and have left far greater evidence of their proneness to strike than other women operatives in the boot and shoe industry. It also focuses on two important episodes of female militancy at the Hochelaga and Ste. Anne mills in order to provide a socio-economic context to their activism and to witness how solidarity could evolve rapidly into estrangement over sensitive gender-related issues.

Times Were Hard: The Pattern of Women's Paid Labour in St. John's Between the Two World Wars - Forestell, Nancy M. (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
Examines the pattern of women's paid labour in St. John's, Newfoundland, in the 1920s and 30s. Emphasizes the effect of life cycle changes on women's participation in the city's workforce. Argues that a woman's age, marital status, and class were the most important factors in determining whether the woman worked outside of the home or engaged in paid labour in the household. Considers other, related factors—including number of children, stage of the family cycle, as well as age and religion—in terms of their impact on women's labour force participation and the type of work performed. Concludes that women worked of necessity to support the home, that the vast majority were single, under 25, and living with their parents, that working-class women were far more likely to work than middle-class women, and that class also influenced the type of employment secured. Includes eight tables of census data.

The Political Consequences of Unemployment: An Application of the "Power Model" of Blue-Collar Radicalism - Grayson, J. Paul (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
In this article it is argued that in order to be understood, the political attitudes and behaviour of the unemployed must be seen in conjunction with the potential of external organizations to channel the potential discontent resulting from termination. Such an approach is consistent with the 'power model' of blue-collar radicalism. The potential of this approach in understanding the political consequences of unemployment is revealed through a longitudinal analysis of two plant closures in Canada.

British Columbia Loggers and the Lumber Workers Industrial Union, 1919-1922 - Hak, Gordon H. (Gordon Hugh) (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
In early 1919 a new union was created in British Columbia, an organization that brought together provincial loggers for the first time. Despite much initial success, the Lumber Workers Industrial Union was moribund by 1922, and it soon disappeared completely from provincial logging camps. As well as examining the grievances of the loggers, the changing nature of the logging industry, and the actions of employers, this history of the LWIU also offers insights into the character of the Canadian working class in the post-War years by highlighting the struggles of the Socialist Party of Canada, the One Big Union, and the Industrial Workers of the World to dominate the LWIU. Furthermore, this article draws Out and assesses the divergent programmes of the LWIU leaders, who were aligned with the Socialist Party of Canada, and the men in the camps, exposing a fundamental gap in the post-War socialist agenda.

Office Automation: A Review of the Litterature - Hugues, Karen D. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
The impact of new technologies on clerical workers has been intensely debated. This paper assesses current research on the key issues of employment, skill and quality of working life, drawing implications for Canadian clérical workers. The author argues that a reliance on deterministic research models has produced unduly pessimistic forecasts about the impact of new office technologies. Research which is sensitive to the mediated nature of automation is necessary for improving forecasts for the Canadian office. So too is the consideration of employer, union and state activity in influencing automation outcomes.

Le recul du travail des enfants au Québec entre 1940 et 1960: une explication des conflits entre les familles pauvres et l'État providence - Jean, Dominique (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
Du milieu de 20e siècle, les gouvernements québécais et Canadian ont resserré le contrôle du travail des enfants. Cet article tente de retracer l'effet de la loi des allocations familiales de 1945, de la loi de fréquentation scolaire obligatoire de 1943 et de la loi des familiales et la main-d'œuvre en général, sur les valeurs des parents et les normes publiques. Il avance que les lois ont eu le recul du travail des enfants dans la province, mais d'une façon que l'État n'esceuptait pas. Plus que les gouvernants, à leur compte les nouveaux droits des enfants euchâssés dans ces mesures, pour permiettre à leurs fils et à leurs filles d'aller plus longtemps à l'école.

Difficultés de recrutement dans les PME québécoise: Quelques causes et solutions possibles - Larrivée, Liette; d'Amboise, Gérald (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
Il existe une difficulté majeure de recrutement de main-d'oeuvre de production qualifiée dans les PME québécoises. Ce texte expose les résultats d'une étude visant à mieux comprendre ce problème dans le sous-secteur de la machinerie. Les auteurs ont vérifié auprès de propriétaires-dirigeants quelques hypothèses relatives aux circonstances et au degré d'intensité de cette difficulté managériale. Plusieurs facteurs concourent à l'existence de cette dernière, mais le degré d'originalité du produit fabriqué par l'entreprise et le niveau de formation-expérience exigé dans son recrutement paraissent déterminer grandement l'ampleur du défi de trouver un personnel spécialisé adéquat.

Solidarity on Occasion: The Vancouver Free Speech Fights of 1909 and 1912 - Leier, Mark (James Mark) (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
The labour and socialist movement of British Columbia before World War One was home to a number of competing tendencies and factions. While the different groups could and did work together on occasion, their relations with each other were often marked by hostility and suspicion. The Vancouver free speech fights of 1909 and 1912 illustrate dramatically the in-fighting between the Socialist Party of Canada. the Industrial Workers of the World, and the Vancouver Trades and Labor Council. The different approaches of the organizations to the issue of free speech reflect their different ideologies, constituencies, and clans strata, and the actions of the SPC suggest that the party was, despite its impossiblist rhetoric, more interested in pragmatic trade unionism and social democracy than revolution. In refusing to put its faith in parliamentary democracy, the IWW demonstrated that it had a more consistent and deeper analysis of capitalist society than moat historians have suggested, but this very analysis and the actions consistent with it meant the IWW could be increasingly marginalized and isolated.

Décisions rendues par le Conseil canadien des relations du travail - Marleau, Véronique L. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
Dans la foulée de la décision qu'il avait rendue dans Société canadienne des postes et Shoppers Drug Mart Limited, le Conseil a récemment été amené à examiner de nouveau l'application des dispositions relatives aux droits de successeur dans le secteur des postes. Il a conclu à deux reprises, mais pour des motifs différents, que la concession de l'exploitation d'un bureau de poste avec marge brute à l'intérieur d'une pharmacie ne constituait pas une vente d'entreprise au sens du Code canadien du travail (le Code) parce qu'aucun transfert au sens des dispositions relatives aux droits de successeur n 'avait été établi. Contrairement à la situation prévalant dans Shoppers Drug Mart Limited, dans ces deux affaires, la Société canadienne des postes (la Société) n'avait consenti aux concessionnaires aucune exclusivité à l'égard de la vente des produits et services postaux pour le territoire visé dans chacun des contrats.

Rough Work and Rugged Men: The Social Construction of Masculinity in Working-Class History - Maynard, Steven (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
This paper uses two recent books in Canadian labour history, Craig Heron's "Working in Steel" and Ian Radforth's "Bushworkers and Bosses," to briefly review the place of masculinity in working-class history. The author suggests that while Heron and Radforth introduce masculinity into their studies, they do not fully develop all of its meanings and functions. Drawing upon the literature on the social construction of work, gender, and sexuality, the paper then goes on to suggest some ways in which we can begin to explore aspects of masculinity and sexuality within working-class history.

Separate Spheres: The Organization of Work in a Confectionery Factory: Ganong Bros., St. Stephen, New Brunswick - McCallum, Margaret E. (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
Ganong Bros., a family-owned confectionery factory, is a major employer in a small town in southwestern New Brunswick. Up to the end of the Second World War, the period of this study, the numbers employed in the confectionery industry fluctuated dramatically with the variable seasonal demand for confectionery. At Ganong Bros., less than half the total workforce was employed for more than half the year. Work in the factory was divided along gender lines men made the candy, and women added the finishing touches. About two-thirds of the factory employees were women, most of them young and single. These women could be considered as a reserve army of labour, since many of them worked for a few weeks only, in the busiest season. But when women were not available to fill positions in traditionally female departments, Ganong Bros. management did not consider hiring men instead, even when the women's wages compared favourably to men's. Management decisions about the organization of work in the factory were influenced not only by technical or financial considerations, but by unquestioned assumptions about what work was appropriate to each gender.

D'un entrepreneur à un autre: l'accréditation ne suit pas - Morin, Fernand (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
Un donneur d'ouvrage confie le même service à un autre entrepreneur spécialisé, ce dernier ne peut être lie par l'accréditation et la convention collective du prédécesseur-concurrent.

L'approche retenue par la Cour pour justifier cette révision, celle de la question juridictionnelle, y est fortement critique parce qu'elle inciterait les tribunaux judiciaires à servir d'instances d'appel là où le législateur voulut écarter cette voie.

Working-Class History in English Canada in the 1980s : An Assessment - Naylor, James (Acadiensis: Journal of the History of the Atlantic Region / Revue d'histoire de la region atlantique, 1989)
Slightly more than a decade ago "the new working-class history" emerged in Canada. It was an occasion marked by considerable enthusiasm as ringing manifestos promised "to bring back ordinary working people from their long exile on the margins of Canadian history". Existing institutional histories of trade unions and industrial relations, it was pointed out, told us remarkably little about the experience of workers or, in more general terms, about the nature of social class in Canadian history. On the basis of this critique of the existing historiography, a new generation of working-class historians set out an ambitious agenda. --From author's introduction

Determinants of Union Commitment Among University Faculty - Ng, Ignace (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
This paper investigates the relationship between the union commitment of faculty members and a number of factors, including job satisfaction, general union beliefs, attitude towards the university, work aspects and demographic characteristics. The results show that faculty members are committed to both the university and the Association. Dissatisfaction with the university administration fosters union commitment whereas negative attitudes towards unions in general reduce that commitment. Demographic characteristics and work aspects have little influence on the faculty commitment to the Faculty Association.

Negotiating Wage Settlements: A Structural Approach - Reshef, Yonatan (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1989)
While attracting a growing research attention, the wage determination process has largely been studied from an economic perspective. This study, in contrast, adopts a combined, economic and structural approach in an attempt to account for wage gains and concessions. This paper asks, which determinants, other than economic factors, may impact the outcomes of wage settlements? Given their economic and political environments, what are the choices available to parties pursuing the maximization of wage settlements? A logit analysis of 405 agreements filed with Alberta Labour, in 1987, shows that structural variables bear important impacts on the likelihood of wage negotiations to result in wage increases. This, in turn, carries important implications for union and management wage bargaining tactics which are also discussed.

Qui est syndiqué-ε aujourd'hui au Québec? Après une revue des principauxchangements survenus dans le marché du travail depuis 1975, changements qui serésument en trois traits: la féminisation, la précarisation et la tertiairisation, l'articletrace le portrait des charactéristiques internes de la population syndiquée.

Il conclut que la population syndiquée se distingue par rapport à son âge moyen relativement élevé, sa surreprésenttion relative des hommes, sa relative sécurité d'emploi, son salaire relativement élevé, et sa concentration sectorielle. Enfin, il tente de mettre en lumière l'impact des nouveaux paramètres démographiques sur le difficile repositionnement stratégique en voie de se cristalliser au sein du mouvement syndical québécois.

Job orientation was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between job characteristics and employee performance. Results indicated that job orientation moderated the relationship between job characteristics and quality of performance but not between job characteristics and quantity of performance, job involvement and satisfaction with work.

The Language of Agrarianism in Manitoba, 1890-1925 - Taylor, Jeffery M. (Labour / Le Travail, 1989)
Manitoba agrarianism underwent a change during the settlement and post- settlement period as a nineteenth century oppositional vision was displaced by an accommodationist position in the twentieth century. This article delineates this change by reconstructing the language of radicalism employed by the Patrons of Industry and the language of accommodation that became pm-eminent in the Manitoba Grain Growers Association and the United Farmers of Manitoba. It is suggested that, by viewing these languages as distinct entities with their own discursive unity, it is possible and necessary to view agrarian ideology at some distance from its putative class location.
