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.

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.

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. The second part of the paper traces the development of private pensions in Canada as part of the class struggle. Private pension plans were first introduced by capital to control labour. Later with legislation by the state, pension funds came to be the major source of investment capital in Canada.

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.

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

"A Much-needed Class of Labour": The Economy and Income of the Southern Interior Plateau Indians, 1897-1910 - Burrows, James K. (BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly, 1986)
Anthropologists have long been interested in the study of the Indians of British Columbia. Historians, however, have not until recently shared that interest. Little research has been conducted on the history of the Indians and almost all of what has been done has been confined to the early contacts between the indigenous people and the Europeans, leaving open a wide field of study. ...The Southern Interior Plateau is an area which provides significant potential for study. It had numerous economic opportunities for white settlers in farming, mining, logging and other industries, but because of its relatively small European population it was necessary for many settlers to rely on its Interior Salish Indian population for wage labour. The major road and rail projects in this area also required labour, and many Indians were able to fit into the region's economy as independent farmers and ranchers. --From introductory section

Teachers' Work: Changing Patterns and Perceptions in the Emerging School Systems of Nineteenth - and Early Twentieth - Century Central Canada - Danylewycz, Marta; Prentice, Alison (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Teachers have been left out of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century labour history just as they have been ignored, as workers, in the history of education. This paper investigates themes in the history of elementary public school teachers' work in Quebec and Ontario during the period when state school systems were being put in place and public teaching forces were becoming predominantly female. During this period teachers contended with the introduction of new subjects and methods, the introduction of increasing amounts of paperwork, and a growing insistence on discipline and uniformity in increasingly hierarchical work places. In addition they had to deal with unhealthy working conditions and conflicts over who was responsible for the upkeep and physical improvement of schools. Although, by the turn of the century, increasing workloads, difficult working conditions, and low pay had pushed urban women teachers to form single-sex protective associations, most schoolmistresses failed to identify with other organized workers. Neither self-identified workers, nor the professionals they aspired to be, they began to understand one major source of their problematic status when they perceived that this derived, in large part, from their status as women.

Bargaining Exercises Beyond Simulation, A Touch of Reality - Gilson, C. H. J. (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
Collective bargaining simulation exercises are valuable to students for a number of reasons: 1. They help students develop insight into interpersonal issues. 2. They motivate students. 3. The exercises offer specific skills that are usable in the job market. However, there are also a number of problems with simulation exercises. First, simulations are constructed using a contrived environment that does not parallel the real world. Second, peer pressure during the simulation encourages gregarious and arrogant forms of communication. Finally, production and personnel managers, presidents, and shop stewards cannot be included effectively. Despite these problems, there are 3 methods that can be used to give simulations a greater sense of reality: 1. follow up the first round of simulation with another based on the results of the first, 2. make third-party intervention available, and 3. encourage group support of a single chief negotiator.

L'Obligation scolaire au Québec: Enjeu pour le mouvement syndical et agricole - Hamel, Thérèse (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
L'avènement de l'instruction obligatoire au Québec en 1943 s'inscrit dans un tissu de relations complexes, d'alliances, et de luttes très longues. Contrairement à ce que laisse croire l'histoire officielle, le mouvement ouvrier et le mouvement paysan ont joué un rôle actif dans cette longue «querelle.» Quoique prenant part dans cette lutte, ces mouvements ont aussi été très divisés. Alors que le Congrès des métiers et du travail du Canada (CMTC) appuie la fréquentation scolaire obligatoire, la Confédération des travailleurs catholiques du Canada (CTCC), et l'Union Catholique des cultivateurs (UCC) s'y opposent durement. L'influence que l'Église Catholique exerce sur la CTCC et l'UCC explique en partie le refus catégorique de ces deux organisations, mais sans plus. La composition des membres de chacune, les secteurs d'implantation de celles-ci, le type d'agriculture dominant au Québec et les coûts liés à l'éducation ont joué un rôle déterminant dans les positions des organisations étudiées.

Correlates of Informal Grievance Resolution Among Fist-Line Supervisors - Knight, Thomas R. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
A study examined the effect on grievance resolution of differences in supervisors' training and degree of experience. The study also looked at the variances in the grievance process interaction between supervisors and union representatives and other management. Eight workplace-level case studies were examined. A total of 181 first-line supervisors completed questionnaires. In addition, interviews were conducted with the industrial relations staff at each location. Results indicated that much of the variance in the rate of informal grievance resolution among first-line supervisors is traceable to differences in individual supervisors' experience and behavior in the grievance process. The most powerful influence on grievance resolution was the degree to which informal consultation occurred between supervisors and union representatives before the grievance transactions concluded.

Inside Postal Workers: The Labour Process, State Policy, and the Workers' Response - Laidlaw, Blair; Curtis, Bruce (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Declining real wages and pressure to increase productivity pushed Canadian postal workers to a national wildcat strike in 1965. After this achievement they began a series of day-to-day battles to extend their shopfloor power. Reacting to this, postal management embarked on a mechanization project to transform the labour process. New federal labour laws were enacted which stifled the expression of workers' power through their union. The national union officials proved unable to break out of these bureaucratic structures that cut them off from the rank and file. An abrupt national wildcat/sitdown strike in 1974 resulted in a change in the national union leadership. Solid victories were won dealing with the transition to new mechanized plants. However, management began a counterattack aimed a weakening worker solidarity by hiring non-union workers and refusal to honour the collective agreement. The stage is then set for a series of local wildcats in the late 1970s, the Toronto strike of December 1977, and the national strike in 1978. The postal workers' past and present is summed up with a view to future struggles.
