Labourism and Economic Action: The Halifax Shipyards Strike of 1920 - Morton, Suzanne (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Postwar industrial action in Halifax culminated in the strike of the Marine Trades and Labor Federation against the Halifax Shipyards Limited. Increased strike activity was accompanied by and enhanced labor's formal political aspirations as expressed in the rejuvenation of the Halifax Labor Party. This article explores the economic and political events leading up to the summer of 1920, when the Halifax Shipyard Strike and a Nova Scotia provincial election brought local events to a climax. Laborism, the broad political philosophy uniting labor activists in postwar Halifax, initially appeared to offer the ideal medium through which political and economic questions could be filtered and processed. But as laborites attempted to apply their philosophy to concrete situations, they exposed its inherent contradictions. The strike clarified their ideas while it revealed their weakness, and promoted the eventual fragmentation of the Halifax labor movement.

Mining in the Settler Dominions: A Comparative Study of the Industry in Three Communities from the 1880s to the First World War - Mouat, Jeremy (University of British Columbia, 1988)
This dissertation examines the evolution of the mining industry in three British dominions during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Adopting a case study approach, it describes the establishment and growth of mining in Rossland, British Columbia; Broken Hill, New South Wales; and Waihi, New Zealand. Separate chapters trace developments in each area, focussing on the emergence of organised labour, the growth of mining companies and the sophistication of mining operations. These underline the need to consider diverse themes, maintaining that the mining industry's pattern of growth can be understood only by adopting such a broad approach. Following the three case studies, the final chapters of the dissertation offer a comparative analysis of Rossland, Waihi and Broken Hill. The study emphasises the similarities of these three communities, especially the cycle of growth, and identifies a crucial common denominator. Despite differences in climate, in the type and nature of the ore deposit and in the scale of mining activity, all three areas experienced a common trajectory of initial boom followed by subsequent retrenchment. The changing character of the resource base forced this fundamental alteration of productive relations. In each region, the mineral content of the ore declined as the mines went deeper. In addition, with depth the ore tended to become more difficult to treat. Faced with a decline in the value of the product of their mines, companies had to adopt sweeping changes in order to maintain profitable operations. This re-structuring was accomplished in a variety of ways, but the most significant factors, common to Rossland, Broken Hill and Waihi, were the heightened importance of applied science and economies of scale. Both developments underlined the growing importance of the mining engineer and technological innovations, principally in milling and smelting operations. In addition, new non-selective extractive techniques reduced the significance of skilled underground labour. The re-structuring of the industry not only had similar causes but also had a similar effect. The comparative chapter on labour relations, for example, argues that these managerial initiatives were closely associated with militant episodes in each community. While the leading companies in Rossland, Waihi and Broken Hill successfully reduced their working costs, they all faced the same ultimate end. Their long-term success or failure reflected the skill with which they coped with the inevitable depletion of their ore body. The common experience of Rossland, Waihi and Broken Hill demonstrates the importance of placing colonial development within a larger context. Regional historians should make greater use of the comparative approach, rather than continuing to focus on the unique and the particular.

Toward an Historical Understanding of Industrial Relations Theory in Canada - Murray, Gregor; Giles, Anthony (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1988)
In linking the discontinuities in the development of industrial relations theory in Canada with succeeding historical phases in the evolution of Canadian industrial relations, this article argues that an understanding of industrial relations theory must be historically grounded. It identifies four phases of theoretical development and suggests that the hold of Systems theory on the discipline should be understood as the product of a specific historical period which is now giving way to the emergence of new approaches.

Race and Gender: Structural Determinants in the Formation of British Columbia's Salmon Cannery Labour Forces - Muszynski, Alicja (Canadian Journal of Sociology / Cahiers canadiens de sociologie, 1988)
The industrialization of the fisheries of British Columbia began in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the canning of salmon for export to Great Britain. Since fish was an essential staple in the diet of the native peoples living in the pacific northwest, its capture and processing was a vital part of their economic activity. Salmon canners sought a factory labour force at the cheapest possible wage. To the extent that native peoples continued to meet subsistence needs, at least partially, through the native economy, when employed for wages they did not have to be paid the full costs of the production and reproduction of their labour power. Of all the groups employed, native women and their children received the lowest wages and least secure conditions of employment. The paper explores the use of race and gender by salmon canners as a means of creating a labour force and paying it the lowest wages possible, according to the ability of each group to partially realize subsistence needs through pre-capitalist relations of production. Special attention is given to the place of native women in this process.

Grain Terminal Automation: A Case Study In The Control Of Control - Novek, Joel (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
In 1978, the Cargill grain export terminal in Thunder Bay, Ontario, underwent a modernization program that included the installation of a computerized process control system. The introduction of this technology challenged the prevailing division of labor in the grain industry under which a management supervisor issued commands by telephone and hourly workers responded by physically moving the grain through the terminal. Under the new system, grain movements were controlled by two operators sitting at computer terminals in a control room. Management claimed control of the control room as an extension of the supervisor's role and in the initial automation plan both control room operators were to be supervisors. The union representing hourly employees saw this as a threat to its control over physical operations. An unstable compromise was worked out under which management and the union would share control room duties. Four years of negotiations and an arbitration hearing failed to fully resolve the issue in this test case for grain industry automation.

Economic Aspects of Mandatory Retirement: The Canadian Experience - Reid, Frank (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1988)
Economie impacts of eliminating mandatory retirement are a crucial aspect of the Charter of Rights arguments concerning the «reasonableness» of age discrimination. Evidence suggests that the number of employees who would workpast normal retirement age in any given year is only a fraction of one percent of the labour force. Eliminating mandatory retirement would consequently have minimal impact on job opportunities for youth and personnel practices concerning evaluation of employees. Actuarial adjustment of private pension plans to accommodate a flexible retirement age is only a minor administrative matter and has already been implemented in some Canadian jurisdictions.

The Interchangeable Worker and Fighting Back: Identifying Some Strategic Issues - Reiter, Ester (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
Organizing unorganized workers, particularly the growing number of women and young people in part-time jobs, is one of the major challenges for organized labour. The restructuring of the restaurant industry in the post- World War II period produced a work situation in which traditional workplace organizing strategies were rendered ineffective. This paper explores the development of the interchangeable worker in the fast food sector of the industry and examines how a feminist approach to work, which stresses the links between paid work, family, and community, is a more appropriate model upon which to develop suitable strategies for dealing with this increasingly common workplace.

'It Was a Hard Life': Class and Gender in the Work and Family Rhythms of a Railway Town, 1920-1950 - Rosenfeld, Mark (Historical Papers, 1988)
Most social histories of the working class have focussed on women's or men's experience alone. However, while studies of working-class women have often been sensitive to the ways in which class and gender relationships have been constructed and reconstructed simultaneously, histories of working-class men have been largely gender-blind. In an attempt to provide a more comprehensive understanding of gender-based divisions in the working-class experience this study examines the relationship between male and female work worlds in the railway ward of Barrie, Ontario between 1920 and 1950....

Modes of Incorporation and Racialization: The Canadian Case - Satzewich, Victor Nicholas (University of Glasgow, 1988)
This thesis makes a contribution to three areas of sociological thought. First, it is concerned with the elaboration and extension of the political economy approach to migration as it is represented in the work of Stephen Castles and his various co-authors. It suggests that the work of Castles, et al., is relatively silent on the role of the state, and ideological relations in the structuration of migration. In seeking to further refine the political economy framework as it is applied to migration, this thesis draws upon two other sets of literature which, in part, have emerged as counters to some of the more economistic of their formulations. In this light, the second area of sociological literature I draw upon is the recent work on the concepts of free and unfree labour. Finally, this thesis is informed by an analysis of recent debates on the concept of racialization. In synthesizing these three strands of sociology, this thesis advances the theoretical claim that political economy oriented theorists should focus on modes of incorporation, or the manner in which foreign-born labour articulates with capital and the state. Within this context, four distinct modes of incorporation under capitalism are identified. These modes of incorporation are designated as: free immigrant labour, unfree immigrant labour, free migrant labour and unfree migrant labour. This thesis suggests that agents are subject to particular modes of incorporation, in part, on the basis on the process of racialization. This thesis uses the cases of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Chinese migration to Canada, and the post-1945 migration of farm labourers, from a number of source countries, including, specifically, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, and the Caribbean, to the south western Ontario fruit and vegetable industry to highlight the centrality of the state in the process of migration, and the differential modes of incorporation of foreign-born persons into sites in production relations. Furthermore, the process of racialization is seen to have an impact on whether particular groups are allowed entry to a social formation, and upon how they are incorporated into sites in production relations.

This volume is a reprint of a special edition of the Canadian Journal of Sociology.The essays are gathered around two themes: the relationship of sociology and social history, and the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and region with class. Unlike most Canadian essay collections, the contributors and their subjects cover Canada from British Columbia to Newfoundland, with forays into Cape Breton and central Canada. The volume contains articles by Ian McKay, Gordon Darroch, James R. Conley, Alicja Muszynski, Gillian Creese, and Jim Overton. An interesting collection of some of the new work being done in Canada by historians and sociologists, Class, Gender, and Region reflects Charles Tilly's suggestion that "there should be no disciplinary division of labour: simply both doing social history." --Publisher's description

The Health of Nations: Public Health and the Social Reproduction of the Working Class in Canada and Britain, 1900-20 - Sears, Alan (University of Warwick, 1988)
The first two decades of the twentieth century saw a dramatic period of innovation and expansion in public health programmes in Britain and Canada. This thesis argues that this period of growth and change in public health was one aspect of a major reorientation of social policy. This reorientation had two major features. First, the national working classes of Britain, Canada and other countries were increasingly delimited through immigration controls and similar means of regulating international mobility. Secondly, new social programmes were developed which attempted to improve the physical, mental and moral condition of these delimited working classes, on the basis that their well-being was the foundation of national productivity. Public health played a major role in both the delimitation and improvement of national working classes. In Canada, the first major programme of immigration controls was introduced in this period, centering around the selection or rejection of immigrants on the basis of medical inspection conducted according to public health criteria. In both Britain and Canada, new public health programmes were developed which aimed to improve the condition of the working class. This was to be accomplished primarily through home visiting programmes which attempted through education and Inspection to establish standards for the domestic labour of women as mothers and home-makers. This thesis examines the contribution of public health to this reorientation of social policy primarily through the analysis of the theoretical work of key policy-makers as reported in professional journals and government documents. These officials displayed a keen sociological understanding of the broader significance of their activities in the development of a productive national working class prepared for work or war. Indeed, they understood clearly that the health of nations is an important basis of the wealth of nations.

A Social History of Pulpwood Logging in Newfoundland During the Great Depression - Sutherland, John Dufferin (Memorial University, 1988)
The Great Depression which struck all western nations in the 1930s was a period of great hardship for Newfoundlanders. Its burdens fell particularly hard on the island's loggers and their families. During the 1930s, for at least part of the year, nearly 6,000 Newfoundlanders toiled in the woods. While some worked full-time, many laboured part-time to supplement their meagre earnings from the fishery. Their labour contributed significantly to a forest products industry which, during the 1930s, was regularly valued at over $15 million a year and, in many years, made up over 50 per cent of the value of the island's exports. And yet, despite their numbers and their contribution to Newfoundland's economy we have heard very little of these loggers' lives and as Greg Kealey puts it, "their struggles to minimize their oppression and to improve the lives of their families and their class." This thesis examines the working lives of Newfoundland loggers during the Great Depression, their labour processes, strikes, collective actions and attempts to organize in the latter half of the decade. In 1930 there were no unions specifically for loggers. By 1939, however, there were three unions, the Newfoundland Lumbermen's Association, the Newfoundland Labourers' Union, and the Workers' Central Protective Union all of which represented loggers in the regions where they were based. The Fishermen's Protective Union was also still active in the 1930s negotiating agreements on behalf of loggers on the northeast coast of the island. This thesis looks at the emergence, structure, and effectiveness of the unions and at their damaging rivalries. In doing so, it charts the changes these organizations forged in the relations between labour and capital in the Newfoundland woods before World War II.

The Rise of Industrial Unionism in Canada: A History of the CIO [Congress of Industrial Organizations] - Taylor, Don; Dow, Bradley (Research and current issues series, 1988)
Chronicles the transformative impact of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) on Canada's labour movement and society. Discusses the shift from craft-based unions to industrial unionism, emphasizing the CIO's success in organizing workers across industries, securing collective bargaining rights, and improving wages, working conditions, and benefits. The CIO played a pivotal role in shaping Canada's social security system, advocating for universal health care, pensions, and unemployment insurance, while supporting the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) to push for progressive policies. The CIO's innovative methods, such as education programs and political action, reshaped industrial relations and laid the foundation for modern labour rights in Canada.

Hospital-Based Nursing and the Labour Process, Ontario, 1850-1922 - Teichroew, Les I. (Carleton University, 1988)
This thesis examines the historical development of hospital-based nursing and its labour process in Ontario between 1850 and 1922. By building upon feminist critiques of Marxist theory, the thesis seeks to apply class and gender as empirically significant concepts. The analysis proceeds at two levels of abstraction. First, it locates the emergence of nursing vis-a-vis the growth of hospital-based care, both of which were influenced by broader changes in society, the economy and family. Secondly, it links changes in the content and control over nurses' work to those broader social changes, and more specifically to the struggles between physicians, hospital administrators, and nursing superintendents at the level of the workplace, namely the hospital.

Making The Workplace 'Safe' In Capitalism: The Enforcement of Factory Legislation in Nineteenth-Century Ontario - Tucker, Eric (Labour / Le Travail, 1988)
The development of industrial capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century in Ontario brought new and more serious hazards into the workplace and drew women and children into the waged labour force. As a result of working class lobbying and the efforts of middle class reformers, the state empowered itself to regulate health and safety conditions in factories and to protect child and female labour. The implementation of these regulations was left to an inspectorate which was armed with substantial legal powers to enforce the law. These powers were rarely invoked by the inspectors. However, the failure to prosecute does not in itself indicate that the law was unenforced. An alternative enforcement strategy based on persuasion was followed by most inspectors. It has been argued that persuasion was chosen over prosecution because it made more efficient use of the scarce enforcement resources available to the inspectors, and that persuasion was effective. This paper argues that although it is true that the government chose to devote woefully inadequate resources to enforcement of factory legislation, this is not an adequate explanation of the inspectors' enforcement behaviour. The belief that persuasion was an effective enforcement model also flowed from the inspectors' values and assumptions, including the following: that worker carelessness was the major cause of accidents; that employers were socially responsible; that workers and employers had common interests in occupational health and safety; and that women and children needed special protection. It is further argued that persuasion was not an effective enforcement strategy, especially because it was linked with an acceptance by the inspectors of 'normal' industrial practices, even where those practices generated significant risks for workers. In effect, health and safety regulation probably did as much to legitimate industrial capitalism as it did to protect workers health and safety.

The Causes and Effects of the 1981 Hospital Strike in Ontario: Fiscal Crisis, Changing Labour Process and the Role of Gender in Public Sector Conflict - White, Patrick Jerry (McMaster University, 1988)
In 1981 the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) staged a strike in Ontario Hospitals. This dissertation is an exploratory case study of the causes and effects of that strike. The dissertation employs elements of the labour process theory to evaluate the hospital worker's action and in so doing provides an opportunity to contribute to the on-going debate concerning this theory. The study is centred on the hospitals of Greater Hamilton and Burlington Ontario. It assesses the role of political environment, union structure and action, and gender in creating and sustaining the conditions for strike action in the public sector. The economic and political situation leading to the strike is analyzed with a view to understanding how the fiscal crisis in Canada led to the strike. Labour legislation and the fiscal policies of the federal and provincial governments had an impact on hospitals and their workers. Labour legislation in the hospital sector destroyed collective bargaining at a time when changes unpopular with the workers were taking place in the hospital. This encouraged the decision to strike. The majority of hospital workers in 1981 were women. The dissertation explores, through interviews and archival data, a possible link between gender and the decision to strike. Some changes in the organization of hospital work broke an important care-giving link between women workers and patients. The repercussions of the strike include charges for the union, for women, and the wider political consequences such as the further undermining of the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act. The dissertation concludes that the strike was caused by labour process changes made by management faced with government cost cutting measures. These changes were particularly upsetting to the majority of workers who were women. The illegality of the strike did not deter the decision to strike because the government labour legislation had destroyed the 'normal' bargaining process. Therefore workers felt that there was no real choice but to strike.

Migrant Seasonal Agricultural Labour: Race and Ethnic Relations in the Okanagan Valley - Wong, Lloyd Lee (York University, 1988)
This thesis examines the race and ethnic relations between migrant seasonal agricultural workers in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, from the turn of the century to the present. This analysis includes Chinese, Doukhobor, Japanese, Indian, and French agricultural workers. The research problem is one of determining the nature of race and ethnic relations between these groups and the predominantly English host community, where it was hypothesized that racism, ethnic prejudice, and ethnic discrimination would be prevalent. Historical research was conducted using existing local literature and archival data from local museums and newspaper companies. Survey research was conducted on contemporary migrant seasonal agricultural workers and consisted of a questionnaire. The thesis begins with a description of the Okanagan Valley and a literature review of agricultural labour in Western Europe, the United States, and Canada. Segmented labour markets and, race and ethnic relations provide the theoretical framework for the study. The secondary labour market explains the concentration of racial and ethnic minorities in agriculture. A theoretical model of French-English ethnic relations explains the ethnic discrimination of French migrant seasonal agricultural workers. The historical research findings show that racism was experienced by Chinese and Japanese workers, and ethnic discrimination was experienced by Doukhobor workers. The survey research included a general documentation of demographic and social data for current migrant workers, and these data indicate they are similar to workers elsewhere. The housing and working conditions of these workers are poor. Workers are exposed to dangerous chemical pesticides. The main survey research findings centre on the ethnic discrimination experienced by French migrant workers. This discrimination occurred primarily in their leisure activities, and to a lesser extent, in the area of employment. There was no evidence of a split-labour market on the basis of wages alone. The thesis ends with a discussion on the possible legislative and social policy implications of the findings in the areas of health and safety, and racial/ethnic prejudice and discrimination. There is a discussion of discrimination and the law, educational programs, and the necessary changes in community processes and structures.

Sleeping Car Porters in Canada: An Ethnically Submerged Labour Market - Calliste, Agnes (Canadian Ethnic Studies = Etudes Ethniques au Canada; Calgary, 1987)
Except for the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) which employed black cooks and waiters in its dining cars, Canadian railway companies employed blacks almost exclusively as sleeping car porters from the late 1880s until the amalgamation of the dining car and poerters' locals of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Transport and General Workers (CBRT) in 1964. The process of forming an ethnically submerged split labour market was completed in the 1920s when the Canadian National Railways (CNR) took over the GTR and replaced black waiters in the dining cars on fomer GTR cars with white employees. Moreover, the company and the CBRT agreed to a group classification system which restricted blacks to being porters only. The Canadian Pacific Railway's policies of importing Americna porters from the United Sates and of stifling porters' efforts to organize were instrumental in creating a double split labour market. The Canada Fair Employment Practices Act in 1953, however, gave proters the leverage they need to combat discrimination in railway employment. The data came from oral history, organizational records, government documents and other secondary sources.

Labour Relations and Indian Self-Determination: A Fort Alexander Case Study - Anderson, Brian (University of Saskatchewan, 1987)
This case study examines a labour relations issue which initially involves teacher employees of the Sagkeeng Education Authority of the Fort Alexander Band on one hand and the Sagkeeng Education Authority and the Fort Alexander Chief and Council on the other. The events of the issue transpire between 1981 and 1986.Teacher employees, concerned with working conditions and job security, organized as a local of the Manitoba Teachers' Society which was certified under the Canada Labour Code. The Chief and Council of the Fort Alexander Band rejected the formation of the local and the applicability of the Canada Labour Code to labour relations on the reserve. Teachers were fired for union activities. Hearings were held by the Canada Labour Relations Board. Orders were issued by the Labour Board and a collective agreement was imposed by the Labour Board. The Chief and Council refused to follow the Labour Board's orders, and contempt of court hearings were held by the Federal Court. Fort Alexander officials, including the Chief and Council, were initially fined and subsequently jailed. The Minister of Indian Affairs, David Crombie, promised to initiate Department studies to examine the possibilities and implications of changing the labour relations regime to reflect Indian self-government. The dispute was eventually settled out of court but the issue of Indian government jurisdiction over labour relations remains unresolved.Conceived and sanctioned by the Manitoba Teachers' Society, the Canada Labour Relations Board and the Federal Court as a labour dispute, the researcher argues that the issue is more readily understood within the context of Indian self-determination and self-government. Concepts concerning philosophical, socio-economic, cultural, legal, political and historical aspects of the relationship between Indian peoples and the Canadian state are brought to bear on the issue. Concepts of group rights versus those of individual rights are examined.It is argued that the current labour relations legal regime is inconsistent with Indian self-determination and self-government. The researcher suggests jurisdiction over labour relations should be determined by First Nations' governments as consistent with the goals of self-determination and self-government. Conceptions of Indian labour relations jurisdiction are suggested.

Canadian Unions, the New Democratic Party, and the Problem of Collective Action - Archer, Keith (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
The transformation of the into the NDP was designed to strengthen the ties between organized labour and the party. High rates of union affiliation with the party were expected to provide financial, organizational and symbolic support. However, rates of affiliation have remained low. This article uses a public choice approach to explain low rates of affiliation with the NDP. We argue that the costs of affiliation outweigh the benefits because the NDP encourages the affiliation of union locals, which tend to be relatively small. The model is developed through a comparison of the British and Canadian cases.

The Flexibility Debate in Western Europe: The Current Drive to Restore Managements' Rights Over Personnel and Wages - Barkin, Solomon (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1987)
Managements' drive for the removal of contractual and govemmental restraints on their control of the work force is rationalized in Western Europe as necessary to achieve greater internal and external competitiveness. In support of this view the OECD substituted the advocacy of a flexible manpower policy (including wage policy) under the euphorie title of 'positive adjustment policy' for the prior program of an active manpower policy promoted during the sixties and early seventies. The soundness of the arguments for this change in policy has been questioned by internal research findings as well as reports by consultants and special expert groups appointed by the organization. These studies call for a package of policies and measures negotiated between management and unions to realize the ultimate ends of manpower mobility and job security. The free labor market cannot by itself serve as the mechanism for realizing these goals. Employment security and not segmentation of the work force should be the objective of joint policy making.

Women's History and Working-Class History - Bradbury, Bettina (Labour / Le Travail, 1987)
This paper seeks to examine the extent to which the writing of the history of both women and of the Canadian working class has converged over the last ten years, to suggest other ways in which integration of the two could be sought, and also to suggest some basic conflicts between the paradigms of each which point to areas where integration seems unlikely. It argues that if the goal of writing a history of the totality of the working class is a shared one, areas of intersection between the two fields must be consciously sought out. New ways of integrating the history of women and of the working class must be sought. For a start, this requires a reconceptualization of the way we define the working class and work, examination of the processes of class reproduction, and acknowledgement of the importance of examining how gender definitions are transmitted, shaped and reshaped.

Waterfront Warlord: The Life and Violent Times of Hal C. Banks - Edwards, Peter (Key Porter Books, 1987)
The shocking true story of Canada’s most powerful and feared labour leader. His supporters called him a tough and effective leader; his opponents called him a vicious thug. For nearly two decades, Hal C. Banks ruled the nation’s waterfronts with an iron fist. As head of the communist-busting Seafarers’ International Union, he carved out his fiefdom with a combination of intimidation, blacklisting and brutality. Now, award-winning investigative reporter Peter Edwards brings the complete, shocking story of Hal C. Banks to print for the first time. From ex-con on the San Francisco waterfront to Canada’s most powerful labour boss – with influence that reached onto Parliament Hill itself – here is the unexpurgated truth behind the myths of a larger-than-life warlord whose name still incites fear and controversy even years after his death… and whose ability to break the law and get away with it is an outrageous and fascinating testament of evil in our time. --From author's website

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.
