    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 8 (2) Autumn 2012 Copyright © 2012 The Author(s) Article NO RIGHT TO BE SAFE: JUSTIFYING THE EXCLUSION OF ALBERTA FARM WORKERS FROM HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATIONS BOB BARNETSON Associate Professor of Labour Relations. Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Athabasca University.1 Abstract Alberta remains the only Canadian province to exclude agricultural workers from the ambit of its occupational health and safety laws. Consequently, farm workers have no right to know about workplace safety hazards and no right to refuse unsafe work, thereby increasing their risk of a workplace injury. This study uses qualitative content analysis to identify three narratives used by government members of the legislative assembly between 2000 and 2010 to justify the continued exclusion of agricultural workers from basic health and safety rights. These narratives are: (1) education is better than regulation, (2) farms cannot be regulated, and (3) farmers don’t want and can’t afford regulation. Analysis of these narratives reveals them to be largely invalid, raising the question of why government members rely upon these narratives. The electoral rewards associated with maintaining this exclusion may comprise part of the explanation. Keywords agriculture, health, safety, policy, Canada Introduction Alberta is the only Canadian province that continues to exclude agricultural workers from the ambit of its occupational health and safety legislation. This exclusion 1 Bob Barnetson teaches labour relations at Athabasca University in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His research focuses on the political economy of employment regulation in Alberta as it affected workplace injury as well as child, farm and migrant workers.

Korneski A thesis submitted to the school of graduate studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland April2004 DEC 0 5 2005 St. John's Newfoundland Abstract During the first quarter of the twentieth century Canadians lived through, were shaped by, and informed the nature of a range of social transformations. Social historians have provided a wealth of information about important aspects of those transformations, particularly those of"ordinary" people. The purpose of this thesis is to provide further insight into these transitions by examining the lives and thoughts of a selection of those who occupied a comparatively privileged position within Canadian society in the early twentieth century. More specifically, the approach will be to examine four Winnipeg citizens - namely, Presbyterian minister and author Charles W. Gordon, newspaper editor John W. Dafoe, member of the Imperial Order Daughters of Empire Minnie J.B. Campbell, and women's page editor Francis M. Beynon. In examining these men and women, what becomes evident about elites and the social and cultural history of early twentieth-century Canada is that, despite their privileged standing, they did not arrive at "reasonable" assessments of the state of affairs in which they existed. Also, despite the fact that they and their associates were largely Protestant, educated Anglo-Canadians from Ontario, it is apparent that the men and women at the centre of this study suggest that there existed no consensus among elites about the proper goals of social change.

  • Alberta's Rights Revolution

    Alberta's Rights Revolution

    Dominique Clément Alberta's rights revolution Studies of human rights that focus on international politics or institutions fail to convey the complex influence of human rights on law, politics and society in a local context. This article documents the impact of the rights revolution in Alberta. The rights revolution emerged in the province beginning in the 1970s following the election of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1971. Many of the issues that typified Alberta's rights revolution were unique to this region: censorship, eugenics and discrimi­ nation against Hutterites, Aboriginals, Blacks and French Canadians. However, as the controversy surrounding discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation demonstrates, Alberta's rights revolution remains an unfulfilled promise. Keywords: Alberta, human rights, civil liberties, history, social movements, politics Since 1998 the Supreme Court of Canada has required the government of Alberta to enforce its provincial human rights legislation as if it included sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination. And yet it was not until 2010 - when the government introduced a new Human Rights Act - that the term sexual orientation was formally written into the legislation. The Human Rights Act included another notable addition: teachers are now prohibited from discussing sexual orientation, sexuality or religion to children of parents who demanded an exemption. No other jurisdiction in Canada has ever created the possibility that teaching could be a human rights violation in this way. The Edmonton Journal described the amendment as ‘unnecessary, divisive and potentially damaging ... the bill only serves to reinforce stereotypes of Albertans in other parts of the country that are at odds with the tolerant, multicultural, open-minded reality in this most urban of places’ (Editorial 2009).

ATANEWS WELCOME August 27, 2013 Volume 48, Number 1 News Publication of The Alberta Teachers’ Association BACK Students ready to hit the books Librarian Pauline Zapisocky at St. Catherine School, in Edmonton, signed out textbooks to Grade 9 students on the first day of school on August 12. St. Catherine School is one of three schools in the Edmonton Catholic Schools district that offer the year- round schooling calendar. Students returned to school in mid-August but will enjoy a two-week fall break in October and a two-week spring break in March. About 100 schools in Canada follow the year-round schooling calendar. The calendar provides more continuous learning for students, particularly in reading and math, than the traditional calendar. YUET CHAN Your views .

Key components of the PFA were designed to relieve work- load concerns that inhibit teachers’ core work with students.

    Graying States: Elder Care Policy in Alberta, Canada and Sweden

    Graying States: Elder Care Policy in Alberta, Canada and Sweden By Gabrielle Betts A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Gabrielle Betts 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Undergoing the six-year adventure towards the completion of my thesis would not have been possible without the care and support of many people along the way. First and foremost, I could not be more grateful to have worked under the direction of my talented co-supervisors Dr. Rianne Mahon and Dr. Fiona Robinson. I am thankful for the intellectual stimulus they provided throughout my PhD studies, the countless hours that they spent reading through my thesis drafts, the insightful and invaluable feedback they offered throughout the research and writing process, and their help in overcoming any challenges that presented themselves along the way. My thesis would not be the same without their excellent supervision. I am fortunate to have also had the opportunity to work with Dr. Hugh Armstrong, who was a member on my thesis committee in addition to being one of my professors while pursuing my PhD studies at Carleton University. His course and work on the political economy of health and elder care have influenced my research and work. I am also grateful to Dr. Marta Szebehely for sharing her expertise on Swedish elder care, and for being so helpful and kind when I prepared for and undertook my fieldwork in Sweden; with one of the highlights of my trip being the day I spent at her beautiful cottage.
