  • Fostering Collective Action in CUPE New Brunswick, 1963-1993
    Standing Up, Fighting Back: Fostering Collective Action in CUPE New Brunswick, 1963-1993 by William Vinh-Doyle M.A. History, Lakehead University, 2006 Honours Bachelor of Arts, History, Lakehead University, 2004 Bachelor of Education, History, Lakehead University, 2003 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the Graduate Academic Unit of History Supervisor: Gregory Kealey, PhD, History, UNB Examining Board: David Frank, PhD, History, UNB Linda Kealey, PhD, History, UNB Thom Workman, PhD, Political Science External Examiner: Alvin Finkel, PhD, History, Athabasca University This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK March, 2015 Copyright: William Vinh-Doyle, 2015 11 Abstract The emergence of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) in the 1970s as the largest union in Canada was a major development in Canadian labour history and the result of extensive efforts to organize unorganized civil servants and public employees. Public sector union growth has often been thought to have differed fundamentally from the experience of private sector unions, on the grounds that union rights were extended to public sector workers without struggle. The history of CUPE New Brunswick, established in 1963, and its predecessor unions in the 1950s demonstrates the complex struggles of civil servants and public employees to acquire and then to apply collective bargaining rights in the province of New Brunswick. While the enactment of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (PSLRA) in 1968 provided a legal means for civil servants to join a union and bargain collectively, public sector workers continued to struggle for improved wages and working conditions throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

On that day, the Fort Kent blockhouse, destined to become one of the most enduring symbols of the war, was still six months away from construction at the conflu­ ence of the Fish and St. John rivers. Fort Kent did not rise out of bombast and calls to arms. It instead assumed its very strategic location gradually as Maine pushed to establish a toe-hold in the territory claimed by both Great Britain and the United States under the nebulous terms of the Treaty of Paris signed in 1783.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions.

  • Aroostook County Historical Timeline
    Aroostook County Historical Timeline With a Focus on the Aroostook Valley Watershed Region Compiled by Justin Howe ~9,500 B.C. - ~8,000 B.C. – Known as the Paleo-Indian Period. The reason for the brevity of this period (in many areas the Paleo-Indian Period can last for tens of thousands of years) is that 9,500 B.C. is when the last glacier covering Aroostook County retreated, which is when the first human habitation of the Aroostook County area occurred. The land of Aroostook County was then tundra. The Paleo-Indian Period is characteristically marked by fluted points. ~8,000 B.C. - ~5,000 B.C. – Known as the Early Archaic Period. ~5,000 B.C. - ~500 B.C. – Known as the Middle and Late Archaic Period. Notably in Aroostook County and other areas of New England, this is the time of the Red Paint Peoples. The reason for the name is that at grave sites, bodies and grave goods were almost always covered with red ochre. Post-500 B.C. - Known as the Ceramic Period. This is due to the appearance and wide use of pottery, as well as birch bark and notched arrowheads. There is also likely the cultivation of corn and tobacco. Pre-1500 – The estimated population of the Wabanaki tribe region (Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot tribes) before European contact is approximated at about 35,000. 1534 – Jacques Cartier is the first explorer to navigate inland North America. He claims the land of Canada for France. He also trades with Micmacs of New Brunswick.
