UAW Region 7 Canadian Regional Office -2 UAW CANADIAN REGIONAL OFFICE (REGION 7) Papers, 1937-1970 (Predominantly 1955-1970) 100.5 Linear Feet ACCESSION NO. 372 The historic UAW-Canada records and papers were received from the Canadian Regional Office of the UAW during the years 1969-1972. Various library materials were donated in 1980 and 1981; these are now part of the Archives library. The UAW in Canada had its beginning during the same 1936 convention that was the start of the international union. The Kelsey Wheel Unit of Local 195 (Windsor) and the McKinnon Unit of Local 199 (St. Catharines) received their charters within three days of each other in late 1936. After the Ford of Canada plant was organized in 1941, General Motors and Chrysler recognized the union and many other companies followed suit. Without the protection of the Wagner Act available to U.S. workers, Canadian unionists faced difficult problems organizing in the 1940s, which perhaps contributed to their reputation of being particularly militant. The union grew to be the largest national or international union in Canada. The principle of union security was attained in 1945 after a strike by UAW Local 200, Windsor, at the Ford Motor Company of Canada. After this strike a Canadian judicial decision provided that all Canadian workers in the union's jurisdiction were subject to dues check-off. This was the well-known Canadian "Rand Formula". The Canadian Regional Director is elected by Canadian delegates, and the Canadian UAW Council meets to recommend policy on Canadian matters, providing some autonomy for Canadian workers of the international union. Canadian Economic Conferences are held to examine particular problems for Canada. All of this is reflected in this regional collection. The UAW has been known as "Canada's Trail-Blazing Union" because it was a pioneer in securing pensions (1950), a guaranteed annual wage (1955-56), pre-paid medical prescriptions (1964-1965) and wage parity (1967-1968). The Canadian Regional office was established in Windsor, with sub-regional offices in Brantford, Chatham, Fort William, London, Oakville, Oshawa, Ottawa, St. Catharines, and Woodstock, all in Ontario, where there are the largest numbers in the union, as well as in Montreal and Winnipeg. In 1968 the main Canadian Regional office was moved to Toronto. UAW Region 7 Canadian Regional Office -2- Canadian Regional Directors George Burt and Dennis McDermott are prominent in the papers of this collection. Burt was Canadian Director from 1939 until 1968, when Dennis McDermott took that office. Further information about the Canadian Region can be found in the Toronto Sub-Regional Office Collection, in the George Burt Collection, and in the papers of various union locals which are deposited in this Archives. Important subjects covered in the collection include: Agreements and Master Agreements Aircraft Industry Arbitration Auto Pact (U.S.-Canada) Automation Automobile Industry in Canada Batelle Report on the Canadian Auto Industry Canadian-American Committee Canadian Congress of Labour Canadian Labour Congress Canadian UAW Council Collective Bargaining Economics of Canada Farm Equipment Industry Health Services and Program Labour Law in Canada Manpower Analyses New Democratic Party Ontario Federation of Labour Pensions Plant Location and Re-Location Political Action Rand Formula (Agency Shop) Royal Commission on the Automotive Industry Skilled Trades Strikes in Canada Supplemental Unemployment Benefits Trades and Labour Congress Transitional Assistance Benefits UAW Locals in Canada Unemp1oyment Union Negotiations Union Security Wage Parity Wage Rates Windsor, Ontario Women Workers Education UAW Region 7 Canadian Regional Office -3- The following list of correspondents includes most persons with at least five letters.

  • Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series Editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor
    Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor Capital is dead labor. Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

  • Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States
    Labor Union Response to Diversity Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States GERALD HUNT and DAVID RAYSIDE* Canadian and American research finds that organized labor’s engagement with race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation until recently has been largely exclusionist. The Canadian labor movement emerges as having been somewhat more responsive to equity issues, particularly gender and sexual orientation, and at an earlier stage than its U.S. counterpart. The American movement, however, did create limited room for African-American issues and unionization from early this century and now shows signs of broader engagement with diversity issues in general. The literature is strong in case studies pointing to exceptional situations involving minority militancy and union acceptance and in highlight- ing the role of activists inside and external to the labor movement. It suffers from a lack of large-scale analysis and comparison. Has organized labor been an ally or a foe for women and minority groups seeking equal opportunities and equitable treatment in the labor force and workplace? There is now a substantial body of literature focused on this question, and recent changes in union response to issues of diversity call out for a summary and assessment of this literature. This article considers scholarship on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orien- tation in Canada and the United States.1 *The authors’ affiliations are, respectively, the School of Business and Economics, Nipissing Univer- sity, and the Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. This review benefited from the research assistance of Karen Murray, Ph.D. student at the University of British Columbia, the statistical guidance of Laine Ruus at the University of Toronto Reference Library, and the helpful commentary of Daniel Mitchell and three anonymous reviewers.

  • Even More Land Available for Homes and Jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe
    March 9, 2017 An update on the total land supply: Even more land available for homes and jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe For more information, contact: Marcy Burchfield Executive Director [email protected] 416-972-9199 ext. 1 Neptis | 1 An update on the total land supply: Even more land available for homes and jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe This is the third in a series of Briefs on the land supply for future urban development designated by municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe to accommodate growth to 2031. This Brief sums up the supply of land in (a) the Designated Greenfield Area (DGA), (b) unbuilt areas within Undelineated Built-up Areas (UBUAs), (c) land added through boundary changes to Barrie and Brantford and (d) Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan. Altogether, the supply of unbuilt land for housing and employment planned until 2031 and beyond is 125,600 hectares. How much land is available for development in the Greater Golden Horseshoe? Determining how much land has been set aside to accommodate future housing and employment across the Greater Golden Horseshoe is a fluid process, because land supply data are not fixed once and for all. Ontario Municipal Board decisions, amendments to local official plans, and boundary adjustments constantly alter the numbers. In the first phase of analysis in 2013, Neptis researchers focused on estimating the extent of the “Designated Greenfield Area” (DGA).1 This was land set aside by municipalities in land budgeting exercises to accommodate the population and employment targets allocated by the Province for the period 2006–2031 in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

  • Canada Picks up the Torch 1956-1962
    16 17 CHAPTER TWO CANADA PICKS UP THE TORCH 1956-1962 “Progress means nothing unless people come along with it of their own free will. Efficiency is merely another name for tyranny unless it is consciously achieved by the voluntary actions of groups of human beings. It is up to people like you to make certain that mankind retains responsibility for and control of his environment and does not let the world slide into a state of confusion merely for lack of thought or foresight.” – HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, 1962 The success at Oxford in 1956 did not appear, initially at least, to portend a second Conference. Indeed, the Oxford Conference trustees – the Council – met on November 23, 1956, to begin dismantling the body that had carried the day so well four months earlier. The minutes of that meeting, under the chairmanship of Sir Harold Hartley, record that the first order of business was the terms of reference “to supervise the final winding up of the Conference affairs by the end of 1956 if possible.” Trustees also resolved to “determine and to dispose of any surplus funds at the termination of the Conference.” The Finance Committee reported a balance of £12,458. 9s. 1d. at Barclays Bank. When presented with an estimate of nearly £4,000 to print 5,000 copies of the Conference Report (including “400 presentation copies to be signed by His Royal Highness”), it was agreed “in view of the surplus funds at the disposal of the trustees” to authorize a “first printing” of 6,000 copies, including 3,500 complimentary copies.

In that year, many of the Clergy Reserves were transferred by the Crown to King's College, allowing the College the right to sell or lease each lot to raise funds. In July 1828, an agreement was signed between King's College and Joseph Gorman for the use of the lot. Gorman bought the parcel in June 1837 and the following month sold 122 acres to John McGrigor [McGregor].
