  • The Cornerstone Oflabour's Success in Workplace Restructuring
    International Contributions to Labour Studies 19?7, 7, 19-36 The strategic use of cooperation and conflict: the cornerstone oflabour's success in workplace restructuring Ann C. Frost* Examining the experience of a Canadian Steelworker local in dealing with workplace restructuring, the author argues that labour strategies comprised of both cooperative and conflictual elements can produce successful outcomes for both labour and management. Undertaking cooperative ventures with management allows the union and its members access to decisions formerly the sole perogative of management. At the same time, engaging in conflict when labour's interests diverge from those of management can improve the outcomes of that cooperative process. The leverage labour gains through conflict can encourage workers to openly contribute their insights and knowledge to the redesign of work knowing that their interests will be protected by their union. It also can force management to consider issues and criteria for decision making that it may otherwise not and that may in the long run produce better outcomes. Introduction Much recent empirical work in industrial relations has focused on the strategic choices of management to explain the variation in approaches to solving firms' shop-floor com­ petitiveness problems (Arthur, 1992; Cappelli, 1985; Kochan, Katz and McKersie, 1986). For the most part, research in this stream has tended to view labour as largely reactive, arraying labour's responses to management's actions along a continuum from cooperative to militant (Katz, 1988; Walton, Cutcher-Gershenfeld and McKersie, 1994). Further, in much of this literature, successful outcomes are generally seen to emerge as a result of a relationship of trust between labour and management that enables labour to adopt a cooperative approach in reaction to management's workplace initiatives (Bluestone and Bluestone, 1992; Rubinstein, Bennett and Kochan, 1993).

  • Long Point Region, Kettle Creek and Catfish Creek Integrated Water Budget
    Long Point Region, Kettle Creek and Catfish Creek Integrated Water Budget Final Report April 2009 Prepared by LONG POINT REGION, CATFISH CREEK AND KETTLE CREEK INTEGRATED WATER BUDGET REPORT Executive Summary For the purposes of the Clean Water Act (MOE, 2006), a partnership was formed in 2004 between the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA), Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA), Catfish Creek Conservation Authority (CCCA) and Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (KCCA) to form the Lake Erie Source Protection Region. The four Conservation Authorities agreed to jointly undertake research, public education, and watershed planning and management for the advancement of drinking water source protection for the respective watersheds. This report documents the approach and findings of the Integrated Water Budget for the Long- Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (LPRCA / CCCA / KCCA) Study Area. The Integrated Water Budget outlined in this document is meant to partially fulfill the requirements of the Province of Ontario’s Clean Water Act (2006), and follows the guidelines developed by the Province (MOE, 2007). A water budget, as described by the Province’s Water Budget Guidance Document (MOE, 2007), is an understanding and accounting of the movement of water and the uses of water over time, on, through, and below the surface of the earth. This Report implements the use of two coupled models, a continuous streamflow-generation model (GAWSER) and a steady-state groundwater flow model (FEFLOW), as well as a rigorous water demand estimation process. It provides an extensive and integrated understanding of hydrologic processes and water use in the Long Point Region, Catfish Creek, and Kettle Creek Conservation Authorities.
