His research interests include labour organizing strategies, labour politics and radical political economy.

He is the editor of Unions and the City: Negotiating Urban Change (Cornell ILR Press, 2017). Mathieu Dupuis: is Assistant professor in labor relations, TÉLUQ Montréal – University of Québec. He is conducting research on trade unions, comparative employment relations, multinational corporations, and the manufacturing sector. Recent publication: 2018. “Crafting alternatives to corporate restructuring: Politics, institutions and union power in France and Canada” European Journal of Industrial Relations, 24(1): 39-54. Abstract: Labour-controlled investment is often touted as an alternative, pro-worker form of finance. Since 1983, the province of Québec in Canada has experimented with workers participation in the form of workers funds controlled by the two major trade union federations. Drawing on research from secondary sources, archival material and semi-structured interviews, this paper offers a comprehensive portrait of one of Québec main workers’ funds, the FTQ Solidarity Fund. To date very little has been said about the impact of workers funds on firm governance, employment quality and labour relations. We argue that any attempt to use investment to shape firm behaviour in the interests of workers and local unions is a limited and contradictory project.

  • Cyber Security and Manufacturing Foreword
    In partnership with: A BRIEFING FOR MANUFACTURERS BY MAKE UK MakeUK.org CYBER SECURITY AND MANUFACTURING FOREWORD A comprehensive approach to cyber security is not something that manufacturers can afford to ignore. Last year, for the first time, Make UK assessed the cyber security resilience of our sector across the UK. Our findings revealed a community increasingly alive to this risk, but with a hugely varying degree of preparedness in response. Since then the threat has continued to grow, but the response from manufacturers remains inconsistent. In the intervening time Make UK has not only renewed our findings, but we have designed and launched a suite of services specifically designed for manufacturers to assess their cyber security risk and do something about it. This is critical to our business. The 4th Industrial Revolution represents unprecedented opportunity through digitisation. But that very openness brings with it increased risk. The threat from cyber-attack is a major barrier to business and growth; threatening loss of data, theft of capital and intellectual property, disruption to business, and impact on trading reputation. As the UK’s voice of manufacturing, Make UK is playing its role in supporting our members in the face of this challenge. In partnership with Vauban Group, our new services are designed to help businesses quantify their cyber security risk and take affirmative action to mitigate against it. They will also help members demonstrate their cyber security safeguards to customers and suppliers, an ever more necessary requirement for businesses to operate in our sector. Cyber security is not a threat that manufacturers can avoid by remaining analogue.
