You have spoken and expressed enthusiastic support for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. The executive officers and I can say with absolute certainty that the individual you chose is the right ‘she is the only candidate for the ATU. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a compassionate, thoughtful, and experienced champion for the issues that matter most to our members – and it is clear that our members recognize that. candidate who regularly raises ONLY CANDIDATE WITH A DETAILED MASS TRANSIT PLAN the issue of mass Senator Clinton is the only candidate who has released a detailed plan on how she intends to improve mass transit in this country. She is the only candidate who regularly raises the issue of mass transit transit...’ funding in debates and other public appearances. In her seven years as a U.S. senator, she has fought for increased funding for mass transit, the continuation of our Section 13(c) transit labor protections, improved and increased access to affordable health care, and retirement security. As President, she will propose and with Democratic majorities in both houses, sign legislation into law that enacts and enforces the issues, like health care for all, that she has fought so hard for in the U.S. Senate. A FIGHTER Senator Clinton is a fighter, who not only has the drive, but has the commitment, the passion and the ability to get things done for America’s transit workers and all working men and women in the U.S. I am proud of your decision, and proud to announce that ATU enthusiastically endorses Hillary Clinton for President. I hope you will support our endorsement and will work with the ATU over the next 11 months to send the ATU-endorsed candidate to the White House. It’s our job to make sure the rest of America chooses Hillary their next President. In the meantime, on behalf of myself, my wife Janice, and the rest of the George family, I wish the happiest of holidays and a peaceful and successful New Year! May this new year be the year we elect a worker-friendly President, Senate and House! www.atu.org NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2007 3 NOV / DEC 2 0 0 7 www.atu.org Vol.

  • 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.

  • S Labour Movement in Crisis
    Canada’s Labour Movement in Crisis The Crisis in the ATU: Labour Shoots Itself in the Foot By Prof. Sam Gindin and Herman Rosenfeld Region: Canada Global Research, March 15, 2017 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty Socialist Project & Social Inequality A sign of the tragic disarray of the Canadian labour movement is the extent to which its misadventures keep piling up. As the turmoil within the union representing the Ontario government’s unionized employees (Ontario Public Service Employees Union – OPSEU) hits the press, the chaos continues in Local 113 of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). The 10,500 members in that local – over a third of the ATU’s Canadian membership – operate and maintain Toronto’s transit system, North America’s third largest public transit system, behind only New York and Mexico City. As with OPSEU, the acrimonious story is not about a tough strike or a response to an anti-union government. Rather, at a time when the union should be leading the charge to address popular frustrations with the failures in the city’s transit system, the local is preoccupied with a messy internal battle. Members of ATU Local 113 who work for Veolia Tansport on strike, October 2011 to Januay 2012. Local 113 President Bob Kinnear had attempted to break away from its American-based parent and, in what was quickly apparent, to join Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union. For the time being he has clearly failed. The tale is mired in territorial conflicts over the members involved, legacies of personal nastiness among Canadian union leaders, whispers of conspiracy on the part of Unifor and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), of national flag waving and charges of U.S.

September 1993 Industrial Relations Centre Queen's University Kingston, Ontario Canada K7L 3N6 A paper presented at the Annual Conference of the Canadian Industrial Relations Association, Carleton University, Ottawa, June 3-5, 1993. The paper is based on a larger study of the role of unions and collective bargaining in human resource innovations undertaken by the author as a part of a research project on Human Resource Management in Canada under the auspices of Industrial Relations Centre, Queen's University. Canadian Labour's Response to Work Reorganization Summary Workplaces are changing under relentless management pressures to transform methods of production and work in response to changing markets and technology. New forms of work organization, emphasizing flexible work practices, team work, employee involvement, skill- based and performance related compensation systems, and a "cooperative" labour- management relationship to foster a participatory enterprise culture, pose serious challenges to trade unions as well as provide them new opportunities to increase their role and influence in management decision-making. This paper documents and evaluates Canadian labour's response to work reorganization, focusing on the recent agendas of the Canadian Auto Workers, the Steelworkers, and the Communications Workers now a part of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.

  • It Is a Collection of Four Case Studies…Exploring Recent
    Thomas 1 UNION STRATEGIES TO RE-REGULATE WORKING TIME Mark Thomas Department of Sociology, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada he processes of economic restructuring that began in the early 1970s within many industrialized economies led to profound Tchanges in the organization of work. These changes include rising unemployment, the collapse of income security policies, and an increased individualization of economic risks, creating what European sociologist Ulrich Beck (2000) defines as a ‘political economy of insecurity’. Growing precariousness in job tenure, and increased ‘flexibility’ for employers to determine conditions of work, are key characteristics in this contemporary social context. The organization of working time - time spent engaged in paid employment - figures prominently in these broader change processes. Working time is a central concern in today’s labour market, as the conditions of ‘time flexibility’ that became familiar to Canadians during the 1990s - part-time work, more overtime, and a lack of control over work time - have had a negative effect on people’s capacities to balance work and non-work responsibilities and activities (Duxbury et al. 2003). Recent research suggests that the economic and social impacts of working time re-regulation affect not only job quality and employment stability, but also gender equity and broader relations of social reproduction (Golden and Figart 2000). Yet, while there is a growing body of scholarly research that examines the nature of changes to the organization of working time
