ABSTRACT Child labours constituted a visible and important element of the urban landscape in late 19th centuq Saint John, New Brunswick. Hundreds of children found employment selling newspapers, taking in sewing. driving teams or working in one of the cityfs numerous factories or retail establishments. Working-class boys and girls went to work because their families needed their earnings to make ends meet and because employers required a cheap and productive workforce. The visibility of urban child labourers and their harsh working conditions attracted the attention of local progressive-minded reformers. These men and women endorsed a collectivist philosophy which downplayed individual rights and stressed the need for state intervention in the private sphere to improve social conditions.

    Documenting Working Class History: North American Traditions and New Approaches Recently British working class historian E.J. Hobsbawm began an important theoretical paper on the state of the discipline with the assertion that "labour history is today flourishing in most countries as never before."' This is certainly true in Canada where the last five years have witnessed a remarkable renaissance in working class studies. The political upheavals of the 1960s, the increased militancy of the Canadian working class, and the structural problems of world capitalism have led to a significant new interest in working class history. This paper surveys briefly the history of North American labour studies and labour archives, and then turns to late nineteenth-century Toronto for examples of interest areas for archival work to aid the new working class history. 1 A short account of the North American archival traditions concerning working class materials must blend intellectual, political and working class history. In the late nineteenth century, class conflict helped generate an intellectual curiosity and concern that led to the first serious attempts to collect labour materials. Out of the post-Civil War class struggles in the United States came the first states' bureaus of labour statistics which represented an initial effort to gather data on the American workers who were staffing the factories of a rising industrial capitalism. In Canada a similar type of data collection began a decade later with the Ontario Bureau of Industry Reports. On both sides of the border these institutions were initially staffed by labour activists and the information that they collected and published demonstrated contemporary working class concerns about standard of living.

  • ITHER LABOUR HISTORY Regionalism, Class, and the Writing of BC History
    FORUM W[H]ITHER LABOUR HISTORY Regionalism, Class, and the Writing of BC History MARKLEIER s BC LABOUR HISTORY IN DECLINE? Certainly it is fashionable everywhere today to claim that labour history has had its day. Yet I in Canada every regional journal and most wider journals, such as the Canadian Historical Review and Histoire Sociale, regularly publish articles in the field of labour history. And there is, of course, a first- class journal, Labour/Le Travail, that is devoted to labour and work­ ing-class history. As other fields complain about the lack of synthesiz­ ing works, Canadian labour history has produced three: Desmond Morton's Working People, now in its third edition; Craig Heron's The Canadian Labour Movement', and Bryan Palmer's Working Class Expe­ rience, now in its second edition.1 In BC, we have a long tradition of producing book-length histories of the labour movement, starting with the work of Communist Party of Canada (CPC) writers William Bennett and Harold Griffin, through Paul Phillips's No Power Greater, to the work by former CPC member Jack Scott in the 1970s.2 Articles, theses, and books on BC labour history make up a * This is a revised version of a paper presented to the New Directions in BC History Conference, May 1995, University of Northern British Columbia.

  • Reviews Essays/Notes Critiques
    Reviews Essays/Notes critiques Working-Class History in English Canada in the 1980s: An Assessment SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A DECADE AGO "the new working-class history" emerged in Canada. It was an occasion marked by considerable enthusiasm as ringing manifestos promised "to bring back ordinary working people from their long exile on the margins of Canadian history".1 Existing institutional histories of trade unions and industrial relations, it was pointed out, told us remarkably little about the experience of workers or, in more general terms, about the nature of social class in Canadian history. On the basis of this critique of the existing historiography, a new generation of working-class historians set out an ambitious agenda. The complexity of workers' experience could only be understood in its totality, requiring an understanding of social relations as they evolved within workplaces, neighbourhoods, ethnic and fraternal associations, political parties, and (as somewhat of an afterthought) families. Only this level of investigation could reveal the myriad of interconnections which provide the texture of what historians were coming to recognize as an autonomous working-class culture. Herein lay the key to understanding working-class activity. Naturally, this was a tall order. Labour historians were challenged to move far beyond the bounds of trade unions and labour parties to understand class-based behaviour. And, in the 1980s, the order continued to grow taller. An interest in workers' daily life soon meshed with feminist historians' concern to understand the determinants of women's position in both the workplace and society. The two forms of women's participation in production, as (often temporary) paid workers in the labour force and as unpaid domestic workers in the household, it was soon apparent, could not be viewed in isolation from each other.

  • Solidarity by Association: the Unionization of Faculty, Academic Librarians and Support Staff at Carleton University (1973–1976)
    Solidarity by Association: The Unionization of Faculty, Academic Librarians and Support Staff at Carleton University (1973–1976) by Martha Attridge Bufton, B.B.A (Hons) A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2013, Martha Attridge Bufton Abstract In the mid-1970s, three employee groups at Carleton University changed campus labour relations dramatically: the professors and librarians who belonged to the Carleton University Academic Staff formed the first Ontario faculty union in June 1975; nine months later the Ontario Labour Relations Board certified the Carleton University Support Staff Association as the bargaining agent for the administrative and technical staff. The history of faculty labour action at Carleton has been told but not that of either academic librarians or support staff so this case of unionism provides a unique opportunity to compare their experiences. Working primarily with oral histories, I argue that status was critical to mobilizing labour action at Carleton. These employees—many of whom were women—wanted a fair workplace but deliberately chose an independent association over a trade union because such “solidarity by association” was compatible with their deeply held beliefs about their work and place on campus. ii Acknowledgements This is first and foremost an oral history project and so the place of honour goes to the women and men who shared their stories—I am most grateful not only for their time but for the legacy they have left to those of us who are working at Carleton University and enjoying the benefits that come from a unionized workplace.
