What's Really at Stake? Insights from Nova Scotia Teachers’ Use of Social Media during Collective Bargaining
This study uses the case of the 2015-17 contract negotiations between the Government of Nova Scotia (Canada) and the Nova Scotia Teachers’ Union to understand (1) how the Government, the union, and individual educators framed the issues at stake in negotiations, and (2) how those perspectives were represented in traditional and social media. To answer these questions, I conducted two unique content analyses of news releases, social media posts, a…
Qualitative Research Studies Online
Solicited journal entries are a qualitative research method with a fairly strong tradition in sociological research and particularly in qualitative health research. However, the practices and strengths associated with solicited journal entries have not been explored as frequently or comprehensively as more conventional qualitative research methods, such as interviews. During the COVID-19 pandemic we carried out two online studies employing solici…
Organizing Baristas in Halifax Cafes
In 2012-2015, baristas engaged in union drives at five cafes in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In a series of semi-structured interviews with participants in and supporters of these drives, it became clear that issues of gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity were critical in understanding why and how these union drives evolved: women and queer baristas experienced gender-based discrimination and marginalization at work; they were noted leaders i…
Tweeting Care
In the neoliberal era , where teachers’ unions have suffered from a public backlash and legislative moves that have restricted collective bargaining rights and labour protections for educators, individual educators are becoming more politically active outside their unions. Some teachers are using a “narrative of care” when engaging in political dissent and resistance to articulate the caring components of their work and push back against a public…
Migration, Globalization, and the State
Drawing evidence from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the contributors illustrate that even within the common framework of economic globalization, the ways in which the int
Gender conscientization, social movement unionism, and labor revitalization
Since the 1980s, rates of unionization have been declining in Mexico, as they have in many Anglo- and Latin American countries, contributing to the marginalization of a once powerful political actor. It has been argued that labor revitalization in Mexico will require institutional reforms to the Federal Labor Law. This article suggests that important lessons for labor revitalization in Mexico can also be taken from discussions of social movement …
The missing link
Temporary labour migration is on the rise in the developed world. In May 2009, Canada's Parliamentary Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration issued a report on the state of temporary and undocumented foreign workers in Canada, making a series of recommendations to ensure that labour needs can be met through temporary foreign workers and that those workers are able to successfully integrate into Canadian society. The report highlights o…
Feminist Activism, Union Democracy and Gender Equity Rights in Mexico
Beyond competitive elections, democratisation should include a transformation of the institutions of state and civil society into spaces that recognise the rights of citizens and allow for their participation. This study explores the question of how Mexican labour unions are transformed into institutions with a commitment to the rights and participation of women workers. Drawing on evidence from five unions, the paper shows that compared to their…

Mexican Union Women and the Social Construction of Women's Labor Rights
While much has been written about organized labor's role in strengthening democratic rule and citizenship in Latin America, little research has been done on its role in expanding women's citizenship rights. A society's ideas about citizenship and the rights that reflect these ideas are not simply granted by the state. Rather, they result from civil society's continued discourse and struggle with and against the state. For traditionally marginaliz…
