Workers in Saskatchewan Now Have a Clear-Cut Bill of Rights
This paper examines the politics surrounding the construction, implementation, and administration of the Saskatchewan Trade Union Act (stua) between 1944 and 1950. The act is important because it reflects the first attempt by a social democratic government in North America to construct a system of labour law that ostensibly aligned socialist ideas with the rights of workers to form trade union freedoms. This makes the stua unique in Canadian labo…

Free to express yourself online while off-duty? Tracing jurisdictional expressions of shifting workplace boundaries in Canada
The myriad opportunities social media provide for amplifying individual expression are counterbalanced by the countless opportunities they afford employers to monitor and regulate employees’ off-duty speech. The embedding of social media platforms into peoples’ daily routines has blurred the boundaries between work and non-work domains. This presents a host of ethical, legal, and moral challenges pitting the rights and interests of employees agai…

Politics, transportation, and the people’s health
In May 2017, the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC), a 70-year-old bus company in Saskatchewan, Canada, was shut down through an austerity budget that saw several cuts. The government justified its decision on budgetary grounds although opponents cited possible negative impacts of the decision. A Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) was employed to examine discourses used by different actors to explain the closure and the implications of t…

The Legacy of Leo Panitch
The shock of Leo Panitch's untimely death in December of 2020 has worn off; our sense of profound loss has not.In the days that followed his passing, emails, editorials, obituaries, and forums appeared describing his immense intellectual, political, and personal influence.These tributes have captured something of his legacy, while also articulating the sadness experienced by so many of his friends and colleagues.Articles assessing his global infl…

Toward the Source of Thought
This article explores insights of physicist David Bohm on the source of thought and the creative intelligence that emerges from this source. It highlights a link that Bohm sees between this creative intelligence and the crises of our age, including environmental degradation, hunger, poverty, and climate change. It describes how creative intelligence gives rise to fresh “generative orders which may open us to new ways of thinking, new possibilitie…

Class Struggle from Above:The Canadian State, Industrial Legality, and (the Never-Ending Usage of) Back-to-Work Legislation Charles Smith (bio) In capitalist societies, few moments bring to the surface already existing class divisions more than a strike. When the poor, the dispossessed, the disadvantaged, and all those who work for wages engage in mass protest – through the withdrawal of their labour or by the mass disruption of bourgeois normali…

Note de la Rédaction Charles Smith and Joan Sangster Transitions. Si l'enseignement et la recherche sur l'histoire du travail et de la classe ouvrière ont eu un thème moteur au cours de la dernière décennie, il s'agit clairement de gérer de vastes transitions sociales et politiques. Née des mouvements de la nouvelle gauche dans les années 1960 et au début des années 1970, l'histoire du travail a mis au jour une communauté dynamique de jeunes univ…
The architecture of modern anti-unionism in Canada
Over the past four decades, governments have backed away from the promotion of collective bargaining in Canada resulting in a tendency towards anti-unionism. Examining this new reality, this article investigates two interrelated trends in Canadian anti-unionism over the last two decades in an effort to conceptualize the role of the state in regulating labour relations. First, we investigate legislative attempts to undermine or eliminate the abili…
Intimacy with the Earth
Crucial insights about our need to gain intimacy with the natural world are found in the writings of C. G. Jung and Marie Louise von Franz. These insights are informed by the tradition of ancient Sufi alchemists who emphasize intimacy with one's own nature as the key to relatedness to the natural world. This paper explores correspondences between the processes by which intimacy and relatedness are cultivated within Sufi schools and Jungian practi…
Wallace, Darwin and Ternate 1858
Recent debates on the mailing date of Alfred Russel Wallace's ‘Ternate essay’ to Charles Darwin in the spring of 1858 have ignored certain details that, once taken into account, alter the matter considerably. Here, a closer look is taken at the critical question of whether Wallace's manuscript-accompanying letter represented a reply to the Darwin letter that arrived in Ternate on 9 March; it is concluded that it very probably did not

Alfred Russel Wallace, Geographer
Among the great explorers and thinkers who advanced geography in the nineteenth century and helped it evolve into the subject that exists today is a man who is not always connected with the field, Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913). Most commonly recognized as 'the other man' in the history of the discovery of the principle of natural selection, Wallace's commitment to the study of landscape and its physical, biological, and human elements was lif…

A Dissipative Structure Model of Organization Transformation
Modern organizations must transform amidst the internal and external complexity and turbulence they face. Transformation processes are not understandable through the equilibrium models we most often use to describe system dynamics. More applicable system models, recently emerging within the physical sciences, incorporate disorder, uncertainty, and complexity and provide insight into the process of transformation, its characteristics and dynamics.…
Self-Organization in Small Groups
Dissipative self-organization, a theoretical framework with roots in physics and biochemistry, has often been proposed as having relevance to change in social systems. Specifically, the processes and design features associated with dissipative self-organization have been used to describe the dynamics of social groups and organizations, especially in cases where highly turbulent and/or near-chaos conditions are present. A study assessing the usefu…
Change in the Small Group
In living systems that are experiencing highly turbulent conditions, dissipative self-organization sometimes takes place and results in greater viability. The potential applications of the paradigm of dissipative self-organization to the study of change dynamics in small groups are explored. A certain type of change in groups is likened to change in dissipative structures found in the physical world, and group effectiveness amid complex and turbu…
