The Origins and Application of the "Core of Indianness" in Indigenous Labour Relations
This article examines the history of, and legal precedent set by, Four B Manufacturing v. United Garment Workers of America, a 1980 Supreme Court of Canada case involving an Indigenous-owned manufacturing firm that resisted the efforts of its Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers to form a union on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, a reserve in southeastern Ontario. The employer, Four B, contested the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labour Relations B…
Superstack Nostalgia
The growth of industrial tourism and heritage has both fascinated and frustrated scholars of deindustrialization. Frequently, workers and class conflict are obscured in or expunged from the official narratives of industrial heritage. This article makes an original contribution to research on deindustrialization and industrial heritage through fieldwork in Sudbury, Ontario - a region that has seen a decades-long process of industrial restructuring…
A Feminist Political Economy Critique of 'the Militant Minority
Recent growth in strike activity in the United States and Canada has motivated a broad scholarship on union organizing and labour movement revitalization. However, researchers and activists particularly concerned with the role of member mobilization in union renewal have downplayed institutional changes to labour law and regulation which might address the decline of union density and worker power. This commentary offers a feminist political econo…

Engaging with labour geography andlabour movement renewal scholarship, the article explores how identity formation andinstitutional structures interact to shape workers’ understandings of their inter…
Right‐wing populism, organized labor, and white workers in Sudbury, Ontario
This article uses the context of the 2018 provincial election victory of Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government in Ontario, Canada, to understand the potential appeal of right populist ideas among some workers in Northern Ontario. The article is based on analyses of in-depth interviews with nickel miners at Vale Ltd, members of the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 6500, in Sudbury. The political context of these interviews is particularly…
Critical reflections on the job guarantee proposal
This article assesses the job guarantee (JG) from two angles. First, by tracing some of the JG’s intellectual origins in the inflationary crises of the 1970s, it questions contemporary claims about the JG’s potential to increase workers’ bargaining power. Second, it critiques antiwelfare thinking among JG advocates by showing how their normative claims about the dignity of employment both obscure the centrality of unpaid social reproductive labou…
The Forgotten Work of Cultural Workers
This paper is based on work history interviews with a group of nine Toronto theatre workers covering a three-year period. During the interviews, participants did not spontaneously mention 13.1 per cent of their jobs in the creative cultural sector. Because forgotten work fails to register in surveys attempting to assess cultural workers' contributions to the economy or to ameliorate their precarious conditions, it is important to explore why and …
