Tax Amazon, Not Working People”
This paper examines the role of labor and community left populist organizing in the Tax Amazon campaign based in Seattle, WA, USA. As a case study within a larger project that examines manifestations of both right-wing and left-wing populism in urban spaces, the paper presents a lens through which urban populism may be examined in relation to new forms of labor organizing, with a specific focus on the dynamics of left populist resistance. The Tax…
Austerity urbanism and recreation restructuring
This paper focuses on the period 2009 to 2019 and is principally concerned with two objectives: first, to determine how austerity urbanism has affected municipal recreation workers' conditions and quality of employment and, secondly, to asses how recreation restructuring has affected accessibility for users and whether there has been a differential impact for low-income and racialized communities. Drawing from interviews with both recreation work…
For the people? Regulating employment standards in an era of Right-wing populism
Set in the context of the June 2018 election of Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative provincial government in Ontario, this paper examines the implications of Right-wing populism for the regulation of legislated employment standards. Focusing on the Making Ontario Open for Business Act, 2018, the paper argues that the Ford Government’s Right-wing populism served to legitimate legislative changes that undermine workplace protections and workers’ r…
Blue Solidarity
With a focus on police unions in the United States and Canada, this article argues that the construction of 'blue solidarity', including through recent Blue Lives Matter campaigns, serves to repress racial justice movements that challenge police authority, acts as a counter to broader working class resistance to austerity and contributes to rising right-wing populism. Specifically, the article develops a case study analysis of Blue Lives Matter c…
Change and Continuity
"In a period characterized by growing social inequality, precarious work, the legacies of settler colonialism, and the emergence of new social movements, Change and Continuity presents innovative interdisciplinary research as a guide to understanding Canada’s political economy and a contribution to progressive social change. Assessing the legacy of the Canadian political economy tradition--a broad body of social science research on power, inequal…
The Employment Standards Enforcement Gap and the Overtime Pay Exemption in Ontario
Employment Standards (es) legislation sets minimum terms and conditions of employment in areas such as wages, working time, vacations and leaves, and termination and severance. es legislation is designed to provide minimum workplace protections, particularly for those with little bargaining power in the labour market. In practice, however, es legislation includes ways in which legislated standards may be avoided, including through exemptions that…
Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and SAR Studies of 14β-phenylacetyl Substituted 17-cyclopropylmethyl-7, 8-dihydronoroxymorphinones Derivatives
A series of 14β-acyl substituted 17-cyclopropylmethyl-7,8-dihydronoroxymorphinone compounds has been synthesized and evaluated for affinity and efficacy for mu (MOP), kappa (KOP), and delta (DOP) opioid receptors and nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors. The majority of the new ligands displayed high binding affinities for the three opioid receptors, and moderate affinity for NOP receptors. The affinities for NOP receptors are of partic…
Austerity, Right Populism, and the Crisis of Labour in Canada
In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, neoliberal governments embarked on austerity programs that include reducing public services, imposing public sector wage restraint, and reorganizing public sector working conditions and labour relations. In this context of economic crisis and austerity, populism has risen across North America and Europe on both the right and left of the political spectrum. The rise of right populism in particular con…
Populist Unionism Confronts Austerity in Canada
The 2008 financial crisis continues to have profound implications for workers worldwide, as governments have embarked on “austerity” programs and employers have confronted organized labor with concessionary demands, placing unions on the defensive. At the same time, populist movements have arisen across North America and Europe as increasing numbers of people grow disenchanted with government action and corporate incompetence. We examine the inte…

Global Industrial Relations? Framework Agreements and the Regulation of International Labor Standards
In response to an absence of effective methods of international labor standards regulation, International Framework Agreements (IFAs) have emerged as a strategy promote labor rights in transnational supply chains. This article analyzes IFAs, with particular attention given to their capacities to move beyond the weaknesses of unilateral corporate codes of conduct. By facilitating social dialogue between transnational corporations and global union …
