Refinery town in the petrostate
In 2019, Regina’s Co-operative Refinery Complex locked out the 730 members of Unifor Local 594 amid record profits in an aggressive drive for significant pension concessions. Marred by sweeping antipicketing injunctions, an enormous scab operation, police repression, and general public enmity, the lockout suggests two overlapping trends. First, the union’s adherence to co-operative and conciliatory bargaining had left it ill equipped to confront—…
Foreign workers in the West
For the first time in generations prairie capitalism has come to rely on migrant labor. Specifically, a global division of labor that intersects with the constellation of Canada's foreign worker programs has shaped the contemporary political economic character of the "New Saskatchewan." These programs function to construct labour markets for growing low-wage industries that exist alongside high-wage resource sector employment in Western Canada. A…
Trajectories of Union Renewal
Western Canada's oil-exporting economies have come to rely on migrant labour as a cornerstone of economic development. A global division of labour intersecting with the constellation of Canada's migrant worker programs has shaped the contemporary political-economic character of many Canadian provinces, including Saskatchewan. These programs have worked to construct bifurcated labour markets for growing low-wage industries that exist alongside hig…

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…

The decline in mortality due to acute complications of diabetes mellitus in Brazil, 1991–2010
Mortality from acute complications of diabetes in Brazil has declined markedly in parallel with the implementation of a national health system providing access to insulin and organization of health care. Further decline is possible and necessary
Óbitos registrados com causa básica hanseníase no Brasil
O presente estudo objetivou descrever as características dos óbitos que tiveram como causa básica a hanseníase, registrados no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM), e comparar estas características entre os grupos de óbitos cujos casos foram notificados e não notificados no Sistema de Informação sobre Agravos de Notificação (Sinan). Foram incluídos os óbitos com causa básica hanseníase, ocorridos no Brasil no período 2004-2009, e os cas…
An Era of Wildcats and Sick-outs in Canada? The Continued Decline of Industrial Pluralism and the Case of Air Canada
In the winter of 2012, the Canadian federal Conservative government introduced back-to-work legislation prohibiting work stoppages at Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada. In the following weeks, wildcat strikes by baggage handlers, ground crew, and even pilots rattled the company. These disputes were preceded in 2011 by another instance of back-to-work legislation and threats of legislation against Air Canada’s customer service workers and fligh…
Desigualdades de gênero na mortalidade por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis no Brasil
A carga de doença atribuída às doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) está aumentando globalmente, sendo em geral maior em homens. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever os diferenciais por gênero na mortalidade e tendências por DCNT no Brasil. Taxas padronizadas de mortalidade foram calculadas para os anos 1991-2010 após correção por subregistro e causas mal definidas, empregando faixas etárias de cinco anos específicas para homens e mulheres. …

Prospects for trade unions and labour organisations in India's IT and Ites industries
Drawing on interviews conducted with trade unionists and labour activists in 2008, this article addresses nascent unions and professional associations operating in India's information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITES) industries. This work builds upon the literature that is developing around unionisation within knowledge- and information-based workplaces, and is particularly informed by the work of Mosco and McKercher (Mosco & McKerc…

HIV testing in antenatal clinics
One hundred and fifty-five women attending antenatal clinics in an inner city area where the rate of AIDS reporting is high were interviewed to examine the acceptability of different modes and purposes of antenatal HIV testing. Eighty-two per cent of women felt the test should be available in antenatal clinics, but only 48% reported that they themselves would take the test. Seventy-four per cent would accept anonymous testing. Potential anxiety l…
