Curated Decay
Nova Scotians understand economic hardships at both the personal and community levels. This is especially true for the residents of Pictou County. With the eclipse of coal, steel, and heavy manufacturing, successive governments looked to tourism to augment an eroding economic base and to commemorate the working lives of Nova Scotians. This article offers an analysis of the initial decision to construct and maintain the Museum of Industry in a reg…

Harnessing Labour Confrontation
The 1940s in Canada are crucial to the understanding of labour history in this country. Following the Depression, and sparked by the need to mobilize the workforce during the Second World War, this decade led to a restructuring of the relationship between labour and the state. In Harnessing Labour Confrontation, Peter S. McInnis examines the reformation of Canadian society and its industrial relations regime from the perspective of labour organiz…

LABOUR BIOGRAPHIES and autobiographies present their readers with a vexing challenge. We are aware that this genre offers an all too rare opportunity to peer into the lives of working-class activists denied due appreciation or explication by a culture that celebrates wealth and privilege. At their best, labour biographies provide engrossing accounts of the lives of people who made a difference. Drawn into the Unfolding narrative we read on anxiou…
Teamwork for Harmony
During the Second World War, Canadian unions took advantage of special conditions to press their demands for increased participation in workplace decision making. In response to this volatile situation of strikes and militancy, the federal government experimented with concepts intended to foster improved cooperation between labour and capital. From this emerged one of the most successful and enduring cooperative initiatives, known as Labour-Manag…
All Solid along the Line
As the Canadian and international record will testify, the years between 1917-1920 were critically important to workers' aspirations for industrial unionism. An account of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers' Association (NIWA) has largely been passed over in the writing of the Island's labour history. Yet this organization figures prominently in the events which helped to shape the labour-capital relationship during the wartime period. In the Ne…
