Organizing Local Messengers: Working Conditions and Barriers to Unionization
As a result of concerns around declining memberships and the growth of precarious employment in recent years, unions have sought to expand their jurisdictions and organize groups of workers who have typically resisted collective bargaining. Research on union renewal has examined working conditions and workplace structures that may give rise to successful organizing campaigns. In this paper we examine working conditions amongst non-unionized same-…
Unpaid work, capital and coercion
Over the past several decades, household work has generated a dramatic outflow of research and theory on unpaid work. Here, the authors (who shared equally in the writing of this paper) examine multiple forms of unpaid work and propose that in the contemporary capitalist economy the key dimensions of unpaid work are: first, that it is not compensated in terms of direct payments by capital; second, that elsewhere in the economy the same activities…
Standardising public service: The experiences of call-centre workers in the Canadian federal government
This paper explores the impact of the adoption of neoliberal economic policies and practices on public sector jobs within the Canadian Federal government. In recent years, employment in the public sector has been increasingly shifted to a call-centre format, thereby transforming the working conditions of public servants as well as access to services enjoyed by Canadians. By adopting work practices, technologies and managerial techniques usually f…
Behind the screens: Telemediated work in the Canadian public sector
Among the recent measures undertaken in Canada to adapt the public sector to the ‘new economy’ in order to maintain or enhance economic competitiveness on an international level has been the adoption of new technologies and e-government, affecting both labour processes and service delivery. All three levels of government — municipal, provincial, and federal — have adopted ‘virtual service techniques’. This paper examines telemediated processes an…
Caught in the Net: The Impact of Changes to Canadian Employment Insurance Legislation on Part-time Workers
Throughout Western highly industrialised countries, there has been a marked shift toward more conservative social policies signalling a dismantling of the welfare state as part of the process of globalisation. This paper examines the aetiology of the (un)employment insurance programme in the Canadian context. Recently, legislators have tightened eligibility rules, lowered earnings replacement rates and altered coverage requirements. While these c…
On the Front Line: Organization of Work in the Information Economy
The importance of customer service is widely emphasized in business today. This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the organization and dynamics of front-line work. The volume is based on a four-year study of over a thousand employees and eight leading companies in the United States, Australia, and Japan. On the Front Line reveals similarities and differences found in work environments--such as variance in authority relations and div…
Canadian part-time work into the Millennium: On the cusp of change
This paper examines the general evolution of part-time work in the Canadian context and the related scholarship on insecure employment. We analyse the major factors implicated in the expansion of part-time employment and speculate on the further evolution of this form of peripheral employment and its likely implications in particular for women, youth, and older workers. Finally, we discuss the challenge to unions and the state in addressing the q…

Far from being separate enti ties, the big three are overlapping spheres converging into a higher unity. Intermingling among members is free and open. The retired military general becomes an important political figure; an expolitician may become a corporate chieftain. Because of the overlapping membership, any one of the big three cann…
