Sooner or Later, You’ll Discover Kelvinator”: The Causes and Consequences of a Plant Closure in an Ontario City in the Late 1960s
The loss of manufacturing jobs is an ongoing challenge for organized labour in Canada and a trend that has been happening for several decades. The loss of full-time, unionized factory work in Canada is commonly thought to have started in the 1990s or 2000s, but the possibility of deindustrialization was already evident in the late 1960s. This article examines the closure of the Kelvinator of Canada plant in London, Ontario, in 1969. That closure …

Making Managers in Canada, 1945–1995: Companies, Community Colleges, and Universities
Management education and training was a key influence on Canadian capital and labour in the post-World War II decades, however it has been the subject of comparatively little academic inquiry. In many ways, historians have frequently learned about management behavior in unionized workplaces by examining labor-management relations. The management experience has thus often been seen through the eyes of rank-and-file workers rather than from the per…
Caterpillar Hates Unions More Than It Loves Profits: The Electro-Motive Closure and the Dilemmas of Union Strategy
The February 2012 closure of London, Ontario's Electro-Motive Diesel by the notoriously anti-union US multinational Caterpillar symbolizes the deep challenges faced by private sector unions in globalized industries. This closure was the final blow in Caterpillar's negotiations with Canadian Auto Workers Local 27. This article explores the implications of changes in corporate structure, investment, and labour-relations strategy in manufacturing th…
Union Power: Solidarity and Struggle in Niagara by Carmela Patrias and Larry Savage
Much of the labor and working-class history that has been written in the past forty years has relied on local case studies to reveal broad regional, national, and even international themes. Union Power: Solidarity and Struggle in Niagara by Carmela Patrias and Larry Savage does not buck that trend. It is a study of the Niagara Region on the northern side of the US-Canada border. This region is now primarily known for tourism; its rich industrial …

Organization men and women: Making managers at Bell Canada from the 1940s to the 1960s
The development of management as an occupation in post-World War II Canada is a topic that has received some attention from historians, but it is still an aspect of work and labor history that merits closer attention. This article seeks to reveal something about the nature of management work in Canada in the postwar decades by looking at how managers at Bell Canada were trained from the late 1940s to the late 1960s. This includes examining manage…

Inoculation and Mental Processing: The Instrumental Role of Associative Networks in the Process of Resistance to Counterattitudinal Influence
This investigation introduced the concept of associative networks to the resistance domain. A four-phase experiment was conducted involving 298 participants. The results confirmed the role of known elements in the process of resistance: the core elements of threat, issue involvement, and counterarguing output facilitated resistance, as did the more recently introduced element of attitude certainty. Also, the results indicated that inoculation tre…
Okin’s Rawlsian Feminism: Justice in the Family and Another Liberalism
L'A. denonce l'utilisation que fait S. M. Okin de la theorie de la justice de J. Rawls comme un outil pour defendre sa propre conception du feminisme liberal. Soulignant l'incompatibilite de la methodologie de Rawls avec le feminisme contemporain, l'A. montre que la tradition liberale illustree par M. Nussbaum et L. T. Hobhouse fournit un cadre normatif neo-aristotelicien plus adequat a la position de Okin
