From Unwoven Societal Relationships to a Broad-Based Movement? Union Power in Societal Networks in Quebec (Canada)
Power resources are embedded in societal ties. Using qualitative network analysis, our fieldwork in Quebec (Canada), based on 30 interviews and three focus groups, explored union-societal ties, their resource properties and the extent to which unions weave them into a network. We identified five different types of union-societal ties: instrumental, civil society organizations, identity-based, satellite and fishing line. These ties were mostly unw…
In the interest of everyone? Support for social movement unionism among union officials in Quebec (Canada)
Using a mixed‐method research design involving interviews and a survey, we examined how union officials in Quebec perceive social movement unionism (SMU). We show that union officials view SMU as a multifaceted phenomenon with ideal and pragmatic dimensions. They are torn between strong support for the ideals of SMU and a practical reluctance to use members’ dues to provide services to non‐members. Experience with civil society organisations miti…
Manufacturing Change
There are three broad explanations for why workers adapt, or fail to adapt, to technological change in the workplace. The adversarial perspective holds that employment security produces resistant workers, and conversely that insecurity assures efficiency in adapting a workforce to technological and organizational changes. Institutionalists argue the opposite, emphasizing that secure workers have little to fear from change. Finally, a neo-corporat…

To Cut or Not to Cut
This article provides an empirical assessment of the social psychological underpinnings of arguments that link labor market security to wage flexibility. We employ data from two surveys of blue-collar manufacturing workers, one from Canada and the other from Sweden, that were conducted by the respective national statistics agencies. The dependent variable is a dichotomy tapping respondents' willingness to take a wage cut to save their jobs. Indep…

External Flexibility in Sweden and Canada
There is a substantial body of writing that identifies efficiency advantages from the provision of employment security, both within individual plants and at the level of the national economy. However, the business cycle persists in capitalist economies, so the question arises: how do managements deal with the fluctuations in the demand for labour which are associated with it? That is to say, what are management policies with respect to external f…
