«Work And Labour In Canada: Critical Issues» This original and timely book focuses on critical issues surrounding work and labour in Canada. It is an ideal core or additional text for Sociology of Work courses, which often integrate labour, industry, and the global economy from a Canadian perspective. This book will also be relevant to a wide range of courses in Labour Studies and Industrial Relations programs across Canada. As well, policy makers and labour activists will be keenly interested in this new book. The thesis is change.Work and Labour in Canada examines changes in the labour market, and in workplaces, with a strong empirical component based upon recent Statistics Canada data. The chapters are tailored to an undergraduate audience. They are masterfully written from a labour perspective – that is, concerned with the impacts of changes on workers – but also written on the basis of empirical evidence with supporting summaries of the academic research literature. The material is up-to-the-minute and logically organized. The first section, a well-rounded introduction to the Canadian workplace, discusses why jobs are important; work, wages, and the living standards of Canadian working people; taking life-long learning seriously; and the unhealthy Canadian workplace. The second main part is devoted to gender and race inequalities – specifically, women in the workforce, minorities in the workforce, and older workers in transition to retirement. (‘Minorities’ includes workers of colour and recent immigrants, Aboriginal Canadians, and persons with disabilities.) Contemporary Canadian unions are also discussed at length, which helps to set the stage for the final section: Canada in a global perspective. The impacts of globalization and Free Trade are analysed. Key issues revisited throughout the book include good jobs/bad jobs, family struggles, unemployment, women and work, race/ethnicity and work, as well as Canada in a comparative, global context.

«Labour Worldwide in the Era of Globalization: Alternative Union Models in the New World Order (International Political Economy Series)» The trade union movement internationally is finding itself peripheralized by a series of mutually-reinforcing processes: the on-going world economic crisis; the uneven transition from an industrial to an information and service capitalism; the aggressive policies of neo-liberalism; the collapse of Communism and Radical Nationalism; the decline of the globalization that undermines the nation-state to which union hopes have long been pinned. The editors argue that this crisis provides an opportunity for labor to recover or reinvent itself.
