The Canadian labour movement has undergone several fundamental
changes in response to demands for greater inclusion and
representation by women, visible and sexual minorities, and people
with disabilities." Equity, Diversity, and Canadian Labour"
explores the specific challenges put to outmoded conceptions of
labour, charting the effort made towards establishing a more
inclusive vision of labour in Canada. The study concludes that the
Canadian labour movement has seen a fair amount of progress in this
regard, though it still faces persistent impediments to equity and
suffers from an uneven responsiveness within and across diversity
issues.
This collection of original essays brings together contributors
from a variety of backgrounds - women's studies, political science,
sociology, industrial relations, and the labour movement itself.
They provide detailed analyses of significant changes in union
policies, practices, and cultures as viewed through different
disciplinary lenses. With reference to gender, race, disability,
and sexuality, the volume assesses the status of labour diversity
in Canada and suggests what still needs to be done to advance the
equity project.
An engaging look at the labour movement in Canada and
elsewhere," Equity, Diversity, and Canadian Labour" will appeal to
students, practitioners, and anyone interested in equity issues and
minority rights.
