Management and labor have been adversaries in American and Canadian
workplaces since the time of colonial settlement. Labor lacked full
legal legitimacy in Canada and the United States until the
mid-1930s and the passage of laws that granted collective
bargaining rights and protection from dismissal due to union
activity. The US National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) became
the model for labor laws in both countries. Organized labor began
to decline in the United States in the late 1960s due to a variety
of factors including electoral politics, internal social and
cultural differences, and economic change. Canadian unions fared
better in comparison to their American counterparts, but still
engaged in significant struggles. This analysis focuses on
management and labor interaction in the United States and Canada
from the 1930s to the turn of the second decade of the twenty-first
century. It also includes a short overview of employer and worker
interaction from the time of European colonization to the 1920s.
The book addresses two overall questions: In what forms did
management and labor conflict occur and how was labor-management
interaction different between the two countries? It pays particular
attention to key events and practices where the United States and
Canada diverged when it came to labor-management conflict including
labor law, electoral politics, social and economic change, and
unionization patterns in the public and private sectors. This book
shows that there were key points of convergence and divergence in
the past between the United States and Canada that explain current
differences in labor-management conflict and interaction in the two
countries. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and
students in the fields of management and labor history, employment
and labor relations, and industrial relations.
