Synopsis "Twenthy-Fifth Annual Report on Labour Organization in Canada: For the Calendar Year 1935 (Classic Reprint)"
Excerpt from Twenthy-Fifth Annual Report on Labour Organization in Canada: For the Calendar Year 1935The monthly issues of the Labour Gazette contain information as to conventions of the various labour organizations as well as other union activities.In Canada, labour organization falls into two classes: (1) international organizations having membership in Canada and the United States; (2) organizations whose membership is wholly in Canada. The Canadian branches of nearly all of the first group are in affiliation with the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada (referred to in a subsequent chapter). The sec-0nd group, made up of wholly Canadian bodies, is grouped according to affiliation under: Trades and Labour Congress of Canada; all-canadian Congress of Labour; National Catholic Unions, affiliated with the Federation of Catholic Workers of Canada, etc.The principal types of labour organization are the craft unions, including workmen in a single craft or a number of closely related crafts or trad-es, such as bricklayers and stone masons, and the industrial unions, those having members in the various occupations in a particular industry, for instance, in coal mining. Several of the first mentioned class include several crafts with helpers and labourers, so that they may be considered quasi-industrial unions. There is also a type of organization which organizes workers in all industries under one general union, centrally controlled, usually with sub-divisions by industries and localities. In a later section of this chapter the development of the various types of labour organization in Canada is briefly outlined.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
