Equity, Diversity, and Canadian Labour explores the specific challenges put to outmoded attitudes and practices, charting the efforts made by organized labour in Canada towards addressing discrimination in the workplace and within unions themselves. While there has been a fair amount of progress in this regard, persistent impediments to equity and uneven responsiveness within and across diversity issues remain.This collection of original essays brings together contributors from a variety of academic backgrounds - women's studies, political science, sociology, industrial relations - and from the labour movement itself to examine union policies, practices, and cultures with respect to diversity issues. The first comprehensive analysis of Canadian labour's response to challenges on gender, race, disability, and sexual orientation issues since the 1980s, the book aims to highlight the structural and cultural developments that have taken place within the labour movement around equality rights, and to provide a forum for debates about the extent to which union democracy has been reshaped as a result of equity activism. 606 $aLabor unions$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aLabor unions$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aLabor movement$zCanada 606 $aLabor union democracy$zCanada 606 $aPay equity$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor unions$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLabor unions$xPolitical activity 615 0$aLabor movement 615 0$aLabor union democracy 615 0$aPay equity 676 $a331.880971 700 $aHunt$b Gerald, $0991604 702 $aHunt$b Gerald$f1948- 702 $aRayside$b David M$g(David Morton),$f1947- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456557403321 996 $aEquity, diversity, and Canadian labour$92269411 997 $aUNINA
