Infos

A survey of "industrial legality", focusing on 1900-1948, when responses to workers' collective action were institutionalized. The book argues that a new regime of "legality", "industrial voluntarism", emerged, where state institutions began to take a major role in regulating industrial conflict.

This is a survey of the changing character of what the authors call "industrial legality", focusing on the critical period 1900-1948, during which specific responses to workers' collective action were institutionalized in Canada. The authors argue that the post-1900 period marked the emergence of a new regime of industrial legality, what they call industrial voluntarism, in which state institutions came to play an increasingly important role in regulating industrial conflict.
