NEW ELECTRONIC JOURNAL, JUST LABOUR, NOW ON-LINE
York University's Centre for Research on Work and Society is pleased to announce the new electronic journal, Just Labour: A Canadian Journal of Work & Society. It is now on-line at: http://www.justlabour.yorku.ca. Massive changes in the workplace and workforce require the timely analysis of the restructuring of work and all its social, economic and political consequences. New technologies, subcontracting, new management strategies and the growth of self-employment are undermining the traditional employee-employer relationship and increasingly disciplining workers. While working lives are being transformed, so are the collective abilities of workers to resist these changes through union action. There is a growing need for sophisticated information and analysis by academics and trade unionists. Just Labour seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and the research activities undertaken by trade unionists. Our goal is to provide a venue that 'transfers' knowledge between union and academic audiences. The journal publishes material by both university-based and trade union researchers in a format that is accessible to a broad readership.
