520 1  "The 1940s, a decade of heightened militancy and struggle 
       on the shop floor and on the picket line, were crucial 
       years in the labour history of Canada. The experience of 
       the Depression, closely followed by the mass mobilization 
       of the workforce during the Second World War and later by 
       the economic optimism of the postwar years, provided the 
       impetus that led to a restructuring of the relationship 
       between labour and the state. In Harnessing Labour 
       Confrontation, Peter S. McInnis examines the reformation 
       of Canadian society and its industrial-relations regime 
       from the perspective of labour organizations and their 
       supporters and from that of government and business. What 
       results is a synthesis of labour and political history in 
       which the author analyses the role of debate and 
       confrontation in the formation of the national postwar 
       compromise and in the birth of the modern welfare state." 
       "McInnis explores the constraints and possibilities that 
       faced the labour movement in that era, as well as the 
       conditions that give rise to industrial legality. He 
       identifies the factors affecting the postwar compromise, 
       including the divided jurisdiction between federal and 
       provincial governments, the return to gender-biased social
       norms, a developing Cold War climate of national 
       insecurity, and a promise of strong consumer purchasing 
       power based on postwar wage and benefit packages. A 
       formative moment in Canadian history, the 1940s left as a 
       legacy not only the welfare state but also the legal 
       framework that has defined organized labour for five 
       decades."--Jacket.
