Brave New Words: Labour, The courts and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
No full textIn Health Services and Support – Facilities Subsector Bargaining
Association v. British Columbia, [2007] 2 S.C.R.
391, the Supreme Court of Canada overturned precedent and
concluded “that the grounds advanced in the earlier decisions for
the exclusion of collective bargaining from the Charter’s protection
of freedom of association do not withstand principled scrutiny
and should be rejected” (at para. 22). The author explores
the Supreme Court of Canada’s change of heart and what this
change implies, not only for constitutional doctrine, but also for
what the Court understands about the governance of the post-
Fordist world of work. She situates the Court’s reasoning in a
few key cases dealing with labour’s distinctive rights – to bargain
collectively and to strike – in the social context that both shapes
the legal discourse about labour rights and influences organized
labour’s power. She considers the paradox of the Supreme Court’s
embrace of Fordist labour rights in a post-Fordist economy, and
suggests a modest, though important, role that the Court could
play in fostering social justice in the brave new world of work.
Dans l’arrêt Health Services and Support – Facilities Subsector
Bargaining Association c. Colombie-Britannique [2007]
2 R.C.S. 391, la Cour Suprême du Canada a invalidé un précédent
et a conclu que «les motifs avancés dans les arrêts précédents
pour exclure les négociations collectives de la protection
accordée par la Charte à la liberté d’association ne résistent pas
à un examen fondé sur les principes pertinents et qu’ils devraient
être écartés» (au para. 22). L’auteure explore le revirement de la
Cour Suprême du Canada et ce qu’implique ce changement, non
seulement pour la doctrine constitutionnelle, mais aussi pour ce
que la Cour comprend au sujet de la façon de gouverner dans le
monde post-Fordiste du travail. Elle situe le raisonnement de la
Cour dans quelques cas-clés traitant des droits distinctifs des travailleurs
– la négociation collective et la grève – dans le contexte
social qui à la fois détermine la forme du discours juridique au
sujet des droits des travailleurs et influence le pouvoir du mouvement
syndical. Elle considère le paradoxe que la Cour Suprême épouse des droits des travailleurs Fordistes dans une économie post-Fordiste, et suggère un rôle modeste, mais important, que pourrait jouer la Cour pour favoriser la justice sociale dans le nouveau monde prometteur du travail

Making Claims for Migrant Workers: Human Rights and Citizenship
No full textMigrant workers claims for greater protection in a globalized world are typically expressed either in the idiom of international human rights or citizenship. Instead of contrasting these two normative frames, the paper explores the extent to which human rights and citizenship discourses intersect when it comes to claims by migrant workers. An analysis of the international human and labour rights instruments that are specifically designed for migrant workers reveals how neither discourse questions the assumption of territorial state sovereignty. Drawing upon sociological and political approaches to human rights claims, I evaluate the Arendtian-inspired critique of international human rights, which is that they ignore the very basis ‘right to have rights’. In doing so, I discuss the different dimensions of citizenship and conclude that international rights can be used by migrant workers to assert right claims that reinforce a conception of citizenship that, although different from national citizenship, has the potential to address their distinctive social location
An examination of the factors that influence municipalities to report performance measures online
No full textCurrently, the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in government is growing at a frenetic pace. Consequently, governments are relying upon ICTs to increase efficiency, improve effectiveness and enhance service delivery to the public. To accomplish this goal, governments are infusing features of e-governance to improve government-to-citizen (G2C) communication (Gibson, et al., 2002). Taking full advantage of available technology, many municipal governments have begun to report their performance measures online. While the activities of governments who select to communicate performance information to the public online seems as if it would be a natural progression within contemporary public administration, evidence supporting this activity is unclear. The crystallization of e-governance and performance reporting is the focus of this study. Specifically, this research examines online performance reporting to external stakeholders, thus the primary research question is: what are the factors influencing United States municipal governments to report performance measurement data online? This research applies a mixed methodology to assess the factors that influence local governments to publish performance measurement data online. The factors studied that are expected to impact online performance reporting are socioeconomic conditions, the structure of the government and leadership characteristics. A website content analysis of the 200 most populated U.S. cities was employed to examine the municipalities that publish performance data online. To evaluate the municipalities that do report performance online, an index was constructed that assesses 30 features of the performance report. Finally, 19 semi-structured interviews with municipal managers were conducted to explore additional factors that may impact online performance reporting at the local level of government. The study reveals that a great deal of variation exists within municipal governments that actually do report performance online. At this point, online performance reports commonly provide a great deal of general information and less substantive and exhaustive details. The results of this research may be viewed as an indication that online performance reporting is a unique feature of local governments and it is a phenomenon deeply rooted within the culture of governments who aim to be responsive and transparent to the public.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Marc Fudg

The Privatization of the Costs of Social Reproduction: Some Recent Charter Cases
No full textJudy Fudge examines several recent challenges brought by men to legislation that was originally designed to help single mothers support dependent children. She questions the roles which feminist lawyers have taken in these cases. While on the surface these cases appear contradictory, the decisions all support the state\u27s continuing attempt to shift the cost of childrearing from the public sphere to the private at the same time they reinforce the dependency of single mothers and their children upon men\u27s wages. The author cautions that, by focusing exclusively on equality rights in litigation, feminists may adopt strategies which reinforce the privatization of social reproduction and paternal control over children. Instead, she calls for alternative strategies such as publically-funded support schemes for single mothers. She concludes that it is important to recognize that judges are part of the state and thus have an interest in maintaining social relations of power. By recognizing the distinction between the public and private spheres, feminists can develop litigation strategies which further the political struggle to end women\u27s sexual and economic subordination to men
