| Summary: | Since 1968, labour relations in Quebec’s construction industry have been regulated by a unique legal framework. By integrating elements of the general labour relations regime and of the act on judicial extension of collective agreements, legislators reduced some conflicts associated with this industry and construction workers’ collective action. The progressive deregulation of this labour relations regime raises some questions about the future of industrial peace in this key sector of Quebec’s economy.The author presents an overview of this labour relations regime and of its evolution. The study of this case also reveals the relevance of industry studies for the research on labour and employment problems. Indeed, some issues transcend what is experienced at the level of individual workplaces and can only be grasped on a sectorial scale. |
