The Lingan strike of 1882–83 was the last in a series of strikes over a two-decade period on Cape Breton Island’s Sydney coalfield. With the use of untapped local sources, this article reconstructs the history of this understudied strike within a broader history of social relations on the coalfield. The migration of labourers from the island’s backland farms – predominantly from Highland enclave settlements – to the coal mines played a decisive role in shaping the era’s new coal mining villages and the character of social conflict. By the early 1880s, structural change associated with National Policy industrialism was eroding the old authority of the coal operators, and miners embraced the Provincial Workmen’s Association (pwa) to advance their claims in long-standing and highly localized contestations. Ultimately the coal communities themselves imposed the emergent trade unionism. The Lingan strike marked a transition to a new political order on the coalfield, structured by the place of the coal mines within the wider Cape Breton countryside and built upon a powerful localism and moral economy that recast the public sphere and the miners’ place in it.

This article examines the history of, and legal precedent set by, Four B Manufacturing v. United Garment Workers of America, a 1980 Supreme Court of Canada case involving an Indigenous-owned manufacturing firm that resisted the efforts of its Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers to form a union on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, a reserve in southeastern Ontario. The employer, Four B, contested the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labour Relations Board and argued, unsuccessfully, that as an “Indian enterprise,” its own operations were a matter of federal jurisdiction. We return to the case of Four B for three interrelated reasons. First, we argue that Four B remains relevant because of the ways that the political economy of settler-colonial Canada continues to structure Indigenous enterprises, labour, and employment as ongoing sites of tension. Second, as the inaugural case dealing with the “core of Indianness” – a contested legal concept used by the courts to determine federal jurisdiction over Indigenous labour – this case both set the legal precedent and shaped the subsequent political terrain of Indigenous labour relations. Third, the issues addressed in Four B contextualize recent jurisdictional struggles over Indigenous enterprises, labour, and employment in what we term the “Indigenous public sector” – namely, health care, social services, and First Nations government administration. The article reviews the case history of Four B, setting this against the backdrop of deindustrialization in southeastern Ontario during the period, before tracing how the case influenced the juridical and political landscape of Indigenous labour relations. We close by considering the potential tensions between Indigenous self-determination and the exercise of collective bargaining rights by Indigenous workers.
这篇文章考察了Four B Manufacturing诉United Garment Workers of America一案的历史和法律先例。这是1980年加拿大最高法院的一宗案件，涉及一家土著所有的制造公司，该公司抵制其土著和非土著工人在安大略省东南部的Tyendinaga莫霍克保留地组建工会的努力。雇主4b对安大略省劳资关系委员会的管辖权提出质疑，并辩称，作为一家“印度企业”，其自身的运营属于联邦管辖范围，但没有成功。我们回到4b的案例有三个相互关联的原因。首先，我们认为4b仍然具有相关性，因为移民-殖民加拿大的政治经济方式继续将土著企业、劳工和就业结构作为持续的紧张场所。其次，作为处理“印度核心”的首个案例——法院用来确定对土著劳工的联邦管辖权的一个有争议的法律概念——此案既开创了法律先例，又塑造了随后土著劳工关系的政治格局。第三，在4b中所讨论的问题将最近有关土著企业、劳工和就业的管辖权斗争置于我们所谓的"土著公共部门"——即保健、社会服务和第一民族政府管理——的背景之下。本文回顾了四B的案例历史，将其置于这一时期安大略省东南部去工业化的背景下，然后追溯了该案件如何影响土著劳工关系的司法和政治格局。最后，我们考虑土著自决与土著工人行使集体谈判权之间可能存在的紧张关系。
