Following the industrial crisis of the 1920s and the Great Depression in the 1930s, consecutive provincial governments in Nova Scotia turned their efforts toward state-led economic development. After the election of Robert Stanfield and the Tories in 1956, a wholesale industrial planning model was unveiled. Indeed, Stanfieldian economic policy in Nova Scotia was predicated upon the belief that direct state-led interventionism was necessary to offset regional inequity. State corporate entities, such as Industrial Estates Limited, and renewed interest in a state-driven industrial relations paradigm were central in the province’s efforts to revitalize its flagging economy and offset predicted decline in the Cape Breton coal and steel industries. This article examines the fate of the Clairtone Sound Corporation, one of Nova Scotia’s “new industries” that emerged out of these state-led development efforts. A case study of this Stellarton-based firm reveals how structural processes of deindustrialization produced crisis even within sectors that were completely distinct from the province’s cornerstone industries of coal and steel. This case includes a reflection on the class composition of the modernist state in Nova Scotia and represents a convergence of the historiographical focus on state-led industrial development in the Maritimes and recent literature found within deindustrialization studies.

On 15 August 1983, 9,500 workers from the Montréal locals of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union went on strike for the first time in 43 years. The strike became known as “la grève de la fierté” and made clear that the women working in the city’s garment factories were taking a stand against the layoffs and closures prompted by industrial restructuring and deindustrialization. However, the strike’s success was limited, revealing the extent to which the structural inequities in the garment industry had calcified along gendered, classed, and ethnic lines. The union executive had grown increasingly distant from its rank-and-file, and it was immigrant women workers who were left to organize against the flurry of closures and the corresponding decline in their working conditions. The campaign leading up to the 1983 strike, organized by the Comité d’action des travailleurs du vêtement, articulated a series of demands for the improvement of workplace health and safety conditions, better benefits, and more representative union leadership. With original archival research and oral history interviews, I argue that the 1983 “grève de la fierté” illustrates how the historically entrenched gendered structure of labour relations shaped the pathways of deindustrialization in Montréal’s garment industry.
1983年8月15日,国际妇女服装工人工会蒙特里萨当地的9,500名工人举行了43年来的第一次罢工。这次罢工被称为“la gr de la fiert”,罢工表明,在巴黎服装厂工作的女性是在反对产业重组和去工业化导致的裁员和关闭工厂。然而,罢工的成功是有限的,这揭示了服装行业的结构性不平等在多大程度上沿着性别、阶级和种族的界限僵化了。工会高管与普通员工之间的距离越来越远,移民女工被迫组织起来,反对接连不断的关闭工厂,以及相应的工作条件恶化。1983年罢工前的运动是由vêtement工人行动委员会组织的,它明确提出了一系列要求,要求改善工作场所的卫生和安全条件,改善福利,以及更有代表性的工会领导。通过原始档案研究和口述历史访谈,我认为1983年的“gr de la fiert”说明了历史上根深蒂固的劳动关系性别结构如何塑造了montracimal服装工业的去工业化道路。
