Labour/Le Travail

Aims & Scope

Labour/Le Travail is the official, semi-annual publication of the Canadian Committee on Labour History.

Since it began publishing in 1976, it has carried many important articles in the field of working-class history, industrial sociology, labour economics, and labour relations.

Although primarily interested in a historical perspective on Canadian workers, the journal is interdisciplinary in scope.

In addition to articles, the journal features documents, conference reports, an annual bibliography of materials in Canadian labour studies, review essays, and reviews.

While the main focus of the journal's articles is Canadian, the review essays and reviews consider international work of interest to Canadian labour studies.

Many of Labour's articles are illustrated and each issue is book length, averaging 350 pages an issue.
