De nombreuses études font ressortir les difficultés d’intégration des immigrants qualifiés sur le marché du travail au Québec (Chicha et Charest, 2008; Boudarbat et Boulet, 2010 ; Forcier et Handal, 2012). La non-reconnaissance des qualifications acquises à l’étranger, l’insuffisante maitrise du français et la discrimination en entreprise figurent parmi les obstacles les plus souvent évoqués (Bourhis et al. , 2007 ; Chanoux, 2009). Une des difficultés mentionnées (Eid, 2012 ; Forcier et Handal, 2012) concerne leur difficulté à s’insérer dans des réseaux socioprofessionnels composés de non-immigrants. Or, comme l’ont montré d’autres auteurs (Ibarra, 1993; Granovetter, 1983; Robert, 2007; Beji et Pellerin, 2010), ces réseaux contribuent à l’intégration en emploi. En effet, les réseaux favorisent, entre autres, l’accès à l’information concernant la disponibilité de certains postes avant même qu’ils ne soient publiquement affichés (Ibarra, 1993). Une fois en emploi, l’appartenance à un réseau formé de collègues ou de supérieurs immédiats permet de profiter de leur appui et de leurs conseils. Les Brésiliens, comme les autres immigrants, ont de la difficulté à bâtir un réseau. Cette population peu étudiée à Montréal surtout en ce qui a trait aux méthodes de recherche d’emploi (formelles et informelles) qui influencent l’accès à des emplois qualifiés fera l’objet de notre recherche. Notre objectif est d’analyser et de comprendre l’accès à des emplois qualifiés pour les immigrants brésiliens à Montréal au moyen des méthodes de recherche d’emploi formelles et informelles. Pour ce faire, une analyse de type qualitatif, avec des entrevues semi-dirigées, a été effectuée auprès de Brésiliens hautement qualifiés à Montréal. Les résultats de notre recherche permettront de mieux comprendre les efforts des Brésiliens à obtenir un emploi qualifié et à constituer des réseaux socioprofessionnels et comment ceux-ci peuvent appuyer leur intégration en emploi. / Many studies highlight the challenges of integrating skilled immigrants into the labor market in Quebec (Chicha and Charest, 2008; Boudarbat and Boulet, 2010; Forcier and Handal, 2012). The lack of recognition of qualifications acquired abroad, insufficient knowledge of the French language and discrimination in the workplace, are among the most frequently cited challenges that new immigrants face upon settling in Quebec (Bourhis et al. 2007; Chanoux, 2009). One of the difficulties mentioned (Eid 2012; Forcier and Handal, 2012) is the challenge of integrating into socio-professional networks composed of non-immigrants. Nevertheless, as shown by some authors (Ibarra, 1993; Granovetter, 1983; Robert, 2007; Beji and Pellerin, 2010), those networks are key to integrating into the job market. Indeed, networks provide access to important information such as the availability of job opportunities before they are posted on job boards or career sites (Ibarra, 1993). Once employed, being part of a network of colleagues or superiors can facilitate the individual’s career goals by having the support and advice of their network. Brazilians, like other immigrants, also face challenges in building a network. Since there is very little research regarding the integration of Brazilians in Montreal, especially concerning the job search methods (formal and informal) that influence the access to skilled jobs for Brazilian immigrants in Montreal, we have decided to explore this subject and will focus our research on this population. Consequently, the aim of this research is to analyze and understand job search methods (formal and informal) that influence the access to skilled jobs for Brazilian immigrants in Montreal.As for the methodology, a qualitative analysis, with semi-structured interviews, were conducted with highly qualified professionals living and working in Montreal. The results of our research will allow further research to better understand how Brazilian immigrants succeed, or not, in obtaining a job related to their background and building social and professional networks as well as how those networks can support their employment integration.

Cette recherche dresse un portrait de la situation de la relève syndicale au Québec et des tentatives des organisations syndicales pour stimuler la participation de leurs membres de moins de 30 ans. Elle brosse d’abord un aperçu des habitudes sociales, des valeurs et des caractéristiques en emploi des jeunes. Elle nuance et recadre ensuite la problématique des jeunes en ce qui concerne l’identité collective qu’ils partagent instinctivement et les modalités de socialisation à l’interne façonnant leur participation. Cette recherche remet en question la fenêtre de recrutement estimée où les jeunes seraient en mesure d’entâmer leur participation dans les structures syndicales. Au demeurant, elle décrit l’ampleur des innovations syndicales destinées à stimuler la participation des jeunes et démystifie le mandat de l’une d’elle, les comités jeunes, qui peuvent agir à la fois comme porte-parole de leur organisation, comme la voix des jeunes membres et comme pépinière de la relève syndicale. Les données empiriques utilisées pour ce mémoire proviennent d’une vingtaine de groupes de discussion et de huit entretiens semi-dirigés (n=228), tenus dans deux organisations syndicales d’importance au Québec, disposant d’un comité jeunes et organisés par les chercheures d’un projet de recherche plus vaste sur la participation syndicale des jeunes. Nos résultats démontrent en premier lieu une identité collective construite autour de la précarité et des injustices perçues par les nouveaux travailleurs. L’âge ne serait pas significatif dans la construction de l’identité des jeunes qui semblent en phase de conquérir leur identité. En second lieu, le cadre strict de plusieurs modalités de socialisation avait un effet inhibiteur sur la participation, favorisait des relations d’échanges instrumentales et ne tenait pas compte de la sensibilité de cette nouvelle génération pour les interactions réciproques avec leurs représentants syndicaux. Nous avons aussi observé une utilisation limitée des nouvelles technologies, qui présentent des potentialités intéressantes en matière de transfert des connaissances de surcroît. Par ailleurs, nos résultats à l’égard de l’identité collective observée et de la durée du processus de socialisation soulèvent des questionnements sur la pertinence même des structures jeunes dans leurs paramètres actuels. Le parcours d’un jeune vers la militance syndicale apparaît plus tardif qu’escompté. Plus encore, la problématique jeunes met en lumière les tensions intrinsèques au mouvement syndical quant à la libre négociation sociale des intérêts défendus et du consensus interne nécessaire à leur légitimité. / This research addresses the situation of Québec’s trade unions’ youth and the trade unions’ attempts to stimulate the participation of those under 30 years old. It also helps to describe social habits, values and characteristics at work of young workers. Then it qualifies and reframes the youth issue in terms of their shared identity and the socialization mechanisms shaping their participation. This research brings into question the actual recruitment window when young members could start participating into their unions. Finally, it describes some trade unions’ strategies to stimulate youth’s participation and clarifies one of the, the youth committees, who not only have the mandate to act as the unions’ spokesperson, but also as the youth’s voice from the inside and as a school for the trade unions’ next generation of members. The chosen qualitative methodology comes from twenty focus groups and eight semi-structured interviews (n=228) held in two notorious trade unions in Québec which had youth committees and organized by the researchers of a larger research project on youth’s participation. Our results show a collective identity built around precariousness and perceived unfair treatments by the newest workers. We found that age was not a significant factor in building collective identity and young members were still battling to express their own collective identity. Besides, it shows how the rigid frame of many socialization mechanisms had inhibiting effects on participation, positionned members in an instrumental relationship with their trade union and did not take into account this generation’s sensitivity for reciprocal interactions with their union representatives. We also observed weak engagement coming from trade unions towards new technologies, which seemed a great opportunity for knowledge transfer regarding the new generations of workers. In addition, our results about the observed collective identity and the actual duration of the socialization process bring into question the relevance of youth structures within their actual parameters. The journey of a young member towards union activism seemed to take more time than estimated. Moreover, the youth issue highlights inherent tensions to the labour movement’s social negotiation of the defended interests and the consensus needed for their legitimacy.

The purpose of the collected papers dissertation was to critically examine the individual and institutional conditions that shaped battered women’s work experiences in church organizations. The studies in the collected papers shared the provision of using a methodological and analytic tool, institutional ethnography (IE), that offers a strategic and comprehensive means of investigating issues related to institutions and institutional processes that merge a macro and micro view. The first paper was a conceptual paper that emphasized the socio-political context in which adult vocation education is practiced and shared a practical means of using IE to uncover the interconnected and interdependent social processes that prohibit an individual’s ability to navigate structural and political subsystems that impact learning, teaching, and work. The second paper was an empirical paper that used IE to help us see how battered women’s needs as workers in Christian churches are evaporated behind institutional ideologies and actions that invalidate her concerns while preserving their ideals. The study revealed four ways that African American battered women entered into an institutional death process by direct disclosure or assumed disclosure: (a) invalidation, (b) overspiritualization, (c) inauthenticity, (d) and bifurcation. It was found, that once disclosure took place, women placed a different expectation upon the church to respond to their issue of domestic abuse. In summation, Study #2 highlighted the use of IE in uncovering the institutional relations that shaped women’s experiences as work in Christian churches. Overall, the findings elucidate ways that social workers, churches, adult educators, and HRD researchers and practitioners can engage in research that has implications for how to collaborate for implementable solutions. The findings provide ways for African American women to navigate oppressive regimes; and lends insight to how adult educators, HRD practitioners, and pastors who work with battered women can assist and intervene in the educational, emotional, and natural support areas for African American battered women working in Christian churches.

The subject of my thesis is to analyze the impact of gender-homogeneous teams, both female and male, on the formation of labor relations and working environment in general. In the theoretical section, I focus on three main themes: Men and women in society, Influence of gender on the organization and Gender and the labor market. The research is based on the results of my two surveys, one was conducted in predominantly female work team and the second in a predominantly male work team. In my thesis, I discovered that the reality versus theory differ in some areas, especially in a positive sense. Slowly disappears trend when women returning from maternity leave have been disadvantaged by this fact. My thesis also refuted the assumption that men are more preferred as a superiors, than women. Women in managerial positions are able stand up and play as good as men. My thesis also did not confirmed that women are in fulfilling of work assignments less independent. Employees representing the minority in homogeneous work team in terms of gender, are not exposed to negative influences, as described in the theoretical part of my thesis.

A recente intensificação da mecanização do corte da cana, ao mesmo tempo em que reduz postos de trabalho, representa piora no processo de trabalho do corte manual. Em entrevistas realizadas junto a trabalhadores da agroindústria canavieira residentes no município de Barrinha - SP, situado na região de Ribeirão Preto, procuramos reconstituir suas histórias de vida e representações acerca desse processo. Buscou-se também mapear as mobilidades espaciais e ocupacionais desses trabalhadores, tendo em vista apontar as tendências desses deslocamentos e seus significados / Abstract: This research aims to analyze the implications of the mechanization of sugarcane harvest for workers in the São Paulo sugarcane fields, especially regarding the process and labor relations. The recent intensification of the mechanization process of the sugar cane harvest, while reducing jobs, is worsening the working process of manual harvest. In interviews with the workers of sugarcane agribusiness residents in the city of Barrinha-SP, in the region of RibeirãoPreto, we tried to reconstruct their life stories and representations of this process. We attempted to also map the spatial and occupational mobility of these workers, in order to point out the trends of these dislocations and their meanings. / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestra em Sociologia

The title chosen was a result of the author s concerns, as to the modifications in which the labor relation is now passing by. The method used in this assignment, with the help of books, journals and research, was the deductive. At first, the author makes an analysis about the fundamental principles. Then, was analyzed some of actual and atypical forms of workers' hiring, due to flexible politics, with special focus on outsourcing. In the course of the study, the author will do a connection between these subjects, in an attempt of demonstrating what the outsourcing, founded in its normative instrument (Docket 331 of the Superior Court of the Work), reaches, in a negative way, principles of labor rights, making doubts with the entire protection base that stands for it. As can be seen, after many investigations, it concludes that the outsourcing, legally approved by the state, through the highest work court of the country, is against constitutional principles for the workers, as the jus fundamental rights / O trabalho que segue tem como tema "Terceirização: violação ou concretização dos direitos fundamentais?". O título escolhido foi fruto de inquietações próprias do autor, no que concerne às modificações pelas quais vem passando a relação de trabalho. O método utilizado neste trabalho, com o auxílio de livros, periódicos e pesquisas, foi o dedutivo. A princípio, o autor faz uma análise acerca princípios fundamentais aplicáveis ao Direito do Trabalho. Posteriormente, foram analisadas algumas das formas atuais e atípicas de contratação de trabalhadores, frutos reformas flexibilizadoras do direito do trabalho, com foco especial sobre a terceirização na atividade-meio e atividade-fim. No decorrer do estudo, o autor faz um liame entre esses assuntos, numa tentativa de demonstrar que a terceirização, fundada no seu instrumento normativo (Súmula 331 do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho), atinge, de forma negativa princípios do direito do trabalho, abalando com toda a estrutura de proteção que sobre ele recai. Como poderá ser analisado, após muitas investigações, constata-se que a terceirização, legitimamente reconhecida pelo Estado, através da mais alta corte trabalhista do país, contraria princípios constitucionais de aplicabilidade para os trabalhadores, bem como direitos fundamentais

Il titolo scelto è stato il risultato delle preoccupazioni dell'autore, per quanto riguarda le modifiche avvenute nel rapporto di lavoro. Il metodo utilizzato in questo lavoro, con l'aiuto di libri, riviste e ricerche, è stato quello deduttivo. In un primo momento, l'autore fa un'analisi dei diritti e principi fondamentali del lavoratore. Successivamente, sono stati analizzati alcuni dei modi attuali e atipici di assunzione di lavoratori, frutti di politiche più flessibilizzanti, con particolare attenzione sulla terziarizzazione e la sumula 331 del Tribunale Superiore del Lavoro. Durante lo studio, l'autore farà un collegamento tra questi temi in un tentativo di dimostrare che la terziarizzazione, fondata in base al suo strumento legislativo (sumula 331 della Tribunale Superiore del Lavoro), raggiunge negativamente i diritti e i principi del lavoratore, scuotendo l'intera struttura di protezione che cade su di esso. Come potrà essere analizzato, dopo molte indagini, notasi che la terziarizzazione, legittimamente riconosciuta dallo Stato, attraverso la corte del lavoro più alta del paese, è in contrasto con principi costituzionali di applicabilità ai lavoratori, così come ai suoi fondamentali diritti legali. / O trabalho que segue tem como tema “a súmula 331 do TST como instrumento de precarização laboral”.

Cette recherche fait état de la crise du syndicalisme qui affecte la capacité d’action et l’efficacité des pratiques des organisations syndicales à travers le monde. Elle dresse un portrait complet des éléments de crise qu’elle décline sous les niveaux économique, politique et social. Cette recherche expose ainsi la nécessité d’un renouveau syndical pour porter précisément sur les coalitions, hétérogènes notamment, comme stratégie de renouveau syndical. Au plan analytique, elle évalue l’impact de l’identité et de la capacité organisationnelle d’une organisation syndicale aux Philippines sur son choix de se coaliser, mais aussi l’influence de ses objectifs et du contexte national dans lequel elle évolue. Les données empiriques pour mener cette étude proviennent principalement de près de 24 entrevues semi-dirigées, tenues auprès de représentants de l’une des plus grandes organisations syndicales des Philippines, de représentants d’organisations non syndicales alliées et de répondants externes à celle-ci. Premièrement, nos résultats montrent qu’une identité collective sociétale forte influence favorablement le choix de l’organisation syndicale étudiée de se coaliser. Elle confirme également le rôle essentiel de l’identité dans l’orientation de son action collective. Deuxièmement, nos résultats permettent de conclure qu’une capacité organisationnelle forte influence favorablement le choix de cette organisation syndicale de se coaliser, considérant qu’elle permet à celle-ci d’identifier les opportunités d’action, de mettre en œuvre de nouvelles stratégies et d’assurer la légitimité et la mobilisation des membres quant aux actions entreprises. De nos résultats ressort l’importance de l’éducation sur l’accroissement de la capacité organisationnelle et, particulièrement, sur la formation et le renforcement de l’identité collective de l’organisation syndicale étudiée. Plus encore, nos résultats exposent l’interaction entre les dimensions de l’identité et de la capacité organisationnelle : précisément, nous avons observé une relation de renforcement positif entre ces deux variables. Troisièmement, nos résultats mettent de l’avant l’interaction entre les différents niveaux de transformations résultantes de sa participation à différents types de coalitions. Ainsi dans le cas observé, l’obtention de transformation au plan intraorganisationnel permet à rebours d’obtenir des transformations au plan extraorganisationnel et vice-versa. Finalement, le contexte répressif des Philippines et les objectifs de l’organisation syndicale étudiée apparaissent favorables à son choix de se coaliser à différents niveaux (local, régional, national et international). / This research aims to survey the crisis, which affects the effectiveness and action-readiness of labor unions around the world. It portrays crisis elements happening at the economic, political and social levels, thus exposing the necessity of implementing union renewal. The research puts the focus on how coalitions might be one of the many key elements to this revitalization. It evaluates the influence of identity and organizational capacity on choosing whether to coalesce, while taking into account the specific union objectives and the national context in which it operates. The research has been conducted in a trade union organization based in the Philippines. The empirical data used in the research comes from 24 semi-structured interviews with representatives from one of the largest labor union in the country, representatives from non-union allies to this organization, and other actors not directly involved with the trade union organization under study. First, the results show that a strong societal, collective identity influences the choice of this union organization to join coalitions. Collective identity is also a fundamental element to better understand the orientation of the collective action displayed by this organization. Second, our results also suggest that a strong and visionary organizational capacity influences positively the choice of joining a coalition, since the union is reputed by then to be better-equipped to identify opportunities to act differently, to elaborate strategies of union renewal, and to ensure that these actions are properly understood and legitimized by the rank-and-file members. Our case study also demonstrates the importance of education for increasing organizational capacity, especially when it comes to collective identity formation and empowerment. Furthermore, our findings confirm the interaction between identity and organizational capacity: specifically, we observe a positive, mutually reinforcing relationship between the two variables. Third, our results reveal the interaction between the different levels of transformations resulting from the participation in coalitions. In fact, our case study shows that intraorganizational transformation leads to extraorganizational transformation and vice-versa. Lastly, our study shows that the combined effect of the repressive context of the Philippines and the specific objectives of the interviewed labor union seem to support its decision to coalesce at different (local, regional, national and international) levels.
