Abstract

For many reasons the labour-management relationships of the educational system in Quebec are of a unique complexity and have fostered to an unusual intensity frustrations probably implicit in any modern system. The authors have outlined the recent history and the present framework of these relationships in Quebec, have explored the development of "militancy" in this context, and have analysed the present situation in the light of things to come both elsewhere and in the province of Quebec.
