While some might think this indicates that workers are not interested in unionizing, available polling data suggests that far more workers want unions than currently have them. The problem, as Assistant Professor Barry Eidlin argues in the <i>Washington Post</i>, is the profoundly broken and undemocratic union election system that currently exists.</p> Fri, 23 Apr 2021 18:17:45 +0000 ximena.ramirezvillanueva@mail.mcgill.ca 2266 at /sociology /sociology/channels/news/professor-barry-eidlin-comments-alabama-amazon-union-loss-globe-and-mail-330536 <p>On April 9, 2021, one of the most high-profile union elections in recent U.S. history came to a close. Workers at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama voted by more than 2-1 against joining a union, following a months-long campaign that drew international media attention. This was a major setback for U.S. unions, who see unionizing Amazon as key to reviving labor’s fortunes. In an op-ed published in the <i>Globe and Mail</i> on April 10, Prof. Barry Eidlin explained both what made the election so significant, and what the loss means for the future of labor.</p> Tue, 20 Apr 2021 01:50:58 +0000 ximena.ramirezvillanueva@mail.mcgill.ca 2264 at /sociology /sociology/channels/news/congratulations-emre-amasyali-who-won-arts-insights-dissertation-award-social-sciences-and-330372 <p>Emre Amasyali won the Arts Insights Dissertation Award for the Social Sciences and Humanities for his thesis, entitled "The fight for Eden: a mixed-methods analysis of historical educational competition and its legacies", that he completed under the supervision of Professor Matthew Lange. A well-deserved accomplishment! </p> Mon, 12 Apr 2021 22:08:12 +0000 ximena.ramirezvillanueva@mail.mcgill.ca 2260 at /sociology /sociology/channels/news/december-2020-professor-amelie-quesnel-vallees-canada-research-chair-policies-and-health-328036 <p>In 2015, the Canadian population crossed a significant threshold, as those 65 years and over now outnumber those 14 years and younger.
