Work-life balance of shift workers
Abstract: More than a quarter of employed Canadians work something other than a regular daytime schedule—regular evenings or nights, rotating or split shifts, casual or on-call jobs or irregular shifts. This article focuses on shift work among full-time workers aged 19 to 64 and looks at where and among whom it is most prevalent. Work-life balance, role overload and other indicators of well-being are also examined.
Unionization
Abstract: With union membership growing less rapidly than employment, the unionization rate declined slightly between the first half of 2007 and 2008. The decline was seen in both the public and private sectors.
