Title
Ethnic Factors in One Company
Abstract
A 1960s study of the impact of "ethnic factors" within the workplace. Specifically, the author was looking for information about discrimination in the workplace, its forms, its scope, and how it is perceived by employees. The author surveyed 1,100 Canadian National Railways employees and 748 employees from other companies in eight cities across Canada, including Montreal and Quebec City. The author found that Anglophone workers tended to be more educated than Francophone workers. Seventy-three percent of white-collar Francophones said they used French quite regularly in their work, and twenty-three percent said they used French from time to time. The author found that in general, the potential of mobility within their province was the same for both groups. It tended to increase with education and for Francophones to decrease with age.
