Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Workers and environmentalists, socialists and greens, trade unions and ecologists: according to a predominant strain in contemporary social and political thought and practice, each of these paired categories is irremediably distinct from and largely opposed to its counterpart.Pointing to prominent instances of worker-environmentalist conflict in Canada, the two groups' agendas are often portrayed as incompatible and occasionally openly hostile toward one another.Indeed, the "jobs vs. the environment" theme is by now a hardy perennial of Canadian politics. 1Much of the existing historiography mirrors these divisions by separating environmental history from discussions of class and labour.This paper aims to penetrate divisions in the discourse and historiography to argue instead for the existence of a distinctly working-class environmental consciousness in Canada between 1965 and 1985.Drawing on contemporary newspapers, union minutes and reports, the back files of the Canadian Occupational Health and Safety News, and the strike and lockouts files of the Department of Labour, I submit an interpretation of a distinctly workergenerated environmentalism born largely out of a class analysis of health and disease under capitalism. 2 1.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
