The Labour Movement and Civil Society: Reflections on the People’s Summit from Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper reflects on the Québec labour movement and its present role as a political actor, particularly its ability to reestablish itself as a agent of meaningful social change. It is argued that Québec labour’s involvement in the People’s Summit in April, 2001 protesting the Summit of the Americas meetings in Québec City and the movement’s general embrace of many aspects of the anti-globalization agenda mark an historical turning point. The change of direction will not only affect the relationships among different Québec unions, but relations among unions, the state, and community groups, as well as international relations between unions based in the North and South. Cet article propose une réflexion sur le syndicalisme québécois coonsidéré comme acteur politique et, plus particulièrement, sur sa capacité à redevenir un agent de changement social profond. Le contre_sommet d'avril 2001 à Québec et, plus globalement, l'appropriation syndicale du dossier de la mondialisation, apparaît comme un point tournant, si l'on se situe dans une perspective historique. Les axes de changement éventuel concernent le rapport entre syndicalisme, État et mouvement associatif, de même que les syndicats du Nord et du Sud

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
