Abstract
Western Canada’s oil-exporting economies have come to rely on migrant labour as a cornerstone of economic development. A global division of labour intersecting with the constellation of Canada’s migrant worker programs has shaped the contemporary political-economic character of many Canadian provinces, including Saskatchewan. These programs have worked to construct bifurcated labour markets for growing low-wage industries that exist alongside high-wage resource-sector employment. Although a majority of these migrant workers end up employed in non-unionized workplaces, foreign workers who secure occupations in health care, construction, warehousing, and manufacturing are often represented by a union. The study explores union attitudes and union-member engagement among migrant labour through the lens of union revitalization, in an attempt to confront claims that migrant workers are without an affinity to organized labour and avoid participating in union business and the collective-bargaining process.
 
 Les économies exportatrices de pétrole de l’Ouest du Canada comptent sur la main-d’œuvre migrante comme pierre angulaire du développement économique. Une division mondiale du travail qui recoupe la constellation des programmes de travailleurs migrants du Canada a façonné le caractère politico-économique contemporain de nombreuses provinces canadiennes, dont la Saskatchewan. Ces programmes ont permis de créer des marchés du travail bifurqués pour les industries à bas salaires en croissance qui coexistent avec les emplois à hauts salaires dans le secteur des ressources. Bien que la majorité de ces travailleurs migrants finissent par travailler dans des lieux de travail non syndiqués, les travailleurs étrangers qui occupent des postes dans les soins de santé, la construction, l’entreposage et la fabrication sont souvent représentés par un syndicat. L’étude explore les attitudes des syndicats et l’engagement des membres des syndicats parmi les travailleurs migrants à travers la lentille de la revitalisation syndicale, dans une tentative de confronter les affirmations selon lesquelles les travailleurs migrants n’ont aucune affinité avec le syndicalisme et évitent de participer aux affaires syndicales et au processus de négociation collective.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
