Every day millions of Canadians go out to work. They labour in factories, offices, restaurants, and retail stores, on ships, and deep in mines. And every day millions of other Canadians, mostly women, begin work in their homes, performing the many tasks that ensure the well-being of their families and ultimately, the reproduction of the paid labour force. Yet, for all its undoubted importance, there has been remarkably little systematic research into the past and present dynamics of the world of work in Canada.

Today, in the final decade of the twentieth century, the condition of labor in the United States is in a more precarious position than at any time during this century. During the past several decades, workers have experienced major transformations in the labor force structure and the labor process at the point of production, through corporate restructuring and reorganization, while real wages have declined. At the same time, an enormous increase in corporate profits, takeovers, mergers, and acquisitions during the decade of the 1980s has widened the gap between labor and capital. All these factors have increased the control and exploitation of labor at the point of production, which is the hallmark of the labor process under capitalism. Focusing on work relations in the auto, steel, and computer industries, agriculture, and other sectors of the U.S. economy, The Labor Process and Control of Labor provides case studies of the labor process in the United States in the late twentieth century. The authors of the ten chapters that comprise this book address some of the key issues confronting workers today: plant closings, decline in union membership, drop in living standards, automation and deskilling, level of class consciousness and political organization, and the role of unions and other mediating forces in the formation and transformation of labor and the labor process. One chapter is devoted to the U.S. auto industry and how its pioneering minute division of labor affected the power of the labor force; another focuses on how the steel industry further facilitated labor control. Other chapters deal with the computer industry, women's labor power, immigrant labor in California agriculture and various other labor issues related to the control and exploitation of labor. This volume is an important new work for scholars of labor studies, sociology of work and occupations, industrial sociology, and related fields.

Since the 1930s, industrial sociologists have tried to answer the question, Why do workers not work harder? Michael Burawoy spent ten months as a machine operator in a Chicago factory trying to answer different but equally important questions: Why do workers work as hard as they do? Why do workers routinely consent to their own exploitation? Manufacturing Consent, the result of Burawoy's research, combines rich ethnographical description with an original Marxist theory of the capitalist labor process. Manufacturing Consent is unique among studies of this kind because Burawoy has been able to analyze his own experiences in relation to those of Donald Roy, who studied the same factory thirty years earlier. Burawoy traces the technical, political, and ideological changes in factory life to the transformations of the market relations of the plant (it is now part of a multinational corporation) and to broader movements, since World War II, in industrial relations.

In seeking to provoke debate, the book reveals the variety of experiences evident in countries and regions marked by capitalist and (post) socialist regulatory frameworks, and contrasting labour regimes, histories and cultures. The contributions show the importance of critically examining both the complex nature of global-local links and the particular ways economic processes are refracted through culture and locality in southeast Asia. Clustered around the themes of labour regimes, labour processes, labour mobility and labour communities, the essays show how economic development is not only shaped by market forces but is also interlocked in systems of meaning."--Jacket

Brass, who has taught social and political science at Cambridge, argues that the incidence of bonded labor is on the rise and that it is beneficial neither economically nor culturally to the unfree worker. The book begins with detailed examinations of Brass' fieldwork data collected in Peru and India from 1974 to 1990. Brass then examines and attempts to disprove other debates over bonded labor, from the neo-classical economics which suggest that bondage is an economically empowering form of guaranteed work, to arguments stating that although not economically empowering, this type of relationship can empower the unfree laborer to claim cultural assertiveness or even to initiate resistance movements, thus ultimately leading to free labor.

Global Japaniziation? Brings together research from North America, Japan, Europe and Latin America to analyse the influence of Japanese manufacturing investment and Japanese working practices across the global economy. The editors present original case studies of work reorganization and workers’ experiences within both Japanese companies and those of their competitors in diverse sectors and national settings. These studies provide a wide-ranging critique of conventional accounts of Japanese models of management and production, and their implications for employees. They offer new evidence and fresh perspectives on the role of "transplants" in disseminating manufacturing innovations, and on the responses of non-Japanese firm in reorganizing production operations and industrial relations.
