Focusing on work relations in the auto, steel, computer industries, agriculture, and other sectors of the U.S. economy, this book provides case studies of the labor process in the late 20th century. The authors address some of the key issues that confront workers today: plant closings, decline in union membership, drop in living standards, automation and deskilling, level of class consciousness and political organization, and the roles of the family, unions, and other mediating forces in the formation and transformation of labor and the labor process.
