Paperback. Condition: Fair. Award-winning ergonomist Karen Messing is talking with women--women who wire circuit boards, sew clothes, clean toilets, drive forklifts, care for children, serve food, run labs. What she finds is a workforce in harm's way, choked into silence, whose physical and mental health invariably comes in second place: underestimated, underrepresented, understudied, underpaid. Should workplaces treat all bodies the same? With confidence, empathy, and humour, Messing navigates the minefield that is naming sex and biology on the job, refusing to play into stereotypes or play down the lived experiences of women. Her findings leap beyond thermostat settings and adjustable chairs and into candid, deeply reported storytelling that follows in the muckraking tradition of social critic Barbara Ehrenreich. Messing's questions are vexing and her demands are bold: we need to dare to direct attention to women's bodies, champion solidarity, stamp out shame, and transform the workplace--a task that turns out to be as scientific as it is political.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Gebrochener Buchrucken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Die Belegschaft einer Phosphatfabrik in Kanada erfuhr 1978, dass das von ihnen verarbeitete Erz mit radioaktivem Staub kontaminiert war. Karen Messing, damals eine junge Professorin fur Molekulargenetik, wurde zu Hilfe gerufen. Sie entdeckte, dass die Strahlung die Arbeiter und ihre Familien schadigte. Messing kontaktierte altere Kollegen, aber niemand wollte ihr weiterhelfen. Weder das Unternehmen noch die wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaft waren an den beangstigenden Ergebnissen ihrer Chromosomenstudien interessiert. In den nachsten Jahrzehnten begegnete Messing vielen weiteren Fallen von Beschaftigten auf der ganzen Welt - Fabrikarbeitern, Reinigungskraften, Kassenpersonal, Bankkassiererinnen, Kellnerinnen, Krankenschwestern, Lehrern - die Leiden und Schmerzen hatten, ohne jegliche Hilfe von genau den Wissenschaftlern und Arbeitsmedizinerinnen zu erhalten, deren Arbeit ihnen das Leben erleichtern sollte. Messing argumentiert, dass die wissenschaftliche Praxis die Erkenntnis daruber erschwert, was die Belegschaften wirklich krank macht, und sie erzahlt die Geschichte, wie sie aufhorte Reagenzglaser zu betrachten, um lieber direkt auf die ArbeiterInnen zu horen.…
