The essays in this volume enhance our understanding of Canadians on
the job. Focusing on specific industries and kinds of work, from
logging and longshoring to restaurant work and the needle trades,
the contributors consider such issues as job skill, mass
production, and the transformation of resource industries. They
raise questions about how particular jobs are structured and
changed over time, the role of workers' resistance and trade unions
in shaping the lives of workers, and the impact of technology.
Together these essays clarify a fundamental characteristic shared
by all labour processes: they are shaped and conditioned by the
social, economic, and political struggles of labour and capital
both inside and outside the workplace. They argue that
technological change, as well as all the transformations in the
workplace, must become a social process that we all control.
