For much of the twentieth century, large companies employing many
workers formed the bedrock of the U.S. economy. Today, as David
Weil's groundbreaking analysis shows, large corporations have shed
their role as direct employers of the people responsible for their
products, in favor of outsourcing work to small companies that
compete fiercely with one another. The result has been declining
wages, eroding benefits, inadequate health and safety conditions,
and ever-widening income inequality. "Authoritative...[The Fissured
Workplace] shed[s] important new light on the resurgence of the
power of finance and its connection to the debasement of work and
income distribution." -Robert Kuttner, New York Review of Books
"The kinds of workplace fissuring discussed here-subcontracting,
franchising and global supply chains--have been the subjects of a
number of studies detailing the employment effects that Weil
describes. The Fissured Workplace is unusual in bringing this
research together into an integrated, detailed and decidedly
policy-oriented analysis...It makes a convincing case that the
better regulation of fissured workplaces is a first step towards
reversing the erosion of pay and conditions at the bottom of the
labor market." -Virginia Doellgast, Times Higher Education
