The affluent workers studied in this book, originally published in
1968, were employees of three major industrial concerns sited in
Luton at the time. The three firms were selected as being amongst
Luton's best-paying employers and also on account of their advanced
personnel and labour relations policies. This choice enabled
comparisons to be made between workers engaged in very different
types of production system. On the basis of material from
interviews and other data, the authors examine in detail workers'
experience of their industrial jobs, their relations with
workmates, and the nature of their attachment both to the
organizations which employ them and to their trade unions. This
study forms part of a larger project which was aimed at testing
empirically the thesis, which was most prevalent 1968, that of the
progressive assimilation of manual workers and their families into
the pattern of middle class social life.
