The Daily Grind: How Workers Navigate the Employment Relationship
introduces students to the tensions between labor and management
within the U.S. employment relationship and explores how workers,
operating in a socially and culturally structured system of
capitalism, are influenced and manipulated by economic institutions
and polity which exploit, devalue, and dehumanize workers in the
name of corporate profit. The text covers how the American work
ethic of the early nineteenth century helped shape the current
perspective on the labor-management relationship, and how, over
time, the Protestant and patriarchal influences of that period have
countered the collective actions of workers in profound ways. The
text further explores the effect of societal, cultural, and
economic structures, both global and local, which limit workers'
ability to achieve the "American Dream" and result in depressed
economic conditions and discouraged workers. The text's focus on
the current economic inequality and lack of social mobility
challenges the current neoliberal ideology that capitalism is the
best economic system. The overarching framework for The Daily
Grind: How Workers Navigate the Employment Relationship is situated
in Labor Process Theory (LPT) which explores the control and
resistance dichotomy between labor and management, the systematic
deskilling of the workforce in order to increase production and
increase owners' profits, and examines conflict over control of the
labor process. An extension of Marxist theory about the
organization of work, LPT explores the employment relationship, the
control of work, the payment of work, the skills necessary for
work, and the facilitation of work.
