The Laboring of Communication examines the transformation of work
and of worker organizations in today's Information Society. The
book focuses on how traditional trade unions and new worker
associations growing out of social movements are coming together to
address the crisis of organized labor. It concentrates on the
creative responses of the technical and cultural workers in the
mass media, telecommunications, and information technology
industries. Concentrating on political economy, labor process, and
feminist theory, it proceeds to offer several ways of thinking
about communication workers and the nature of the society in which
they work. Drawing on interviews and the documentary record, the
book offers case studies of successful and unsuccessful efforts
among both traditional and alternative worker organizations in the
United States and Canada. It concludes by addressing the thorny
issue of outsourcing, describing how global labor federations and
nascent worker organizations in the developing world are coming
together to develop creative solutions.
