Long hours, low wages, and unsafe workplaces characterized
sweatshops a hundred years ago. These same conditions plague
American trucking today.
Sweatshops on Wheels: Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation
exposes the dark side of government deregulation in America's
interstate trucking industry. In the years since deregulation in
1980, median earnings have dropped 30% and most long-haul truckers
earn less than half of pre-regulation wages. Work weeks average
more than sixty hours. Today, America's long-haul truckers are
working harder and earning less than at any time during the last
four decades.
Written by a former long-haul trucker who now teaches industrial
relations at Wayne State University, Sweatshops on Wheels raises
crucial questions about the legacy of trucking deregulation in
America and casts provocative new light on the issue of government
deregulation in general.
