Work and Labour in Canada: Critical Issues Tapa blanda - 2005

Información de la editorial

This original and timely book focuses on critical issues surrounding work and labour in Canada. It is an ideal text for sociology of work courses, which often integrate labour, industry, and the global economy from a Canadian perspective. This book will also be relevant to a wide range of courses in Labour Studies and Industrial Relations programs across Canada. Outside of the academy, policy makers and labour activists will be keenly interested in this new book. The thesis is change. Work and Labour in Canada examines changes in the labour market, and in workplaces, with a strong empirical component based upon recent Statistics Canada data. The chapters are tailored to an undergraduate audience. They are masterfully written from a labour perspective ? that is, concerned with the impacts of changes on workers ? but also written on the basis of empirical evidence with supporting summaries of the academic research literature.
