Jeffrey S Rothstein

When Good Jobs Go Bad

Globalization, De-Unionization, and Declining Job Quality in the North American Auto Industry

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Looks at the impact of globalization on a major industry - the North American car industry - to reveal that globalization has had a deleterious effect on even the most valued of blue-collar jobs. Jeffrey Rothstein argues that the consolidation of the Mexican and US-Canadian car industries, the expanding number of foreign carmakers, and the spread of lean production have all undermined organised labour and harmed workers.
