Work On The Waterfront (Labor And Social Change),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this ethnographic account of longshoremen in California, William Finlay examines how they have been affected by recent technological changes in this industry. Focusing on the workers in Local 13 (Los AngelesLong Beach) of the ILWU, he finds that despite the profound impact of new technologies, in particular of containerization, these workers have retained much of their influence over production, their autonomy at work, and their skill on the job.Using data collected from interviews and participant observation, Finlay provides a firsthand view of a union, the International Longshoremens and Warehousemens Union, about which there has been considerable speculation and discussion but which has been quite difficult for outsiders to penetrate. During his research, Finlay worked as a longshoreman, accompanied crane operators loading and unloading ships, observed union business agents on their waterfront rounds, and attended negotiation meetings.Contrary to many contemporary arguments concerning the negative impact of technological innovation at the workplace, Finlay finds that in longshoring the new technologies have resulted in the increased demand for skilled workers and in fresh opportunities for workers to assert their control of production. Work on the Waterfront examines local unionism in action and discusses the factors that produce onthejob bargaining in longshoring and other lines of work.
