520 1 $a"This progressive new reader examines work in a global era. It is an ideal text for sociology of work and labour courses across Canada. This book will also be relevant to a wide range of courses in labour studies and industrial relations programs in Canada." "Divided into eight key parts with a total of 16 essential readings, this volume covers a great deal of ground: Fordist and post-Fordist methods of work organization; labour markets in transition; working in the free-trade zones; migration, transnationalism, and domestic work; neo-liberalism and the dismantling of the welfare state; education, training, and skills in a knowledge-based economy; and the labour movement in transition. All major issues surrounding work in Canada are covered. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
