The International Motor Vehicle Program's Lean Production Benchmark: A Critique
At the time of the first Binghamton conference in 1978 the Big Three automakers were operating with master agreements and pattern bargaining, and there were no Asian auto assembly transplant in North America. Shortly thereafter, increased imports, plant overcapacity, and recession set the stage for a major overhaul of labor-management relations, production processes, and work practices.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website,…

Significant contemporary socio-political issues, such as the division of labour for both women and men in the paid workplace and household spheres are examined afresh.

Improving the quality of working life through job redesign: Work humanization or work rationalization
Deux des principaux types de programmes relatifs à la ‘qualité de la vie au travail’ sont la participation à la gestion et la redefinition de la tache. On interprète habituellement ces programmes comme étant des réponses de la direction à l'agitation des travailleurs, qui visent à augmenter la motivation de la main d'oeuvre. Cet article s'attache aux programmes de redéfinition de la tache, et soutient que ces programmes (a) ne sont pas principale…
Appropriating Workers’ Knowledge: Quality Control Circles at a General Motors Plant
Competitive forces and workers' resistance compel employers to cheapen and intensify labour and subordinate it to management control. Historically, these goals were achieved by mechanization, by management's appropriation of workers' production knowledge, and by simplifying, standardizing, and specializing the labour process. The principal target of techniques of labour degradation was skilled workers, whose monopoly of knowledge enabled them not…

A Study of Class Consciousness
A partir d'un échantillon aléatoire de la population de London, Ontario, nous examinons l'étendue de la conscience de classe et la relation de cet état d'esprit avec les variables religion, ethnicité et classe sociale. Le degré de conscience de classe ouvrière observe est plus prononcé qu'on le dit habituellement dans le cas du Canada. Des analyses à deux et à plusieurs variables révèlent que la classe sociale a un effet plus prononcé sur la cons…
Socialization, Alienation, and Student Activism
Studies of student activists, especially those of Flacks (1967) and Keniston (1968), have demonstrated the importance of familial socialization experiences in the biographies of these young persons.Parents of protesters are typically upper- middle-class professionals of liberal political persuasions, decision-making in the family is democratic, and children are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility to others as well as a capacity to be …

Affluence and the Embourgeoisement of the Working Class: A Critical Look
This paper evaluates the thesis that manual workers in advanced capitalist societies increasingly are adopting middle-class modes of thought and behavior, and that blue-collar prosperity is responsible for this process. A review of the literature reveals substantial differences in earnings, market situations, life styles, working conditions, and politics of manual and non-manual workers. Furthermore, advocates of the embourgeoisement thesis usual…

The Study of Role Conflict: Explorations in Methodology
It is the purpose of this paper to report the results of two empirical studies of role conflict conducted by the authors and to compare the procedures and results of these studies with that conducted by Gross, Mason, and McEachern (2) and, where possible, those conducted by Shull and Miller (4). Primary focus will be placed upon the prediction of the resolution of role conflict and the diversity of the operations employed in making such predictio…
