This paper attempts to develop the argument that non-work issues influence social control in the workplace. Evidence is presented from a study of social relations in a Northern Ireland telecommunications plant. It is suggested that the locality in which a factory is situated has an important influence on internal plant relations. It is argued that in the context of Northern Ireland the replication of locality social relations in the workplace had the effect of weakening collective resistance in the plant. Large scale job losses and the introduction of new work practices, a consequence of technological change in the telecommunications industry, exposed these important weaknesses in the structure of workplace organisation
