Description:

Working in a Global Era is a unique reader that examines the world of work from a critical, Canadian perspective. Thoroughly updated and revamped to reflect current issues and debates, this second edition brings together 14 cutting-edge readings.

The book is divided into seven sections that cover a wide range of topics: globalization and neo-liberalism; the reorganization of the manufacturing and service sectors; precariousness and flexibilization; racialization and migration; labour market restructuring; informal care work; and union renewal. Each section contains two chapters, giving students a diversity of voices on each issue.

This is an ideal text for courses in the sociology of work and labour and will also be of interest to instructors and students in labour studies and industrial relations programs.
