Living Labour: Life on the Line at Peugeot France

by Jean-Pierre Durand, Nicolas Hatzfeld, Nicolas Hatzfeld

Book Overview

This book is an important and original account of life in the new lean production workplace - the car industry where it all began. It brings together the two emblematic features of the twentieth century: a working class meant to topple the social order, and a product that largely provided the developmental model of that same order. This book is neither a retrospective assessment nor a prediction for the future: it reveals what has changed and what has remained the same, in a workplace that remains a major part of the makeup of our society.
