Work and Labour in Canada, 3rd Edition, by Andrew Jackson and Mark P. Thomas (Canadian Scholars)
Now in its third edition, Work and Labour in Canada explores critical issues Canadian labourers face on a daily basis, concerning the development of modern capitalist structures, low wages and the increase in unpaid and alienated employment, gendered and racialized divisions of labour, and accessibility in the work environment. Andrew Jackson and Mark P. Thomas draw upon updated statistics, figures, and case studies to identify the economic, social, and political processes that influence contemporary workplace environments and trends, and offer equitable and democratic alternatives to the current organizational structure of the Canadian workforce. This new edition also includes discussions on contemporary workers’ movements and temporary foreign labourer programs. A resource for labour activists and researchers, this text is suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses in sociology of work and labour studies.
