Reviews

It s not just McDonald s and Wal-Mart. Rothstein brilliantly illuminates how even auto assembly jobs still among thebestblue collar jobs have been steadily degraded by global corporations. An essential contribution to understanding work in the global economy. --Chris Tilly Director, Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, UCLA


It's not just McDonald's and Walmart. Rothstein brilliantly illuminates how even auto assembly jobs--still among the best blue collar jobs--have been steadily degraded by global corporations. An essential contribution to understanding work in the global economy. --Chris Tilly director, Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, UCLA


Rothstein's book provides us with much of what we need to understand why wages and the quality of work life in the US and Mexican auto industries has deteriorated since the late 1970s.
