摘要:Peter R. Sinclair, Martha MacDonald, and Barbara Neis examine the interaction of external pressures on the local scale in the forestry industry. Documenting the experience of one unionized logger, Andy Gibson, they consider how systemic pressures affect the lives of individuals and how these individuals respond and reshape their changing circumstances. While the introduction of new technology and changes in the labour process have affected worker's lives and prospects, government regulations are also important in determining working conditions.
