The Miners' Strike - 40 Years On

The rise and fall of Britain's most important industry

This is a 1972 study of the ways in which workers within a range of genders and ages relate and adapt to their work situation. It is set in a single factory so that the aspects of the situation relating to the employer, are all the same for all workers.

This book looks at how large organizations have managed and adapted to changing conditions of employment shaped by the recent economic and political environment. The book also engages with important North American debates on the changing nature of work, careers, and employment.

Written by a group of the UK's leading sociologists, this text covers all the themes central to an understanding of contemporary British society. The essays provide a historical overview of such topics as class, gender, work, ethnicity and community.
