It is now on-line at: http://www.justlabour.yorku.ca. >> >>Massive changes in the workplace and workforce require the timely >>analysis of the restructuring of work and all its social, economic and >>political consequences. New technologies, subcontracting, new management >>strategies and the growth of self-employment are undermining the >>traditional employee-employer relationship and increasingly disciplining >>workers. While working lives are being transformed, so are the collective >>abilities of workers to resist these changes through union action. There >>is a growing need for sophisticated information and analysis by academics >>and trade unionists. >> >>Just Labour seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and the >>research activities undertaken by trade unionists. Our goal is to provide >>a venue that 'transfers' knowledge between union and academic audiences. >>The journal publishes material by both university-based and trade union >>researchers in a format that is accessible to a broad readership.
