Focusing on the routine work practices and political culture of San Francisco's longshore union, it argues that collective bargaining does not eliminate contests over shopfloor control. The collectively bargained contract is shown to be a bargain that reflects and reproduces fundamental disagreement between management and labor. It creates the parameters within which production and conflict proceed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Wellman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521450055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521450058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.33w x 1.34d","brand":"David Wellman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422167023871,"sku":"9780521450058","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93cc130d-f996-46ed-9b1f-e548ce70e6f8.jpg?v=1761527481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-union-makes-us-strong-david-wellman-9780521450058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
