ON THE JOB: CONFRONTING THE LABOUR PROCESS IN CANADA. Edited by Craig Heron and Robert Storey, Kingston, McGill -Queen's University Press, cl 986.360pp, paper, ISBN 0-7735-0598-9 (cloth) $37.50, 0-7735-0599-7 (paper) $16.95. CIP Post-Secondary Reviewed by Thomas F. Chambers Volume 14 Number 3 1986 May This book is hard to categorize according to subject matter. It is relevant to history, economics, and sociology. Any social scientist will find it thought provoking since it contains interesting essays on working people from the 1850s to the part-time Burger King employee of the 1980s. There are twelve essays included in the book. They cover a broad range of topics. A sampling of these are: Cape Breton coal miners in the 1920s, housewives, and autoworkers on a Ford Motor Company assembly line. All are supported by long lists of references. The essays are also disturbing. They show, quite conclusively, that workers are pawns in the production process. They are used and abused, and have been so for close to 150 years. On the Job is an excellent book for students studying the labour movement. It is written at an advanced level and is suitable for second or third year university. The detail of the essays, while useful to those specializing in this field, will be a barrier to the more general reader. Labour leaders will also enjoy On the Job. It supports what they have been saying for years and should prove useful in their battles with management over the micro-chip revolution. Thomas F. Chambers, Canadore C.C., North Bay, Ont.
