The French state and the match workers : general and concrete considerations.The 1898 suppression of white phosphorous in the French match industry was a victory of organized labour. At a time when most French workers did not have the power to effect changes in the health and safety conditions of their work, the match workers succeeded. At a time when most French women were not unionised and did not pursue effective action on occupational health problems, French women in the match industry succeeded. This book, first published in 1989, examines their actions and provides the definitive account of their success.Match industry workersDiseasesFranceHistoryWomenEmploymentFranceHistoryMatch industry workersHealth and hygieneFranceHistoryMatch industry workersLabor unionsFranceHistoryIndustrial hygieneGovernment policyFranceHistoryJawsNecrosisPreventionGovernment policyFranceHistoryMatch industry workersDiseasesHistory.WomenEmploymentHistory.Match industry workersHealth and hygieneHistory.Match industry workersLabor unionsHistory.Industrial hygieneGovernment policyHistory.JawsNecrosisPreventionGovernment policyHistory.363.11/96625/0944Gordon Bonnie.1210610MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158574303321Phossy jaw and the French match workers2793912UNINA
