Organized Labor and the Problem of "Smokers' Rights" --Conclusion: Quitting Smoking and the Endurance of Nicotine --Notes --IndexIn Clearing the Air, Gregory Wood examines smoking's importance to the social and cultural history of working people in the twentieth-century United States. Now that most workplaces in the United States are smoke-free, it may be difficult to imagine the influence that nicotine addiction once had on the politics of worker resistance, workplace management, occupational health, vice, moral reform, grassroots activism, and the labor movement. The experiences, social relations, demands, and disputes that accompanied smoking in the workplace in turn shaped the histories of antismoking politics and tobacco control.The steady expansion of cigarette smoking among men, women, and children during the first half of the twentieth century brought working people into sustained conflict with managers' demands for diligent attention to labor processes and work rules. Addiction to nicotine led smokers to resist and challenge policies that coldly stood between them and the cigarettes they craved. Wood argues that workers' varying abilities to smoke on the job stemmed from the success or failure of sustained opposition to employer policies that restricted or banned smoking. During World War II, workers in defense industries, for example, struck against workplace smoking bans. By the 1970s, opponents of smoking in workplaces began to organize, and changing medical knowledge and dwindling union power contributed further to the downfall of workplace smoking. The demise of the ability to smoke on the job over the past four decades serves as an important indicator of how the power of workers' influence in labor-management relations has dwindled over the same period.Smoking in the workplaceUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAntismoking movementUnited StatesHistory20th centurySmokingSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centurySmoking in the workplaceHistoryAntismoking movementHistorySmokingSocial aspectsHistory331.256Wood Gregory1973-1497466MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798636003321Clearing the air3722597UNINA03004nam 2200469 450 991081514230332120210208182044.01-77558-508-51-86940-755-5(CKB)2670000000492008(EBL)1531128(OCoLC)863822592(MiAaPQ)EBC1531128(EXLCZ)99267000000049200820131228d2011 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierAUP new poets 4 /Chris Tse, Erin Scudder, Harry JonesAuckland :Auckland University Press,2011.1 online resource (94 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-86940-474-2 Cover; Contents; Chris Tse : Sing Joe; Dig; Chinese whispers; Cross-fade; Landing (A Thursday, A Calm); Sing Joe (1); Stability; The Second Wife; Grieving mechanism; Setting son; These days; Sing Joe (2); Plans; Waking the ghost; True stories; Husband to Wife; Turn the page; The inconvenient coat rack; Uncle Willie; Baby Joe; Finding the body; Drift on; Rootseeking missions; The family village; Deracinate; Erin Scudder : Admission; The Former Pastor; Confession; Ancient March; Cranes; Fingered Lace; Springtime; As Big as a House; Sextina; Admission; Little Red Herring; In the Pantry; FloorRoofFancywork; Fall at French Bay or Fall at the Saugeen Reserve; Where the Beasts Are; The Fall; Bath; Aphorisms for Afternoons; Dog; In the Hearts of Houses; His Sister; Boiling Point; Polar Bear in a Snowstorm or My Parents' Lounge at Christmas; Angel; Harry Jones : Beyond Hinuera; Swimming; Three-Finger Exercise; Freedom; One Hour; The Blade; Beachfront; Pile-up; Looking at Lucretia; The Maori Chess Champion; History; A Grey Silk Shirt; Upskirt; Australia; Shining; Beyond Hinuera; Commedia; Cleaning Shoes; The Plum Tree; Curtains; Out of the Dark; On the Canterbury Plains; After the FloodCopyrightThe latest in the series, this fourth volume showcases poetry from three very disparate voices: Harry Jones, Erin Scudder, and Chris Tse. Harry Jones's flair for lyric is palpable in his accomplished and elegant poetry. Erin Scudder writes sophisticated, dark, and flavorful pieces that focus on the sound and shape of words. Personal and universal at the same time, her work is specific yet interested in archetypes and tropes. Chris Tse draws from his family history and Chinese heritage to produce fascinating narrative poems.
