In this comprehensive study, Gordon Hak approaches the forest industry from the perspectives of workers and employers, examining the two main sets of institutions that structured the relationship during the Fordist era: the companies and the unions. Drawing on theories of the labour process, Fordism, and discursive subjectivity, Hak relates daily routines of production and profit-making to broader forces of unionism, business ideology, ecological protest, technological change, and corporate concentration. The struggle of the small-business sector to survive in the face of corporate growth, the history of the industry on the Coast and in the Interior, the transformations in capital-labour relations during the period, government forest policy, and the forest industry's encounter with the emerging environmental movement are all considered in this eloquent analysis. With its critical historical perspective, Capital and Labour in the British Columbia Forest Industry will be essential reading for anyone interested in the business, natural resource, political, social, and labour history of the province.Capital and labourForests and forestryBritish ColumbiaHistoryForest products industryBritish ColumbiaHistoryForest products industryBritish ColumbiaEmployeesLabor unionsHistoryForesterieColombie-BritanniqueHistoireProduits forestiersIndustrieColombie-BritanniqueHistoireProduits forestiersIndustrieColombie-BritanniquePersonnelSyndicatsHistoireBritish ColumbiaEconomic conditions20th centuryColombie-BritanniqueConditions economiques20e siecleForests and forestryHistory.Forest products industryHistory.Forest products industryEmployeesLabor unionsHistory.ForesterieHistoire.Produits forestiersIndustrieHistoire.Produits forestiersIndustriePersonnelSyndicatsHistoire.338.1/74909711Hak Gordon H(Gordon Hugh)992043MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823840003321Capital and labour in the British Columbia forest industry, 1934-744039692UNINA
