In this research monograph, Bob Russell explores the changing character of industrial relations and labour processes in two staple industries: potash and uranium mining.Using an innovative case-analytic approach, Russell compares the managerial strategies used by five transnational firms. As indicated by his title, More with Less, he sees the shift toward post-Fordism as having more to do with the intensification of labour, accomplished in part through the creation of multitasked positions, than with worker empowerment and the transcendence of class conflict. Russell combines extensive empirical analysis with a review of contemporary writing on work relations and labour processes to provide this intensive political-economic perspective on the capital-labour relation. His meticulous research will interest scholars and professionals in Canada, the United States, Britain, Europe, and Australia. 410 0$aStudies in comparative political economy and public policy ;$v5. 606 $aMineral industries$zCanada$xManagement$vCase studies 606 $aPotash industry and trade$zCanada$xManagement$vCase studies 606 $aPotash mines and mining$zCanada$vCase studies 606 $aUranium industry$zCanada$xManagement$vCase studies 606 $aUranium mines and mining$zCanada$vCase studies 606 $aDownsizing of organizations$zCanada$vCase studies 606 $aIndustrial relations$zCanada$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMineral industries$xManagement 615 0$aPotash industry and trade$xManagement 615 0$aPotash mines and mining 615 0$aUranium industry$xManagement 615 0$aUranium mines and mining 615 0$aDownsizing of organizations 615 0$aIndustrial relations 676 $a331.042236360971 700 $aRussell$b Bob$f1950-$01036733 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456547103321 996 $aMore with less$92457240 997 $aUNINA
