Employee Perceptions of Organizational Practices and the Impacts of Plant Modernization: A Canadian Case Study (Classic Reprint)

The installation studied is a single metals refinery of a partially vertically integrated industrial firm. The refinery is located in an Ontario urban centre. The entire firm has international operations and is also a world leader in its major product lines. The company operates numerous facilities, each of which is exclusively in the private sector. The hourly-rated employees studied in the analysis are blue-collar workers covered by a collective bargaining agreement which was negotiated by a single local of a major international-based industrial union. In contrast, the line supervisors surveyed are all non-unionized management employees. The internal structure of this plant is highly representative of the type of internal labour market found in refineries operating in Canada and the United States throughout the 1960 to 1990 era.
