95: Labor-Management Relations -- Tom Lupton (Part 2)

Published: Nov. 15, 2022, 6 a.m.

We conclude our discussion of Lupton\u2019s "On the Shop Floor" by looking at both the importance of the study as a classic example of ethnography and the benefits of participant-observation, followed by the application of Lupton\u2019s findings in the modern post-pandemic workplace. To what extent do contemporary concerns such as the \u201cgreat resignation\u201d or \u201cquiet quitting\u201d echo Lupton\u2019s findings, and what are possible implications for today\u2019s workers and managers?
