Amazing Inside Look,
This review is from: America's Working Man: Work, Home, and Politics Among Blue Collar Property Owners (Paperback)
This book is a fascinating inside look at a hidden side of the American industrial complex. Having worked in a chemical company for 13 years, I can attest that David Halle's depiction of factory workers is very accurate. I'm amazed he was able to get inside.

Fascinating Insider View,

This review is from: America's Working Man: Work, Home, and Politics Among Blue Collar Property Owners (Hardcover)
It took David 7 years, as a research project, to "infiltrate" a NJ chemical plant, which is what it took to get the workers to trust him and reveal the secrets of how plants are *really* run. I worked for a chemical company for 13 years (not in a plant) and this book was an eye-opener. But then the behaviors of plant personnel made much more sense. The book helped me understand a very serious issue that went on in one of our plants. This information is very pertinent though may be less current due to increased automation of plant functions. A needed social project that involved a enormous commitment!
