Pain and Prejudice
In 1978, when workers at a nearby phosphate refinery learned that the ore they processed was contaminated with radioactive dust, Karen Messing, then a new professor of molecular genetics, was called in to help. Unsure of what to do with her discovery that exposure to the radiation was harming the workers and their families, Messing contacted senior colleagues but they wouldn’t help. Neither the refinery company nor the scientific community was interested in the scary results of her chromosome studies. Over the next decades Messing encountered many more cases of workers around the world, factory workers, cleaners, checkout clerks, bank tellers, food servers, nurses, teachers, suffering and in pain without any help from the very scientists and occupational health experts whose work was supposed to make their lives easier. Arguing that rules for scientific practice can make it hard to see what really makes workers sick, in Pain and Prejudice Messing tells the story of how she went from looking at test tubes to listening to workers.
One-eyed Science
Responding to the tough question, why are scientists so unresponsive to the needs of women workers, Messing describes long-standing difficulties in gaining attention for the occupational health of women, ranging from the structure of the grant process and the conferences crucial to the professional life of researchers to the basic assumptions of scientific practice.

Vers une nouvelle conception de l'"idéaltype" du travailleur?
L'idéaltype du travailleur, qui s'est construit en référence au modèle du mâle pourvoyeur, valorise les longues heures de travail. Les exigences des organisations ne sont certes pas étrangères à ce phénomène. La performance des employés est en effet souvent mesurée en fonction du temps qu'ils accordent à leur travail, et leurs besoins de flexibilité ont vite été « vampirisés » par la logique productiviste. Bien que les travailleurs, y compris ceux à temps partiel, disent vouloir consacrer moins d'heures au travail rémunéré, dans les faits, le temps de travail a augmenté, surtout chez les plus scolarisés, les professionnels, les cadres et les gestionnaires. (The ideal...
The Subjective Experience of Joblessness in Poland
This book describes the experience of joblessness and unemployment in contemporary Poland. It does so by combining qualitative and quantitative data from a special project conducted in Poland after the Great Recession and the long-term Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN) to describe the lives of the jobless: women and men currently out of work, the recently re-employed, and housewives. The book uses a class and inequality perspective to investigate how these women and men became jobless, how they look for and find employment, their household and social activities, and their political participation. It contextualizes these experiences with a description of Poland’s economy, labor market and employment policies after the fall of Communism and builds on the active interviewing and social constructionist approaches to explore the complex interviewer-respondent relationship.
L'intervention en santé et en sécurité du travail
La prévention dans les milieux de travail comporte de nombreux défis et s'appuie sur des interventions qui doivent être adaptées à divers contextes. Au cours des vingt dernières années, le marché du travail et, par consé¬quent, les milieux de travail ont été l'objet de profondes transformations. Ce livre propose une meilleure compréhension de divers contextes dans lesquels les principaux acteurs de la prévention agissent, par exemple dans les petites et moyennes entreprises, dans des secteurs qui se démar¬quent par la relation avec la clientèle ou encore là où la main-d'oeuvre féminine est majoritaire. Ce livre présente les compétences sur lesquelles s'appuient les inte...
Transformations du monde du travail
Mondialisation et compétitivité internationale, restructuration et délocalisation d’entreprises, changements technologiques et organisationnels, tertiarisation de l’économie, vieillissement et féminisation de la main-d’œuvre sont au nombre des facteurs qui transforment le monde du travail. Les transformations ne sont évidemment pas sans influence sur le domaine des relations industrielles, qui à l’origine s’était développé sur la base d’une relation d’emploi stable selon laquelle le travailleur pouvait escompter faire toute sa carrière auprès du même employeur. Pour souligner le vingtième anniversaire du Département de relations industrielles de l’Université ...
