內容簡介:
Why, in the world''s most affluent nation, are so many
corporations squeezing their employees dry? In this fresh,
carefully researched book, New York Times reporter Steven
Greenhouse explores the economic, political, and social trends that
are transforming America''s workplaces, including the decline of the
social contract that created the world''s largest middle class and
guaranteed job security and good pensions. We meet all kinds of
workers—white-collar and blue-collar, high-tech and low-tech,
middle-class and low-income—as we see shocking examples of
injustice, including employees who are locked in during a hurricane
or fired after suffering debilitating, on-the-job injuries.
With pragmatic recommendations on what government, business and
labor should do to alleviate the economic crunch, The Big
Squeeze is a balanced, consistently revealing look at a major
American crisis.
