Labor trends like outsourcing and technology hide some workers, and branding and employer mandates erase others. Invisible workers who remain under-protected by wage laws include retail workers who function as walking billboards and take payment in clothing discounts or prestige; waitstaff at "breastaurants" who conform their bodies to a business model; and inventory stockers at grocery stores who go hungry to complete their shifts. Invisible Labor gathers essays by prominent sociologists and legal scholars to illuminate how and why such labor has been hidden from view.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 25mmContributor: Marion Crain (Edited by), Winifred Poster (Edited by), Miriam Cherry (Edited by), Arlie Russell Hochschild (Foreword by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Business & FinanceAuthor: Marion CrainRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
