Abstract 0075519 This project will investigate the changing lives of industrial workers in a large motorcycle manufacturing factory in Faridabad, India. Work processes and conditions have changed dramatically with industrial globalization, including new Japanese-style systems of shopfloor organization, increased casualization of the labor force, and the weakening of trade unions. This has made industrial labor more contentious and the lives of workers outside the factory (social networks) in flux. The researchers will analyze how workers respond to (comply with or resist) changing forms of labor organization and how workers perceive and structure their lives in the context of industrial globalization. Methods include participant observation, structured interviews with workers, managers, union leaders and others, and an intensive analysis of shopfloor politics with a core sample of workers. This project will contribute to our understanding of how industrial workers in the developing world are responding to new forms of industrial capitalism.

摘要0075519本项目将调查印度法里达巴德一家大型摩托车制造厂的产业工人的生活变化。 随着工业全球化，工作流程和条件发生了巨大变化，包括新的日本式车间组织系统，劳动力的日益专业化以及工会的削弱。 这使得工业劳动更具争议性，工人在工厂外（社交网络）的生活也在不断变化。研究人员将分析工人如何应对（遵守或抵制）不断变化的劳动组织形式，以及工人如何在工业全球化的背景下感知和构建他们的生活。 方法包括参与式观察，结构化访谈工人，经理，工会领导人和其他人，并与工人的核心样本车间政治的深入分析。这个项目将有助于我们了解发展中国家的产业工人如何应对新形式的工业资本主义。
