further analysis of the position and experiences of Aboriginal workers in the study. The following questions seem particularly important to me: why and how were Aboriginal workers placed largely in one occupation only? By what basis was this discrimination made? What were their specific experiences of the changes in the labour process? Did they not have a different opinion from ‘white’ workers? Were any Aboriginals part of the union leadership? Russell also identified the Aboriginal female composition of the workforce but once again fails to explore their specific experiences of what is taking place in their workplace. This is too bad since the impact of the post-Fordist labour processes on women, and their reactions to it, are sorely lacking in Canadian research and elsewhere. In my view, a synopsis of Aboriginals occupational and educational background is insufficient to understand their workplace experiences. Three, this is a conventional study of the organization of work. It ignores the more recent literature on ‘discourse’ and the labour process. It would have been useful for Russell to discuss, for example, the meaning of work and masculinity for a (primarily male) workforce experiencing tremendous change to their work and their identities as workers. Is it possible that the ‘more with less’ thesis is more than an economic discourse? To what extent is this idea tied to managerial assumptions about the working class body and masculinity, and the latter’s ability to endure shifts in managerial programmes? The literature today argues that not only is work organization changing and the politics of production, but also workers’ identities. Pity this focus was not defined in an otherwise very good study. 228 Capital & Class #72
