The Laboring of Communication Will Knowledge

The Laboring of Communication examines the transformation of work and worker organizations in today's information society. The book focuses on how traditional trade unions and new worker associations growing out of social movements are coming together to address the crisis of organized labor. It concentrates on the creative responses of the technical and cultural workers in the mass media, telecommunications, and information technology industries.
