Working for Ford (1984) describes just what it is like to work in a car factory, very often in the words of the workers themselves. It also reveals the process by which large-scale industries seek to overcome industrial conflict and the way in which unions, shop-floor workers and shop stewards express their political and economic aspirations. It examines the changes the 1973 oil crisis caused in the British car industry and how they affected the Ford Motor Company.
