Wissensarbeiter organisieren

For a long time, the transformation of our work-oriented society has resulted in changes to the structural composition of its workforce. Consequently, the typical milieu of industrial workers, with its traditionally high levels of organisation, has lost significance in comparison to those of other types of workers, whose representative bodies usually meet with disdain or which many people are reluctant to join. Bearing this development in mind, this book, now in its second edition, focuses on highly qualified employees in occupations which require a great deal of expertise, a group that represents the paradigm of popular types of work and interests at the moment.
