Description:
Methuen, North Ryde, 1987. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. second-hand copy, no annotations, no damage to describe. In the early 1980s Australia became the largest seaborne exporter of coal in the world.  Yet in 1946 the coal mining industry was in the state of chaos, unable to meet even domestic demand. This book investigates the reason for this extraordinary turnaround. Part of the reason lies with government intervention since 1946 which helped achieve an economic, sociological and psychological restructuring of the coalfields and their communities. The book also examines the limits to state control. Although the New South Wales Joint Coal Board acquired and exercised great control, the miners retained effective workplace control, successfully resisted complete proletarianization and were able to use the devices of direct control and bargaining to circumvent and challenge arbitral control.  Rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾"…
