Just A Temp (Women In The Political Economy)

This book examines these issues, documenting the concerns and interpretations of temp workers about their own work lives. Based on the author's "participant-observation" research undertaken between 1988 and 1991, and on interviews with 35 others involved in temporary employment Kevin D. Henson.
