Abstract: What workers think about work and the firm, and working class consciousness in general has been a central topic in industrial sociology since the 1950s. In the earlier research a specific understanding of performance, as well as taking pride in the work done, perceptions of a corporate and societal dichotomy and an orientation towards collective representation were described as recurring elements of workers‘ consciousness. Based on recent publications and case studies we propose that there are important continuities. But, especially due to the increasing dualisation of working conditions and employment there are also elements of change, as for example, growing levels of insecurity which has even reached core workers. In the end, important general elements of working class thinking seem to be still in place although working conditions are different.
