'Twenty Years of Schooling and They Put You on the Day Shift': The Australian Working Class in the 1990s

Working Papers from The University of New South Wales. Department of Industrial Relations.

Abstract: This paper offers a systematic overview of the working class, refutes common arguments about its supposed disappearance or irrelevance, and seeks to demonstrate the power of Marxist analysis in explaining its role and behaviour. We understand the workingclass as those who do not own or control the means of production, who must therefore sell to employers their ability to work, and who exercise no substantial degree of control over their own labour or the labour of others.
