People need dignity and autonomy at work. If they are denied this, there will be a strong tendency to resist working conditions and misbehave at work. This book presents and analyses stories about people's resistance in working life that make us reflect upon how employees are treated at work and consequences thereof.

JAN CH. KARLSSON Professor of Sociology at the Department of Working life science at Karlstad University, Sweden. Among hisprevious books in English are Commitment to Work and Job Satisfaction, Flexibility and Stability in Working Life, Gender Segregation, and Explaining Society.
