Descriere completă

Home-based workers are an ever increasing proportion§of the Australian clothing industry's workforce. §With decreasing tariff protections and increasing§cheap imports of apparel into Australia, home-based§workers offer both competitive labour costs, but most§importantly, quick turnaround times. The media and§many academic studies, focus on this supply-side§story of how home-based workers underpin a§fundamentally transforming industry. This book turns§our attention to the lives of the (mostly) migrant§women who perform this work. Focusing on a newly§collectivising group of women entrepreneurs and§employees who do industrial sewing in their homes,§this study documents a progressive policy shift§that occurred in Sydney, Australia. The work§grapples with the complexities of mounting a case for§state endorsed minimum wage and condition protections§without an over-reliance on victimhood storylines. §This analysis sheds light on a usually invisible§subject, the home-based worker, and should be of§interest to those organising in the industry,§feminist scholars, and industry policy analysts.
