Description: Sweatshops on Wheels : Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation, Hardcover by Belzer, Michael H., ISBN 0195128869, ISBN-13 9780195128864, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Long hours, low wages, and unsafe workplaces characterized sweatshops a hundred years ago. These same conditions plague American trucking today.
Sweatshops on Wheels: Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation exposes the dark side of government deregulation in Americas interstate trucking industry. In the years since deregulation in 1980, median earnings have dropped 30% and most long-haul truckers earn less than half of pre-regulation
wages. Work weeks average more than sixty hours. Today, Americas long-haul truckers are working harder and earning less than at any time during the last four decades.
Written by a former long-haul trucker who now teaches industrial relations at Wayne State University, Sweatshops on Wheels raises crucial questions about the legacy of trucking deregulation in America and casts provocative new light on the issue of government deregulation in general.
