Troublemakers : power, representation, and the fiction of the mass worker / William Scott.

• Introduction -- Part one: The making of the mass worker -- The powerless worker and the failure of political representation : "the lowest and most degraded of human beasts" -- The empowered worker and the technological representation of capital : "out of this furnace, this metal" -- Part two: Strategy and structure at the point of production -- The disempowering worker and the aesthetic representation of industrial unionism: "I am the book that has no end!" -- The powerful worker and the demand for economic representation: "they planned to use their flesh, their bones, as a barricade" -- Conclusion: Making trouble on a global scale.
