Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1988.

This dissertation examines workplace organization and labor relations in the rapidly growing "high-tech" microelectronics manufacturing industry. It focuses on the work experiences of Third World immigrant women who dominate the productive operative jobs in Silicon Valley, California. The primary "division of labor" referred to in the dissertation title is the occupational structure and workplace arrangements in Silicon Valley's semiconductor "chip" manufacturing industry. The research illustrates how this class division of jobs is affected by other "divisions of lives": those based on gender, race and nationality. It also documents the connections between the industry's social division of labor and the household and international divisions of labor.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines workplace organization and labor relations in the rapidly growing "high-tech" microelectronics manufacturing industry. It focuses on the work experiences of Third World immigrant women who dominate the productive operative jobs in Silicon Valley, California. The primary "division of labor" referred to in the dissertation title is the occupational structure and workplace arrangements in Silicon Valley's semiconductor "chip" manufacturing industry. The research illustrates how this class division of jobs is affected by other "divisions of lives": those based on gender, race and nationality. It also documents the connections between the industry's social division of labor and the household and international divisions of labor.
520 $a The main thesis is that class struggle, like class structure, can and does take gender- and racial-specific forms, particularly in workplaces where managers and workers are divided by sex and race. Employers and managers directly use sexism, racism and nationalism to assign jobs, and to divide and control workers. Workers develop creative, often "hidden" strategies to resist this control. The study informs current theoretical discourses on gender; segmented labor markets; the international division of labor; race and immigration. It also focuses on ideology and the formation of consciousness.
520 $a Primary research included 171 in-depth interviews, including independent interviews with 84 workers and 41 managers and employers, who collectively represented over twenty-five firms. Production and labor patterns at 19 manufacturing firms were observed. Workers' family members, union organizers and community leaders were also interviewed. In addition to examining workplace issues and union organizing in the high-tech industry, this study provides detailed ethnographic portraits of the daily lives of recent Third World working class immigrants who are settling in urban areas.
