Food work [Uncategorized] — precariousunderstanding @ 8:36 pm

I still need to read everything posted here. Aside from that, one avenue of research to pursue on this blog that I’d be keen to pursue is food service/fast food worker organizing. Toward that, a link dump. (Another avenue would be to look at the history of the food industry and the distribution of the labor of reproduction. I think Jameson quips somewhere that fast food is in part a response to the demand for Wages for Housework.)

More stuff: The first is a story about the pizza drivers’ union in Florida and the second is their web site. (I know the FL wobs have some relationship with those cats but I don’t know what it is.) The third is a trot pamphlet about a pizza driver campaign, which is pretty good considering its source.
