Rezensionen

"The book's objective is to show some of the diversity of labour relations in the sector, rather than be comprehensive, and in this it succeeds. ... Working for Oil is a valuable and distinctive addition to research on the evolution of the global oil industry, and will be of interest to anyone who cares about industrial relations and the agency of labour in this sector." (Gavin Bridge, Journal of Industrial Relations, Vol. 61 (2), April, 2019)
