New class divisions in a modern working life?
本文质疑传统阶级划分在理解当代石油服务业手工与非手工工人工作环境中的有效性，发现手工/非手工划分仍相关，但供应链中与上级企业接触程度也造成新的分化。
Abstract This article questions the usefulness of a traditional class divide as a tool for understanding a contemporary working environment among manual and non‐manual workers in the oil service industry. The case of study is an enterprise within a supply chain with asymmetrical relationships between companies. Our findings show that the traditional manual/non‐manual class division is still relevant for understanding differences in perceived work situation in a modern work organisation. However, alongside a cleavage between manual and non‐manual workers, we find a cleavage between workers with differing amounts of contact with employees in organisations higher up in the supply chain.
