Introduction Study Scope Study Methodology Study Focus Study Results Workplace Measurement Indexes Joint study by CAW-Canada and McMaster University, Labour Studies. McMaster University Labour Studies was asked to join the study to provide methodological expertise and statistical analysis. One of the most extensive working conditions surveys of industrial workers and probably the largest study of auto assembly plant workers.
Benchmark study provides a snapshot of working conditions at a plant, company and sectoral level.
Provides plant by plant, company by company comparisons. It includes both direct and indirect production workers. GM consistently reports heavier loads on all four of our workload measures. Workers at General Motors were almost twice as likely to respond that their work had become heavier, faster, or had to be done in less time. In general, workers were least likely to report dissatisfaction with their immediate supervisor and most likely to report that management was uninterested in their welfare.
