More about the book

The book explores labor usage strategies within a leading Australian food retail firm, highlighting the employment relations implications in a competitive supermarket sector.

The study notes high staff turnover and recruitment challenges for the firm, while employee experiences vary based on their hierarchical position and personal situations, reflecting the complexities of employment in this sector.
