An illustrated study of working life at Western Electric's Merrimack Valley Works in North Andover, Massachusetts, based on Richard Balzer's five months working inside the factory.

Combining observation, interviews and photography, Balzer examines blue-collar work, workplace culture, management, family life and the ways factory workers adapted to and reshaped their environment.
