In the course of covering the auto industry’s downsizing trend for The Globe and Mail, the Wall Street Journal and Reuters among others, Solange De Santis usually saw the issue from the management’s point of view. When she left gave up journalism to become an assembly-line worker at a car plant, however, the realities of blue-collar concerns became readily apparent. Life on the Line is a candid and detailed look at her experiences at a General Motors plant, poignant, witty and insightful as it illustrates both the plight of the worker and the dizzying politics at work within a large industrial corporation. | Life On The Line by Solange De Santis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
