The book explores labor usage strategies within a leading Australian food retail firm, highlighting the employment relations implications in a competitive supermarket sector. It reveals that, despite prevalent theories of dual labor markets, a robust internal labor market exists, characterized by short-hour casual positions as entry points. 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.
