Blue-Collar Jobs Disappear, Taking Families’ Way of Life Along
January 16, 2008 The New York Times By ERIK ECKHOLM
JACKSON,
Ohio — After 30 years at a factory making truck parts, Jeffrey Evans was earning
$14.55 an hour in what he called “one of the better-paying jobs in the area.”
Blue-Collar Jobs Disappear, Taking Families’ Way of Life
Along,

June 11 1963 The Guardian
With the
spread of automation, the machine controller is replacing the machine operator,
and much work that used to be done on the factory floor is moving to the office.
This will make for changes in the next generation of trade unionism, and unless
the unions are prepared for change, many wage-earners may see little point in
joining.
Light in Dark
Places . Thirty-six council roadworks foremen yesterday started a lecture course
at Ashington Technical College, Northumberland, intended partly to teach them
how to handle people who watch them digging holes. Each course, believed be the
first of its kind in Britain, will last five days with new batches of foremen
taking part throughout the summer. From The Guardian archive > June 11 1963, White collars (and blouses), G, republished 11.6.2007, p. 32, http://digital.guardian.co.uk/guardian/2007/06/11/pages/ber32.shtml

Increased mechanisation in Kent
THE ANNUAL migration from the East End of London to the hop-fields of Kent has begun. Since the weekend a steady procession of family parties has been seen at London Bridge Station, while yesterday the train company added a special morning train from St Paul’s Station. Those who travel by night trains — on Monday evening 1,700 persons left London — obtain the concession of reduced fares and free transport for their luggage. This is an important item to the hop- pickers, for many of them apparently transfer a generous part of their household possessions to their temporary quarters. It was noticed yesterday that, heterogeneous as were the collections of goods, there was one article common to all — the perambulator. There were perambulators of all shapes and sizes. There were hundreds of children, but the children walked, while the go-carts, bassinettes, and prams were heaped high with blankets, tin boxes and bundles of clothes. In several cases the high pile was crowned by a tin bath. The hop-pickers who left yesterday appeared to be in the highest spirits, looking upon the expedition in the light of a holiday. It is expected that the yield of the crops will be well below the average, for attacks of aphids have been severe this winter, and continuous washing has been necessary. It is pointed out that the crop would be much greater if the Controller were to allow the growers to pick all they grow. The limitation on the quantity of hops which a grower can sell is felt to be a great hardship.
