Abstract

The building industry is approaching manufacturing industry when it comes to technology and work organization. This is a process commonly called 'the industrialization of building'. With this development the contradictions between site workers are changing. The traditional craft hierarchy is becoming less rigid and a new hierarchy of the best paid jobs is taking shape. Against this background I analyze the consequences of these changes for the site workers' main social weapons in their contradiction to management: the trade unions and work cultures.
