Summary

Abstract: The current impact of major stressors on US male blue-collar workers is explored for managers and supervisors. Starting with a description of objective and subjective work stressors (e.g., inadequate compensation, work hazards), the material moves on to a discussion of labor's role as both a source and resolver of blue-collar stress. Physical and mental health issues regarding blue-collar stress are examined, and stress created by new ecological and environmental controversies are discussed. A discussion of several current or prospective reforms is included, as well as inputs from blue-collar workers concerning various stress scenarios. (wz).
