Abstract

In Denmark, as in the rest of Europe, the fish processing industry has replaced much human labour with technologically refined, but expensive, machinery. Although the overall production has increased—or, at any rate, not decreased—the number of fish processing workers has declined. Due to the sexual division of labour in the fish processing industry, women, in particular, have been sacked in the process of technological automation. Against this depressing background, three male researchers, with an interest in action research, together with a group of uneducated fish processing workers from Esbjerg, one of the largest fishing ports in Denmark, have, since 1989, been working on a project called “Industrial Production and Happiness”.
