The relationship between management and workers at Huseby Bruk : A comparative study of class and gender analysis between Huseby workers and those in power between 1919-1957

My essay will be based on a comparative study aimed to investigate and compare the workers' conditions at Huseby Bruk depending on who ruled the mill during the period between 1919-1957. But also to study conditions on the basis of different work at the factory during the studied time. Gender and patriarkalism will be two theories that will permeate the paper. I will compare various workplaces such as, agriculture, sawmill workers relation to the more middle-class professions, for example inspectors. My purpose is therefore to compare different occupations and their employment terms and conditions on the basis of gender and class. My aim is also to further compare the factories management and the relationship with the workers, then examine the structure of the relations based on gender, in what way affected the workers' situation based on who owned and ran the factory. More precisely, it means comparing Joseph, Florence and the guardian's powers related to workers at or around the mill. I will examine the period 1919- 1957 in order to study the power from three different owners -Joseph Florence and guardian
