Hi Kurt,
I hope all is well (and that you're looking forward to Fall arriving J).
Check out http://bernardoferdman.org/Articles/Edge.htm for a list of resources, many (especially those by Ellen Kossek), related to your interest. (We compiled these references and links in connection with a session at SIOP last year, "Working on the Edge: I/O Psychology and Marginalized Workers." I hope the list is helpful.
Warm regards,
Bernardo

Subject: Work-Life Balance for Blue Collar Workers
Hi All
Trust you're well, and looking forward to Spring arriving.
Currently, I am beginning some research on work-life balance for
blue collar workers specifically, and wondered if you knew of any
companies (policies and/or practices) or academic publications that addresses
the issue. If so, are you able to share something/documentation on that with me?
Regards
Kurt
