Abstract

Using direct observations and extensive field interviewing over a 4-year period, this paper examines practices and beliefs of shop stewards in their effects on drinking patterns and consequences. It also includes response frequencies from a random sample survey questionnaire (n = 984) that are consistent with the qualitative analysis of steward behavior. Several themes are extracted which position steward handling of alcohol-related cases as intervening between disciplinary measures of supervisors and consequences of work-related drinking of union employees.
