Interview by
Aurelie von Blazekovic
The pandemic exposes disastrous working conditions in many professions. The stress in clinics, the little money that people work for in supermarkets, delivery services or day care centers. Nicole Mayer-Ahuja is professor for the sociology of work, business and economics in Göttingen. Together with Oliver Nachtwey from the University of Basel, she has published the book “Misunderstood service providers: inside”, an anthology about work in systemically relevant professions with reports and interviews from the meat industry, 24-hour care and the Amazon logistics center.
