Yossi Berger has seen it all: workplace stupidity and violence, industrial 'accidents 'and tragic deaths at work. Yet A Kind of Violence is about the subtleties of workplace violence: the small stresses that become psychological disorders; the chemicals that little by little eat away workers' insides; the 'she'll-be-right' masculinity that niggles away at safety conditions, hard won by generations of workers and unions. A workplace health and safety activist for the Australian Workers' Union, Yossi had documented and photographed a wide range of workplaces and activities. From the shearing shed to the Longford Gas Plant; from the chemical works to the glass furnace; from the clothing factory to the construction site, Yossi records for posterity the kind of violence that usually goes unreported in Australian workplaces.
