Questions about the Layout and Structure of the Workplace
I am conducting research about capitalist exploitation of workers in the education industry. Please consider answering some or all of the questions. You can come back and edit/add to your responses at any time.

The questions in this survey series are adapted specifically for education workers from Karl Marx's pamphlet "A Workers' Inquiry", which was first published in La Revue Socialiste on April 20, 1880. They were originally composed as a zine, which you can access here or download a printable version from our website.

I encourage you to use these questions in the process of organizing collective power in your workplace.

How is the labor divided in your workplace? What departments exist? Do you have access to an organizational chart?
Where does the electrical power come from?
When and how are supplies delivered? What companies does the institution contract with?
How is student drop-off and pickup managed? Is it conducted safely?
State the number of rooms in which the various branches of production are carried on. Draw a map of the workplace.
Describe the specialty in which you are engaged. Describe not only the technical side, but the muscular and nervous strain required, and its general effect on the physical and mental health of you and your coworkers.
Describe the hygienic conditions in the workspace; the size of the rooms, space allotted to every worker and student, ventilation, temperature, plastering, lavatories, general cleanliness, noise of machinery, pollution, dampness, and so on.
Is there any municipal or government supervision of hygienic conditions in the workplace?
Are there particular hazards which are harmful for the health and produce specific diseases among the workers?
Mention the accidents and incidents which have taken place to your personal knowledge.
Are there sufficient safety appliances against fire?
Have you ever received hazard pay?
Is there a nurse or other medical professional employed in your school, library, or museum? If you are such a medical professional, do you have adequate PPE provided? What are the conditions of your work?
Do you have any suggestions for how to improve this set of surveys? I would especially appreciate any suggestions for new questions and revisions to make existing questions more inclusive.
