Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description The contributors to this book are labor activists reflecting on their direct experiences and their unions efforts to address the serious problems facing them in a rapidly changing political and economic environment. The authors discuss now new forms of international competition, corporate restructuring, technological innovation, and the antilabor policies and prejudices of recent national administrations have undermined union strength and influence, reflected in steeply declining membership and the erosion of workers rights and living standards. The book is anchored in the reality of workers daytoday struggles.Union Voices focuses on three central issues which confront all workers and unions: first, changing technology and work organization, especially its effect on health and safety and worker displacement, and union responses to the new workplace; second, the impact of the changing economy on workforce composition and the problem of responding to the needs of new work constituencies, especially among women and new immigrant groups; and third, the question of developing new union practices, especially to promote alliances between unions and other social movements, both nationally and internationally. Review This book is unique in that it is a nonacademic treatment, or more accurately, an academic treatment by nonacademics, informed by their trade union experience. It gives an unvarnished view of workers daytoday struggles, including both victories won and defeats suffered. Gilbert J. Gall, Pennsylvania State UniversityI like the direct experience of workers expressed in their terms. The text completely belies the negative stereotype about labor union leaders. It shows the considered responses to the manifold changes in the workplace that have challenged accepted ways of doing things and indicates the readiness of the rank and file to respond flexibly to the new demands put upon them.I think there is no more significant set of issues in todays labor scene. The future of American industry and economy is at stake. Workers are the only sector making as their primary goal the stabilization of employment and the workplace at home. The way in which these rank and file members address this issue is a convincing demonstration of their capability and the need to place more responsibility on them rather than a footloose management in the governing of our economy.
