This book investigates the state of trade unionism in Africa s most populous regional economic zone.

Industrial Relations After Pinochet: Firm Level Unionism and Collective Bargaining Outcomes in Chile
ISBN: 9783034301367 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In recent decades many countries have implemented neoliberal reforms that have had adverse consequences for unions. In Chile this process was particularly sweeping, having occurred under the right-wing dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Despite the transition to democracy in 1990, the labor relations system created by the Pinochet regime is still largely in place. Although a number of works have assessed the conditions of unionism in post-dictatorship Chile, little attention has been paid to the firm level, which is where most of the collective bargaining now takes place.

Organizing the Organized: Trade Union Renewal, Organizational Change and Worker Activism in Metropolitan America
ISBN: 9783034301329 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book studies a best-practices example of what is known as the organizing local approach to union renewal. Several unions in the US, the UK, and other countries have embraced this model of unionism as a formula for labor revitalization. Organizing locals aim to strengthen unions by redeploying resources and mobilizing workers around the goal of member recruitment. The union local under study stands out as an exceptional case within the US context. Against the backdrop of a languishing labor movement, this local has succeeded at recruiting workers and keeping its members engaged....

The Europeanization of Industrial Relations in the Service Sector: Problems and Perspectives in a Heterogeneous Field
ISBN: 9783034319676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The service sector has not always received the attention it merits in industrial relations research when set against its enormous economic significance. One factor in this is certainly the highly diverse nature of services. Research attention has also lagged behind long-standing processes of transnationalization undertaken by service sector companies and the challenges these pose for policy and practice in the field of employment relations. This study by Stefan Rub and Hans-Wolfgang Platzer represents a pioneering effort to remedy this gap. Through six named company case studies, Rub and...

The Acftu and Chinese Industrial Relations
ISBN: 9783034302050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In the context of China s growing influence over the global economy, its newly developed labour market and the subsequent series of industrial relations issues have captured much attention. However, research on industrial relations and labour problems in China is relatively underdeveloped. The classic three-party industrial relations model, which was developed for western economies, has been difficult to apply to China s circumstances.
In light of this, this book reviews the relevant existing industrial relations theories and explores their applicability to China. It then proposes a new...

Cross-National Comparisons of Social Movement Unionism: Diversities of Labour Movement Revitalization in Japan, Korea and the United States
ISBN: 9783034308687 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. For the past two decades efforts to halt the decline in union numbers and revitalize the labour movement have largely resided in social movement unionism (SMU). In the first English-language book to compare SMU in Japan, Korea and the United States, scholars from the three countries examine its emergence as a response to neoliberal globalization. Cross-National Comparisons of Social Movement Unionism moves beyond previous studies of SMU and union revitalization which have focussed on the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The eleven chapters offer empirical and...

Transnational Company Bargaining and the Europeanization of Industrial Relations: Prospects for a Negotiated Order
ISBN: 9783034309097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Over the past decade, European company-level employment regulation has emerged: European Works Councils (EWCs) and trade unions have begun to negotiate company-level collective agreements which have a far-reaching impact across borders on issues as diverse as company restructuring, health and safety, and profit-sharing. The negotiating parties have thus begun to fill the gap left by low levels of regulation and little formal structure, necessarily leading them to also bargain about the negotiating process itself.
This study is the first to provide a detailed analysis of the process of... Over the past decade, European company-level employment regulation has emerged: European Works Councils (EWCs) and trade unions have begun to negotiat...

Liberal Workers of the World, Unite?: The Icftu and the Defence of Labour Liberalism in Europe and Latin America (1949-1969)
ISBN: 9783034301121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The history of international free trade union organisations during the first two decades of the Cold War is an important but often neglected aspect of the development of post-war labour and liberalism. In this path-breaking book, Rodriguez Garcia fills this void in the historical literature by offering a comparative analysis of two cases, the European Regional Organisation (ERO) and the Inter-American Regional Workers Organisation (ORIT), which were created in the early 1950s as regional branches of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). The author employs the term...

Tomorrow It Could Be You unearths the historical significance of strikes and boycotts between 1978 and 1982 in South Africa s Cape Province and explores their vital role in strengthening the country s growing political movement.

Women and Trade Unions in France: The Tobacco and Hat Industries, 1890-1914
ISBN: 9783034317382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Based on the thorough examination of French archival sources, this book examines in detail two industries in which women formed the majority of the workforce in France between 1890 and 1914. The choice of the tobacco and hat industries is particularly relevant in the sense that the tobacco industry, unlike the hat industry, was a state monopoly in which women were in the majority and held meaningful responsibilities in unions at a time when women were generally in the minority and under-represented in the labour movement.
The main aim of this comparison is to assess and qualify... Based on the thorough examination of French archival sources, this book examines in detail two industries in which women formed the majority of the wo...

Inside the Unions: A Comparative Analysis of Policy-Making in Australian and British Printing and Telecommunication Trade Unions
ISBN: 9783034317313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book consists of a comparative analysis of policy-making in Australian and British telecommunications and printing trade unions. It tests the validity of different theoretical models of union policy-making and behaviour, whilst also assessing the strength of the book's hypothesis, that informal micro-political influences inside unions - such as personal friendships, enmities and loyalties - affect union policy-making to a greater extent than has been previously acknowledged in the literature.
Two central questions lie at the heart of this book: How, and why, do unions adopt... This book consists of a comparative analysis of policy-making in Australian and British telecommunications and printing trade unions. It tests the val...

Rise and Decline of Brazil's New Unionism: The Politics of the Central Única DOS Trabalhadores
ISBN: 9783034301145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 465 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the political trajectory of Latin America s most important contemporary labor movement. The New Unionism played a central role in Brazil s struggle for democracy in the 1980s and recast the country s subsequent party politics through its creation of the innovative Workers Party (PT). The author breaks new ground by analyzing this celebrated prototype of -social movement unionism- as a heterogeneous alliance of component factions that evolves in relation to shifting economic, political, and ideological contexts. Through the prism of internal politics, he shows how Brazil s...

With national industrial relations systems struggling to keep apace with the global and mobile nature of capital, the emergence of the European works council has caught the imagination of both practitioners and scholars of this institution in the last two decades.
