Women and Trade Unions in France: The Tobacco and Hat Industries, 1890-1914
ISBN: 9783034317382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Broke: The Broken Contractor's Insurance System and How to Fix It
ISBN: 9781599321066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The system is broken: Construction CEOs are buying contractor's insurance based on the lowest premium, and the ""savings"" are costing them a fortune: up to $20 lost for every claim dollar spent. The status quo can break a growing company, because brokers get paid their commission, whether or not they help prevent claims, manage risks or improves safety -- and in most cases, they don't. Contractors can go broke: driven into bankruptcy by hidden exposures and insurance loopholes that leave them blind-sided to their biggest risks. Construction Risk Advisor Robert Phelan deconstructs the broken...

Sexual Strangers: Gays, Lesbians, and Dilemmas of Citizenship
ISBN: 9781566398275 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is the United States a heterosexual regime? If it is, how may we understand the political position of those who cannot or will not align themselves with hetero sexuality? With these provocative questions, Shane Phelan raises the issue of whether lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people can be seen as citizens at all. Can citizenship be made queer? Or does citizenship require the exclusion of those who are regarded as queer to preserve the "equality" that it promises?
In Sexual Strangers, Shane Phelan argues that, in the United States, queers are strangers -- not exactly the... Is the United States a heterosexual regime? If it is, how may we understand the political position of those who cannot or will not align themselves wi...

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....

Somebody Telling Somebody Else: A Rhetorical Poetics of Narrative
ISBN: 9780814254318 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Somebody Telling Somebody Else, James Phelan proposes a paradigm shift for narrative theory, a turn from viewing narrative as a structure to viewing it as a rhetorical action in which a teller selectively deploys the resources of storytelling in order to accomplish particular purposes in relation to particular audiences. Phelan explores the consequences of this shift for an understanding of various elements of narrative, including reliable and unreliable narration, character-character dialogue, and occasions of narration. In doing so, he offers new readings of a wide range of...

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

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. 30 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...
