Michael Goldfield challenges standard explanations for union decline, arguing that the major causes are to be found in the changing relations between classes.

Free Labor: Workfare and the Contested Language of Neoliberalism
ISBN: 9780226453651 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani s proudest accomplishments is his expansion of the Work Experience Program, which uses welfare recipients to do routine work once done by unionized city workers. The fact that WEP workers are denied the legal status of employees and make far less money and enjoy fewer rights than do city workers has sparked fierce opposition.

Crippled Justice: The History of Modern Disability Policy in the Workplace

"Crippled Justice," the first comprehensive intellectual history of disability policy in the workplace from World War II to the present, explains why American employers and judges, despite the Americans with Disabilities Act, have been so resistant to accommodating the disabled in the workplace.
