The collapse of the Soviet Union led to a period of steep economic
decline, followed by economic reform, soaring inflation, corruption
and crime. Despite the fact that unions were part of the State and
that membership was obligatory, incorporating 98 percent of the
labor force, millions of workers were not paid their wages.
Based upon an abundance of first-hand material, "Labour After
Soviet Socialism "examines the complex interplay of history,
ideology, leadership, state policy and economics, to explain the
difficulty workers have encountered in defending their
interests.
David Mandel, labor scholar and activist, teaches political
science at the University of Quebec, Montreal. He is co-founder of
the School for Worker Democracy, which conducts rank-and-file labor
education in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
