Global capitalism is a precarious system. Relying on the steady
flow of goods across the world, trans-national companies such as
Wal-Mart and Amazon depend on the work of millions in docks,
warehouses and logistics centres to keep their goods moving. This
is the global supply chain, and, if the chain is broken, capitalism
grinds to a halt. This book looks at case studies across the world
to uncover a network of resistance by these workers who, despite
their importance, often face vast exploitation and economic
violence. Experiencing first hand wildcat strikes, organised
blockades and boycotts, the authors explore a diverse range of case
studies, from South China dockworkers to the transformation of the
port of Piraeus in Greece, and from the Southern California
logistics sector, to dock and logistical workers in Chile and
unions in Turkey.
