Contrary to popular belief, organized labor is not dying although
its membership has declined in most Western economies. The world
membership of organized labor has increased 40 percent since 1980,
mainly in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia boosting the global
union membership from 140 to 166 million between 1995 and 2001.
With 16 million union members, the United States has the second
largest number of union members of any country in the world after
the Russian Federation. The A to Z of Organized Labor captures the
dynamism of this fascinating, complex subject and makes it
accessible to any interested researcher. Containing 400 entries
that cover organized labor in countries around the world, an
up-to-date chronology, and an extensive bibliography arranged by
subject, this dictionary provides an excellent source for these
historical study of organized labor. Notable revised and new
material include: o Statistical appendix o Guide to relevant
Internet sites o Glossary of terms o Summary list of past and
present international labor leaders o Lists of global union
federations and the affiliated organizations of major national
labor federations o Analytical lists of the membership of the
International Confederation of Free Trade Unions An essential
reference for students and scholars, this work will also be of
interest to labor economists, lawyers, sociologists, human rights
activists, and historians.
