Worker protests in post-communist Romania and Ukraine is a book
about strategies of trade unions confronting employers in difficult
conditions. The book's main idea is to study why and how successful
forms of workers' interest representation could emerge in a hostile
context. The post-communist context makes it difficult for workers
and trade unions to mobilise, pose threats to employers, and break
out of their political isolation, but even under such harsh
conditions strategy matters for defending workers' rights and
living standards. The cases studied in this book are 18 conflict
episodes at 10 privatised plants in the Romanian steel industry and
Ukraine's civil machine-building sector in the 2000s. This book
should be relevant for anyone taking interest in how and to what
extent workers can reassert their influence over the conditions of
production in regions and economic sectors characterised by
disinvestment (of which outsourcing and 'lean' methods of
production are instances). -- .
