This book examines a basic assumption behind most of the critical,
progressive thinking of our times: that trade unions are
necessarily tools for solidarity and are integral to a more equal
and just society. Shaul A. Duke assesses the trade union's
potential to promote equality in ethnically and racially diverse
societies by offering an in-depth look into how unions operate; how
power flows between union levels; where inequality originates; and
the role of union members in union dynamics. By analyzing the trade
union's effects on working-class inequality in Palestine during
1920-1948, this book shifts the conventional emphasis on
worker-employer relations to that of worker-worker relations. It
offers a conceptualization of how strong union members directed
union policy from below in order to eliminate competition, often by
excluding marginalized groups. The comparison of the union
experiences of Palestinian-Arabs, Jewish-Yemeni immigrants, and
Jewish women offers a fresh look into the labor history of
Palestine and its social stratification.
