Can knowledge workers of the world unite? This question becomes
ever more urgent as telecommunications technology shrinks the world
and as more and more work is based on creating, processing and
transporting information. Communications, information and cultural
workers hold together the new global value chains that characterise
more and more industries. But, with employers responding to global
crisis by exerting ever-greater pressure on wages and working
conditions, will these workers be able to overcome national and
language differences and the divisions between occupational groups
to unite against them? This important collection brings together
articles from around the world to assess the state of play. From
striking IT workers in China to screenwriters in Hollywood, from
postal workers to cartoonists, from librarians to logistics
workers, what these workers have in common is that their work is
not only embedded in global value chains but also necessary for
modern communication to function. This includes communication among
workers and the organisations that represent them. The message:
knowledge workers can learn a lot from each other about how to
understand - and resist - the global forces that are shaping their
lives. Volume 4, number 2 of the innovative interdisciplinary
journal Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation will be of
interest to anyone studying the new international division of
labour whether this is from the perspective of labour sociology,
management theory, economic geography or industrial relations.
