This is an edited collection of items on unionism worldwide,
recognising the crisis that an informatised and globalised
capitalism implies for work, workers and the trade-union movement.
It considers radical alternatives for labour organisation and
action in the 21st century. The book includes contributions by
informed academics and unionists and proposes alternative union
policies or models in relation to the working class(es), to women,
democracy, ecology, internationalism.
The trade union movement internationally is finding itself peripheralized by a series of mutually-reinforcing processes: the on-going world economic crisis; the uneven transition from an industrial to an information and service capitalism; the aggressive policies of neo-liberalism; the collapse of Communism and Radical Nationalism; the decline of the globalization that undermines the nation-state to which union hopes have long been pinned. The editors argue that this crisis provides an opportunity for labor to recover or reinvent itself.
