Sommario/riassunto |
|
Shows how ordinary workers attempted to take command of their futures by chipping away at the cosy partnership between union leadership & corporate management. Focusing on the 1995 strike at Boeing, Cloud renders a multi-layered account of the battles between company & the union & within the union led by Unionists for Democratic Change. |
