Sommario/riassunto

"Organizing Matters demonstrates the interplay between two distinct logics of labour's collective action: on the one hand - workers coming together, usually at their place of work, entrusting the union to represent their interests, and on the other hand - social bargaining in which the trade union constructs labour's interests from the top-down The book investigates the tensions and potential complementarities between the two logics through the combination of a strong theoretical framework and an extensive qualitative case study of trade union organizing and recruitment in four countries - Austria, Germany, Israel and the Netherlands. These countries still utilize social-wide bargaining, but find it necessary to draw and develop strategies transposed from Anglo-American countries in response to continuously declining membership. Trade unionists and scholars will find a compelling story of organizing, narrated in the voice of organizers,



trade union officials and local observers. This a source for reflection on the daily hardship and strategic goals of organizing. Theorists will be able to utilize the two logics for explaining ongoing challenges for trade unions' revitalization worldwide"--

Sommario/riassunto

praise for a fine line  ""A breath of turbo-charged fresh air that doesn't regurgitate the ego-maniac CEO's selective memory or an outside expert's misinterpretations. Hartmut explains innovation through the
