But what most people don't know is that the SeaTac fight didn't begin with wages. The campaign emerged from an unlikely coalition that first united over the right of Muslim airport workers to pray. When unions stood in solidarity with Somali immigrants in a conflict with their employer over prayer breaks, something remarkable happened. From this skirmish a powerful coalition of immigrant workers, clergy, and unions emerged to force a dramatic showdown with the airlines and political establishment. At stake was not just money but justice: whether the airport economy would serve the needs of everyone who made it work. Driven by captivating narrative and insightful analysis, Jonathan Rosenblum's book reveals the inside story of SeaTac: airport workers and clergy staging face-to-face confrontations with corporate leaders; the challenges of uniting a diverse, largely immigrant workforce; and the internal tensions that nearly destroyed the coalition. Beyond $15 is a blunt assessment of the daunting problems within today's unions; a blueprint for a powerful, all-inclusive labor movement; and a call for workers to reclaim their power and voice in the new economy"--Provided by publisher.Foreign workersWashington (State)SeaTacCase studiesMuslimsEmploymentWashington (State)SeaTacCase studiesEmployee rightsWashington (State)SeaTacCase studiesLabor unionsWashington (State)SeaTacCase studiiesIndustrial relationsWashington (State)SeaTacCase studiesPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial RelationsbisacshBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / LaborbisacshPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Economic ConditionsbisacshElectronic books.Foreign workersMuslimsEmploymentEmployee rightsLabor unionsIndustrial relationsPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations.BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Economic Conditions.331.6/20979777POL013000BUS038000POL023000bisacshRosenblum Jonathan1961-1247642DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910157831703321Beyond2892123UNINA00843nam0 22002051i 450 UON0018162720231205103134.70920030730d1976 |0itac50 baengUS|||| 1||||Secrets spies and scholarsblueprint of the essential CIAby Ray S.
