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"--Provided by publisher.2 logics of trade union representationLabor unionsOrganizingtrade unions bookrevitalizationFreedom of associationorganizingindustrial relationsLabor unionsOrganizing.331.87Mundlaḳ Gai885923Edward Elgar Publishing,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910404146603321Organizing matters1978124UNINA
