This book considers exactly how trade unions are working to do this and provides a much-needed evaluation of these rebuilding strategies. By comparing historical and contemporary case studies to assess the impact of various organizing campaigns, this book assesses the progress of unions across Europe and America. It raises key debates about the organizing culture and considers the impact of recent union recognition laws on employers and the government's Fairness at Work policy. A topical and in-depth study into the experiences of trade unions across Europe and America, this is a comprehensive and thought provoking book which is essential reading for those in the industrial relations field.Routledge studies in employment relations.Labor unionsGreat BritainLabor unionsUnited StatesLabor unionsLabor unions331.880941Gall Gregor924616MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815522003321Union organizing3970795UNINA
