What to make of it all. 330 $bRamparts of Resistance examines the experience of British and US workers during the last three decades to offer a broad analysis of the need for a new independent politics of trade unionism. Recent years have seen great changes in the trade union movement, from waves of strikes in the 1970's to a battery of employer and state onslaughts, culminating in the anti-union legislation of the 1980's and 1990's. Looking at grassroots labour struggles, Cohen explores issues of reformism, trade union democracy and the political meaning of ordinary workplace resistance, and puts forward ideas for change. Ramparts of Resistance examines the failure of the union movement to rise to the neo-liberal challenge and calls for a new politics of independent unionism and an explicitly class-based renewal of "workers' power". Coming at a time when union activity and membership involvement continues despite the odds, this book is an inspiring guide to the direction that unionism should take. 606 $aLabor unions$zGreat Britain 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States 606 $aLabor unions$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aLabor unions$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial relations$zGreat Britain 606 $aIndustrial relations$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor unions 615 0$aLabor unions 615 0$aLabor unions$xGovernment policy 615 0$aLabor unions$xGovernment policy 615 0$aIndustrial relations 615 0$aIndustrial relations 676 $a331.880941 700 $aCohen$b Sheila$0880143 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454922103321 996 $aRamparts of resistance$91965238 997 $aUNINA
