Packed with valuable analysis and information, Hard Work explores historical perspectives, examines social and political policies, and brings us inside today's unions, providing an excellent introduction to labor in America. Hard Work begins with a comparison of the very different conditions that prevail for labor in the United States and in Europe. What emerges is a picture of an American labor movement forced to operate on terrain shaped by powerful corporations, a weak state, and an inhospitable judicial system. What also emerges is a picture of an American worker that has virtually disappeared from the American social imagination. Recently, however, the authors find that a new kind of unionism-one that more closely resembles a social movement-has begun to develop from the shell of the old labor movement. Looking at the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas they point to new practices that are being developed by innovative unions to fight corporate domination, practices that may well signal a revival of unionism and the emergence of a new social imagination in the United States. 606 $aLabor movement$zUnited States 606 $aLabor unions$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aIndustrial relations$zUnited States 606 $aBureaucracy$zUnited States 615 0$aLabor movement 615 0$aLabor unions$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLabor unions$xManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial relations 615 0$aBureaucracy 676 $a331.88/0973 700 $aFantasia$b Rick$0965308 701 $aVoss$b Kim$01463396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783389203321 996 $aHard work$93672675 997 $aUNINA
