In exploring the potential futures for the world's workers, the book provides an insightful account of how globalization has created a new global working class while increasing the insecurity and precarious nature of most employment. Moving beyond categories of North and South, Munck argues that the new global class of workers will be central both to the future of globalization and to its possible alternatives. In some ways the book poses a 'return to the future' drawing parallels with the birth of the labour and democratic movements before the consolidation of nation states.

At a time of growing unease with the negative effects of economic globalization, Rethinking Global Labour offers an important assessment of global labour and its potential for organization. 606 $aWorking class 606 $aLabor and globalization 606 $aLabor movement 606 $aLabor unions 606 $aCapitalism 615 0$aWorking class. 615 0$aLabor and globalization. 615 0$aLabor movement. 615 0$aLabor unions. 615 0$aCapitalism. 676 $a331.88 700 $aMunck$b Ronaldo$0143498 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 912 $a9910813472703321 996 $aRethinking global labour$94075811 997 $aUNINA
