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. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in employment relations. 606 $aLabor unions$zGreat Britain 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States 615 0$aLabor unions 615 0$aLabor unions 676 $a331.880941 701 $aGall$b Gregor$0924616 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815522003321 996 $aUnion organizing$93970795 997 $aUNINA
