Sommario/riassunto: "Offers a wide range of new grassroots perspectives on global migrant labour organising today. From diverse workers' organisations in South Africa to migrant worker resistance in the Gulf, from forest workers in the Czech Republic to domestic workers' unions in Hong Kong, this book brings together a wealth of lived experiences and hidden struggles for the first time. Just Work? proves that migrant workers are finding innovative ways of resisting exploitation and challenging neoliberal immigration measures, both within traditional labour orgnaisations and beyond."
