Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The labour movement in Lebanon: Power on hold narrates the history of the Lebanese labour movement from the early twentieth century to today. Bou Khater demonstrates that trade unionism in the country has largely been a failure, for reasons including state interference, tactical co-optation, and the strategic use of sectarianism by an oligarchic elite, together with the structural weakness of a service-based laissez-faire economy. Drawing on a vast body of Arabic-language primary sources and difficult-to-access archives, the book’s conclusions are significant not only for trade unionism, but also for new forms of workers’ organisations and social movements in Lebanon and beyond. The Lebanese case study presented here holds significant implications for the wider Arab world and for comparative studies of labour. This authoritative history of the labour movement in Lebanon is vital reading for scholars of trade unionism, Lebanese politics, and political economy.

Book excerpt: This study aims at assessing the effectiveness and adaptability of labor movemen t in face of the constraining environments in postwar Lebanon. Labor movement in Lebanon is represented by the General Confederation of Labor known as CGTL (Con federation Generale du Travail au Liban). Since its inception, this organization had its own dysfunctions such as low union density, unrepresentative internal s tructure and periodical internal divisions that accompanied it through different historical periods. Despite these anomalies, the CGTL was able throughout its h istory to preserve certain autonomy from the state and to achieve tangible gains for workers. Yet, this effectiveness was drained gradually in postwar period an d this ironically coincided with the rebuilding and consolidation of the State. Compared with both prewar and war times, the CGTL in postwar period suffered fro m unprecedented problems emanating to a large extent from the practices of the p ostwar political establishment and to a lesser extent from the economic context. This thesis addresses this interaction between the political consisting of the quasi-authoritarian practices of the state which aimed at containing the labor m ovement and the economic consisting of a neo liberal economic project which does not accept labor organizations as partners in development. The thesis also trie s to study the reaction of the CGTL to this constraining environment. For this a im, a historical comparative method will be adopted. A comparative overview of t he changing roles of unions in developed and developing countries will guide our study on the changing roles and effectiveness of labor movement in postwar Leba non compared to war and prewar times.

Download or read book Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement written by William E. Forbath and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

Download or read book City of Workers City of Struggle written by Joshua B. Freeman and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the founding of New Amsterdam until today, working people have helped create and re-create the City of New York through their struggles. Starting with artisans and slaves in colonial New York and ranging all the way to twenty-first-century gig-economy workers, this book tells the story of New York’s labor history anew. City of Workers, City of Struggle brings together essays by leading historians of New York and a wealth of illustrations, offering rich descriptions of work, daily life, and political struggle. It recounts how workers have developed formal and informal groups not only to advance their own interests but also to pursue a vision of what the city should be like and whom it should be for. The book goes beyond the largely white, male wage workers in mainstream labor organizations who have dominated the history of labor movements to look at enslaved people, indentured servants, domestic workers, sex workers, day laborers, and others who have had to fight not only their masters and employers but also labor groups that often excluded them. Through their stories—how they fought for inclusion or developed their own ways to advance—it recenters labor history for contemporary struggles. City of Workers, City of Struggle offers the definitive account of the four-hundred-year history of efforts by New York workers to improve their lives and their communities. In association with the exhibition City of Workers, City of Struggle: How Labor Movements Changed New York at the Museum of the City of New York

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Labor and Democracy written by Angela B. Cornell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are currently witnessing some of the greatest challenges to democratic regimes since the 1930s, with democratic institutions losing ground in numerous countries throughout the world. At the same time organized labor has been under assault worldwide, with steep declines in union density rates. In this timely handbook, scholars in law, political science, history, and sociology explore the role of organized labor and the working class in the historical construction of democracy. They analyze recent patterns of democratic erosion, examining its relationship to the political weakening of organized labor and, in several cases, the political alliances forged by workers in contexts of nationalist or populist political mobilization. The volume breaks new ground in providing cross-regional perspectives on labor and democracy in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Beyond academia, this volume is essential reading for policymakers and practitioners concerned with the relationship between labor and democracy.
