Download or read book Transnational Trade Unionism written by Peter Fairbrother and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational trade union action has expanded significantly over the last few decades and has taken a variety of shapes and trajectories. This book is concerned with understanding the spatial extension of trade union action, and in particular the development of new forms of collective mobilization, network-building, and forms of regulation that bridge local and transnational issues. Through the work of leading international specialists, this collection of essays examines the process and dynamic of transnational trade union action and provides analytical and conceptual tools to understand these developments. The research presented here emphasizes that the direction of transnational solidarity remains contested, subject to experimentation and negotiation, and includes studies of often overlooked developments in transition and developing countries with original analyses from the European Union and NAFTA areas. Providing a fresh examination of transnational solidarity, this volume offers neither a romantic or overly optimistic narrative of a borderless unionism, nor does it fall into a fatalistic or pessimistic account of international union solidarity. Through original research conducted at different levels, this book disentangles the processes and dynamics of institution building and challenges the conventional national based forms of unionism that prevailed in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the account of trade union representatives from the mining sector in Ghana and Mexico, this paper offers a re-reading of the debate on transnational unionism between developing global coalitions and local networks. Trade union strategies are captured under three analytical fields: spaces of transnational unionism, modes of interaction, and frames of reference. The paper's objective is to understand how national trade unions articulate the local and the global, and identify the factors that push and pull them into the transnational space. While trade unions in both countries have undergone a process of union renewal, their transnational strategy differs: Ghanaians are engaged in capacity building and Mexicans in coalition building. Strategies of transnational unionism are shaped by national contingencies. First, the Ghanaian trade union intervenes mainly at the African regional level through education and training programs for the rank and file, while the Mexican trade union is present at both the North-American regional and transnational levels, particularly through solidarity campaigns. Second, while Ghanaians maintain weak ties with other trade unions, the Mexicans are engaged in a wide repertoire of action with the North-American trade unions and international federations. Third, Ghanaians conceive their interests on the basis of a strong clan-based identity and see transnational unionism as a mean to increase their resources, while Mexicans build broader coalitions based upon class identity. In both cases, strategies of transnational unionism go beyond the dichotomy of the local and the global. They are socially constructed, locally embedded and are shaped by the dynamics of the political economy in which the trade unions are rooted and the supranational structures of opportunity available to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Secretary General of the ICF and previously Assistant General Secretary of the IMF, Charles Levinson played an important part in developing the countervailing labour response to the multinational corporations. His earlier work, Capital, Inflation and the Multinationals (Routledge Revivals, 2013) displayed the force of his insight into the dynamics of modern economics and technology. First published in 1972, this book considers the opportunities which allow unions to command an increasing share in decisions that shape the worker's destiny. Chapters include discussions on the multinational corporations, industrial democracy and the ideas behind collective bargaining.

Book excerpt: Greening Auto Jobs: A Critical Analysis of the Green Job Solution details current and problematic understandings of what constitutes a "green job." Adopting an approach grounded in critical political economy, this book presents a framework to scrutinize the green job solution and the theoretical framework which overwhelmingly informs contemporary green job creation efforts and ecological modernization. The text also explores the tensions that encircle the world of work and environmental action, often referred to as "jobs versus the environment," by detailing the conflicting commitments of political-economic actors to the idea of green job creation. These conflicts are outlined through an examination of the political-economic debate that has surrounded the Australian Government’s environmental plans from 2008 to 2012 and the conflicting positions of Australian trade unions on environmentally transitioning the world of work. Interviews with key political-economic actors provide in-depth and nuanced understandings of the varied perspectives of political and union leaders in Australia. The second part of the book presents a detailed case study of the posited green job solution within the specific context of the Australian automotive manufacturing industry. The case study is also informed by interviews with key industry, union, and policymakers. The automotive industry is scrutinized not only because it has expressed going green as important to its long-term economic future, but because the Australian Government declared that its $6.2 billion "New Car Plan for a Greener Future" policy would create green jobs. Therefore, the book engages with the task of examining the three multinational vehicle producers operating in Australia—Ford, GM Holden, and Toyota—and how they have responded and engaged with the idea of green jobs, greening the manufacturing process, and the vehicles they produce in Australia.

Download or read book International Labour and the Origins of the Cold War written by Denis MacShane and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of the role of industrial unions in the launch of the Cold War in the 1940s. Using unpublished archival material from Europe and America, Denis MacShane challenges existing interpretations of international labour's role in the Cold War, arguing that European traditions and political differences were more important than American interventions in determining labour's attitudes to international problems after 1945. Existing interpretations which focus on national confederations such as the TUC in Britain or the AFL in America treat the question of labour and the Cold War as a political and diplomatic quarrel. Dr. MacShane revises the view that the TUC shaped post-war trade union structures in West Germany, or that any TUC blueprint existed for German industrial trade unionism after 1945. In particular he examines trade unions in the engineering, steel, car, and metal industries who were at the peak of their power, size, and influence in 1945. Their productionist philosophy, which was powerfully tapped by the Marshall Plan, is examined to show why Leninist and Stalinist forms of trade union organization were rejected after 1945. This book blends archival research, contemporary accounts, and interviews from Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Switzerland to present a fascinating narrative of labour internationalism in the first half of the twentieth century, as well as a challenging thesis which will alter existing historical perceptions of the role of labour in the politically-charged years between 1945 and 1948 when the Cold War got under way.
