Description

The future of unions in the United States is a hotly contested matter. While different commentators reach different conclusions, all agree that public policy will be of vital importance to the union movement. The present volume considers a wide range of policy questions, analysed by a variey of experts in the field, and is organised in four parts: a brief introduction considering the current policy climate for unions; policy and the new workplace; labour and economic issues; and, finally, political strategy and democratic politics. This work should be of interest to scholars and policymakers in labour studies, labour economics, labour law and industrial organisation.
