Unions and Workplace Reorganization - Softcover

Unions and Workplace Reorganization critically reviews trends in workplace reorganization and develops perspectives on how unions should respond to these trends. Wide in scope, the eleven essays in this collection evaluate and react to the AFL-CIO's 1994 policy statement "The New American Workplace: A Labor Perspective," which is included as a chapter in this volume and is treated as the official position of the U.S. labor movement. Presenting divergent viewpoints and analyses, the contributors discuss the main stances debated or adopted by unions struggling with workplace change.

The very fate of unions in this country may depend on their ability to deal effectively with the challenge of workplace restructuring; thus, Unions and Workplace Reorganization addresses many of the most important issues currently facing the U.S. labor movement.
