Abstract

In early 2011, the nation was stunned to watch Wisconsin's state capitol in Madison come under sudden and unexpected occupation by union members and their allies. The protests to defend collective bargaining rights were militant and practically unheard of in this era of declining union power. Nearly forty years of neoliberalism and the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression have battered the labor movement, and workers have been largely complacent in the face of stagnant wages, slashed benefits and services, widening unemployment, and growing inequality. That is, until now.

Abstract

Warum untergruben die Verteilungskämpfe das Fundament der Weimarer Demokratie, während in der späten französischen Dritten Republik die industriellen Beziehungen erst 1936 zu einem Politikum ersten Ranges wurden? Warum waren in Deutschland Sozialstaat und Demokratie unzertrennbar miteinander verbunden, während in Frankreich der Sozialstaat mehr Gegner als Befürworter hatte? Petra Weber geht diesen Fragen nach, indem sie die Reaktion der Arbeitgeberverbände und Gewerkschaften, der Arbeitnehmer und des Staates auf die Umbrüche der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit, die inflationäre Entwicklung, den Ausbau des Sozialstaates und die Weltwirtschaftskrise untersucht. In ihrer vergleichenden Analyse zeichnet die Autorin ein facettenreiches Panorama der Entwicklung der Arbeiterbewegung, der Lebensweise und Kampfbereitschaft der Arbeiter, der innerbetrieblichen Auseinandersetzungen sowie des Selbstverständnisses, der Mentalität und politischen Einstellung der Arbeitgeber.

Abstract

The Polish crisis in the early 1980's provoked a great deal of reaction in the West. Not only governments, but social movements were also touched by the changes. This book analyzes Western European social reaction to the Independent Self-governing Trade Union Solidarnosc, Revealing how many unionists hesitated between détente and workers' rights, between Atlantic cold warriors and European cooperation. It provides new insights relevant to historians dealing with the Cold War, Labor, and European integration.

Abstract

Africa's Informal Workers is a vigorous examination of the informalization and casualization of work, which is changing livelihoods in Africa and beyond. Gathering cases from nine countries and cities across sub-Saharan Africa, and from a range of sectors, this volume goes beyond the usual focus on household 'coping strategies' and individual agency, addressing the growing number of collective organizations through which informal workers make themselves visible and articulate their demands and interests. The emerging picture is that of a highly diverse landscape of organized actors, providing grounds for tension but also opportunities for alliance. The collection examines attempts at organizing across the formal-informal work spheres, and explores the novel trend of transnational organizing by informal workers. Part of the ground-breaking Africa Now series, Africa's Informal Workers is a timely exploration of deep, ongoing economic, political and social transformations.
