Description
Stephanie Luce examines the role of labor unions in the global economy, exploring their potential sources of power and emerging strategies for growth. Despite challenges, she argues that unions remain vital to raising wages and improving work conditions. The decline of union power is a pressing issue, with many workers belonging to unions fewer than 12 percent of U.S. workers. Luce assesses the factors contributing to this decline and presents new directions for global labor movements, including worker centers, informal sector organizations, and worker co-operatives. This book provides a critical evaluation of labor unions in both the U.S. and globally, shedding light on their relevance in today's economy.
