Description

Troublemaking: Why You Should Organize Your Workplace is a collection of lessons from around the world on the power of workplace organizing. Drawing on years of conversations with workers in Britain, the US, India, Argentina, South Africa, Brazil, and Europe, Lydia Hughes and Jamie Woodcock identify key principles for building a movement. The authors argue that action, democracy, and union-building are essential to creating lasting change. They share stories of struggles like The Water Wars in Bolivia, where organizing at work can have far-reaching consequences beyond the workplace. This book is not a "how-to" guide, but rather a set of principles for the politics of organizing. By exploring these principles, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of workplace organizing and its potential to build a more just world.
