Trade Unions in Renewal: A Comparative Study
Title
Trade Unions in Renewal: A Comparative Study
Description
Trade Unions in Renewal brings together a series of studies of union renewal from five different countries - the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Canada. Although unions in the five countries have all been influenced by recent debates surrounding the organising model, several unions and the five national federations have charted their own course of renewal. These range from internal union democratisation and membership mobilization to new partnership models with employers and governments.
The contributors to this volume are among the leading researchers and commentators on trade unions in their countries. The introduction offers a rare comparative analysis of convergence and divergence in union renewal strategies across these five countries, while the separate chapters offer a penetrating, critical analysis of union renewal strategies and pose some difficult questions about the likely success of unions as they try to regroup.
