Power, Politics and Influence at Work

'The authors have provided an important contribution to the crucial debates of our time: what is happening to workers in our rapidly transforming world of work; and more importantly, what can be done to move it in the right direction so that we steer digital, climate and demographic transitions towards decent work for all.' Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization 'In today's globalised world corporations have been able to reorganise work in ways that transfers risk away from capital and onto working people. The result is more inequality, more insecure work and persistently low wage growth. This book is a welcome and accessible contribution to understanding what's happening and examines pathways for unions and collective action to swing the pendulum back towards working people.' Sally McManus, Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions 'Written explicitly for activists and those with a commitment to the labour movement, this valuable book provides a concise guide to the challenges facing trade unions and the strategies they can use to improve the experience of work. Power, Politics and Influence at Work is bang-up-to-date, well-informed, clearly written and provocative. It is an essential resource for all those seeking to build power for working people.' Edmund Heery, Professor of Employment Relations, Cardiff University -- .
