Reviews / Votes
'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
'This new book on work and employment does what it says in the title and puts power, politics and influence at the heart of the analysis of changing employment relations. This is a welcome antidote to the often depoliticised actions of labour market change as the inevitable consequence of unstoppable forces of globalisation or new technologies. This is a book that should be read not only by students and academics but also by labour activists and trade union representatives as it has a two-fold ambition, first to develop a more politically-informed understanding of changing employment relations but second to offer insights into how to try to shape a better future for labour through new political strategies, new alliances and new forms of collectivism.'
Jill Rubery, Professor of Comparative Employment Systems, University of Manchester
'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 -- .

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
