Wunnava. This book, which consists of papers presented at the 2002 Annual Conference on Economic Issues, is typical of the genre in that it contains estimates of lost membership and economic influence and some novel ways of examining their causes; a case study of successful organizing under the most difficult conditions; a historical review of union decline; and discussions of what workers want. Although the research is technically sophisticated and often groundbreaking, the book never becomes more than a collection of fine chapters, and lacks any sense of connecting threads, overarching themes, or consensus for change. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
