Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Re-Union by David Madland "The central argument of this book is that stronger unions operating under a new type of labor system could help address Americas underlying economic and political challenges. The new system would be built around two central ideas: active policy support for unions and broad-based collective bargaining"--]cProvided by publisher. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Re-Union, David Madland explores how labor unions are essential to all workers. Yet, union systems are badly flawed and in need of rapid changes for reform. Madlands multilayered analysis presents a solution-a model to replace the existing firm-based collective bargaining with a larger, industry-scale bargaining method coupled with powerful incentives for union membership.These changes would represent a remarkable shift from the norm, but would be based on lessons from other countries, US history and current policy in several cities and states. In outlining the shift, Madland details how these proposals might mend the broken economic and political systems in the United States. He also uses three examples from Britain, Canada, and Australia to explore what there is yet to learn about this new system in other developed nations. Madlands practical advice in Re-Union extends to a proposal for how to implement the changes necessary to shift the current paradigm. This powerful call to action speaks directly to the workers affected by these policies-the very people seeking to have their voices recognized in a system that attempts to silence them.

To support this idea, he provides numerous examples. Anyone who is interested in how theory and practice interact should not miss out on this book. * ILR Review *David Madlands exquisitely argued new book does not merely rehearse facts that we already know. Instead, it makes a bold, plausible, and sensible proposal about how to revive the fortunes of trade unions in the USA, and, in fact, globally. * Transfer * Long Description In Re-Union, David Madland explores how labor unions are essential to all workers.
