Unions in the 21st Century: An International Perspective

by T. Kochan, A. Verma (Editor)

Unions have been among the most salient symbols of pluralism in modern democratic nations. Yet now their influence is waning. What are the reasons for this decline? What, if anything, can unions do to stop the downward trend? And should we care if unions decline? This book contains papers drawn from a variety of countries, which consider the future of unions as a labor and social movement. The focus is truly international and the contributors are all distinguished scholars.
