The Most Difficult Revolution: Women and Trade Unions
Over half the women in the United States are now employed outside the home, and the proportions are comparable in many European countries.

| Zusammenfassung: | Over half the women in the United States are now employed outside the home, and the proportions are comparable in many European countries. Yet nowhere has this revolution in the composition of the labor force been followed by the triumph of a more difficult revolution-the struggle for full equality in the rights and roles of women. Building upon research begun by the late Val R. Lorwin and Alice H. Cook, Cook and Arlene Kaplan Daniels survey recent efforts of trade unions in Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Great Britain to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace. In identifying the successes and setbacks of the European experience, the authors consider the implications for change in the agendas of American unions. Cook and Daniels show how unions in the countries studied have promoted women's equality through the channels of internal policy, collective bargaining, and political influence. They provide rich cross-cultural comparisons of patterns of government involvement, the extent of women's participation in the unions, education of women for union leadership, access to vocational training, pay equity, the conditions of part-time work, and workplace health and safety concerns. The Most Difficult Revolution will be a vital resource for comparatists in the fields of women's studies, labor studies, political science, anthropology, sociology, and economics |

Daniels Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2019] © 1992 1 online resource (312 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 26. Nov 2019) Over half the women in the United States are now employed outside the home, and the proportions are comparable in many European countries. Yet nowhere has this revolution in the composition of the labor force been followed by the triumph of a more difficult revolution-the struggle for full equality in the rights and roles of women. Building upon research begun by the late Val R. Lorwin and Alice H. Cook, Cook and Arlene Kaplan Daniels survey recent efforts of trade unions in Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Great Britain to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace. In identifying the successes and setbacks of the European experience, the authors consider the implications for change in the agendas of American unions. Cook and Daniels show how unions in the countries studied have promoted women's equality through the channels of internal policy, collective bargaining, and political influence. They provide rich cross-cultural comparisons of patterns of government involvement, the extent of women's participation in the unions, education of women for union leadership, access to vocational training, pay equity, the conditions of part-time work, and workplace health and safety concerns. The Most Difficult Revolution will be a vital resource for comparatists in the fields of women's studies, labor studies, political science, anthropology, sociology, and economics In English Geschichte 1945-1992 gnd rswk-swf Womens Studies POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations bisacsh Frauenarbeit (DE-588)4018210-1 gnd rswk-swf Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 gnd rswk-swf Gewerkschaft (DE-588)4020872-2 gnd rswk-swf Gewerkschaftspolitik (DE-588)4020889-8 gnd rswk-swf Internationaler Vergleich (DE-588)4120509-1 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitnehmerin (DE-588)4142874-2 gnd rswk-swf Westeuropa (DE-588)4079215-8 gnd rswk-swf Westeuropa (DE-588)4079215-8 g Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 s Gewerkschaft (DE-588)4020872-2 s Geschichte 1945-1992 z 1\p DE-604 Gewerkschaftspolitik (DE-588)4020889-8 s Frauenarbeit (DE-588)4018210-1 s Internationaler Vergleich (DE-588)4120509-1 s 2\p DE-604 Arbeitnehmerin (DE-588)4142874-2 s 3\p DE-604 Daniels, Arlene K. aut aut Lorwin, Val R. aut aut https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501735745 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
