| Zusammenfassung: | News about labor unions is usually pessimistic, focusing on declining membership and failed campaigns. But there are encouraging signs that the labor movement is evolving its strategies to benefit workers in rapidly changing global economic conditions. Global Unions, Local Power tells the story of the most successful and aggressive campaign ever waged by workers across national borders. It begins in the United States in 2007 as SEIU struggled to organize private security guards at G4S, a global security services company that is the second largest employer in the world. Failing in its bid, SEIU changed course and sought allies in other countries in which G4S operated. Its efforts resulted in wage gains, benefits increases, new union formations, and an end to management reprisals in many countries throughout the Global South, though close attention is focused on developments in South Africa and India. In this book, Jamie K. McCallum looks beyond these achievements to probe the meaning of some of the less visible aspects of the campaign. Based on more than two years of fieldwork in nine countries and historical research into labor movement trends since the late 1960s, McCallum's findings reveal several paradoxes. Although global unionism is typically concerned with creating parity and universal standards across borders, local context can both undermine and empower the intentions of global actors, creating varied and uneven results. At the same time, despite being generally regarded as weaker than their European counterparts, U.S. unions are in the process of remaking the global labor movement in their own image. McCallum suggests that changes in political economy have encouraged unions to develop new ways to organize workers. He calls these "governance struggles," strategies that seek not to win worker rights but to make new rules of engagement with capital in order to establish a different terrain on which to organize. |

But there are encouraging signs that the labor movement is evolving its strategies to benefit workers in rapidly changing global economic conditions. Global Unions, Local Power tells the story of the most successful and aggressive campaign ever waged by workers across national borders. It begins in the United States in 2007 as SEIU struggled to organize private security guards at G4S, a global security services company that is the second largest employer in the world. Failing in its bid, SEIU changed course and sought allies in other countries in which G4S operated. Its efforts resulted in wage gains, benefits increases, new union formations, and an end to management reprisals in many countries throughout the Global South, though close attention is focused on developments in South Africa and India. In this book, Jamie K. McCallum looks beyond these achievements to probe the meaning of some of the less visible aspects of the campaign. Based on more than two years of fieldwork in nine countries and historical research into labor movement trends since the late 1960s, McCallum's findings reveal several paradoxes. Although global unionism is typically concerned with creating parity and universal standards across borders, local context can both undermine and empower the intentions of global actors, creating varied and uneven results. At the same time, despite being generally regarded as weaker than their European counterparts, U.S. unions are in the process of remaking the global labor movement in their own image. McCallum suggests that changes in political economy have encouraged unions to develop new ways to organize workers. He calls these "governance struggles," strategies that seek not to win worker rights but to make new rules of engagement with capital in order to establish a different terrain on which to organize.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">In English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">International labor activities.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85067413</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Labor and globalization.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2012000571</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Labor movement</subfield><subfield code="x">International cooperation.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Transnationalism.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00009276</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Travailleurs</subfield><subfield code="x">Activités internationales.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Travail et mondialisation.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Mouvement ouvrier</subfield><subfield code="x">Coopération internationale.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Transnationalisme.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Labor.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">POLITICAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Labor & Industrial Relations.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Sociology</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">International labor activities</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Labor and globalization</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Transnationalism</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Globalisierung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4557997-0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Internationale Arbeiterbewegung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4120502-9</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Gewerkschaftsbewegung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4332196-3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Transnationale Politik</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/7595654-8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Fackliga organisationer.</subfield><subfield code="2">sao</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Globalisering.</subfield><subfield code="2">sao</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Internationellt samarbete.</subfield><subfield code="2">sao</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Transnationalisering.</subfield><subfield code="2">sao</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Global unions, local power (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGqh3tBPV3w6YxTtQRt8BX</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Title is part of the collection:</subfield><subfield code="d">De Gruyter</subfield><subfield code="t">Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Global unions, local power.</subfield><subfield code="d">Ithaca ;

Forging the new labor transnationalism : governance struggles and worker power -- The globalization of the "organizing model" -- The global campaign against G4S : globalizing governance struggles -- Transnationalism, mobilization, and renewal in South Africa -- Organizing the "unorganized" : varieties of labor transnationalism in India. Print version record. News about labor unions is usually pessimistic, focusing on declining membership and failed campaigns. But there are encouraging signs that the labor movement is evolving its strategies to benefit workers in rapidly changing global economic conditions. Global Unions, Local Power tells the story of the most successful and aggressive campaign ever waged by workers across national borders. It begins in the United States in 2007 as SEIU struggled to organize private security guards at G4S, a global security services company that is the second largest employer in the world. Failing in its bid, SEIU changed course and sought allies in other countries in which G4S operated. Its efforts resulted in wage gains, benefits increases, new union formations, and an end to management reprisals in many countries throughout the Global South, though close attention is focused on developments in South Africa and India. In this book, Jamie K. McCallum looks beyond these achievements to probe the meaning of some of the less visible aspects of the campaign. Based on more than two years of fieldwork in nine countries and historical research into labor movement trends since the late 1960s, McCallum's findings reveal several paradoxes. Although global unionism is typically concerned with creating parity and universal standards across borders, local context can both undermine and empower the intentions of global actors, creating varied and uneven results. At the same time, despite being generally regarded as weaker than their European counterparts, U.S. unions are in the process of remaking the global labor movement in their own image. McCallum suggests that changes in political economy have encouraged unions to develop new ways to organize workers. He calls these "governance struggles," strategies that seek not to win worker rights but to make new rules of engagement with capital in order to establish a different terrain on which to organize.
