It's just moving from the bargaining table to the streets. In \u003ci\u003eA New American Labor Movement\u003c\/i\u003e, William Scheuerman analyzes how the decline of unions and the emergence of these new direct-action movements are reshaping the American labor movement. Tens of thousands of exploited workers-from farm laborers and gig drivers to freelance artists and restaurant workers-have taken to the streets in a collective attempt to attain a living wage and decent working conditions, with or without the help of unions. This new worker militancy, expressed through mass demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins, political action, and similar activities, has already achieved much success and offers models for workers to exercise their power in the twenty-first century. Finally, Scheuerman notes, many of the strategies of the new direct-action groups share features with the sectoral bargaining model that dominates the European labor movement, suggesting that sectoral bargaining may become the foundation of a new American labor movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46449856544919,"sku":"9781438485492","price":9934.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781438485492.webp?v=1769148176","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-new-american-labor-movement-the-decline-of-collective-bargaining-and-the-rise-of-direct-action-9781438485492","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
