Migrant Organising
Community Unionism, Solidarity and Bricolage
Series: - International Comparative Social Studies, Volume: 54
In Migrant Organising: Community Unionism, Solidarity and Bricolage, Emma MartÃn-DÃaz and Beltrán Roca explore recent developments in community unionism and solidarity networks among migrant workers in a post-Fordist context characterised by transnationalism and global chains.
The contributions in this edited book describe different types of trade union strategies toward migrant workers and the rise of solidarity and bricolage initiatives in situations in which conventional union organising cannot succeed. Cases from Germany, Spain, Italy and Argentina reveal that the transformation of work, the rise of global chains and the intensification of international migrations are the basis of new forms of union and extra-union intervention.
Contributors include: Beltrán Roca, Emma MartÃn-DÃaz, Simone Castellani, Mark Bergfeld, Juan Pablo Aris-Escarcena, Giulia Borraccino, Paula Dinorah Salgado, Alicia Reigada, Giuseppe DâOnofrio and Jon Las Heras.
