| Summary: | "The contributors to this important volume provide case studies of new labor market institutions and new directions for existing institutions. They examine the behavior and impact of new organizations that have formed to solve workplace problems and to bolster the position of workers, and they document how unions are seeking new strategies to maintain their role in the economic system. Their evidence suggests that while non-union institutions are unlikely to fill the gap left by the decline of unions, emerging groups and unions might together improve some dimensions of worker well-being. Emerging Labor Market Institutions for the Twenty-First Century ultimately tells a story of workers and institutions in flux, searching for ways to represent labor in the new century and its attendant new economies."--BOOK JACKET. |
