This feminist analysis of union renewal strategies suggests that equity is the way to reposition organized labour as a central institution in workers' lives. |
| Synopsis: |
Trade unions in Canada are losing their traditional support base,and membership numbers could sink to US levels unless unions recapturetheir power. Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewaldemonstrates that equity within unions is not simply one possiblesolution - it is the path to union renewal.A distinguished group of union activists and equity scholars explorehow traditional union cultures, practices, and structures have erodedsolidarity and activism and created an equity deficit in Canadianunions. Informed by a feminist vision of unions as instruments ofsocial justice, the authors discuss the types of changes needed toreposition organized labour as a central institution in workers'lives.This volume highlights the central role that equity issues shouldplay in debates on union renewal. It is mandatory reading for anyoneinterested in the future of labour and unions in Canada and abroad. |
