The Anatomy of Labor

In a rapidly changing world of work, labor movements are facing unprecedented challenges. Globalization, technological change, and the erosion of labor laws have all contributed to a decline in union membership and a weakening of workers' bargaining power. Yet, despite these challenges, there are also signs of hope for the future of labor. A new generation of activists is using social media and other online tools to organize and mobilize workers, and they are winning victories on issues such as wages, benefits, and working conditions.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of labor movements in the 21st century. It explores the challenges and opportunities facing labor movements today, and it offers recommendations for how labor movements can adapt to the changing world of work. The book also provides case studies of successful labor movements from around the world, including the Fight for Fifteen movement in the United States, the resurgence of labor unions in South Korea, and the migrant worker movement in Qatar.
