Beschreibung
The world of work is transforming rapidly and threatens to erode hard-earned rights of working people. The international labour movement has seen it before. In fact, countless times has it been in the midst of the struggle for democracy, peace, inclusion and equality. »The Story of Our International Labour Movement« traces back the origins, organisations and campaigns of workers’ organisations worldwide and how they have cooperated across borders. By taking a look inside and emphasizing the democratic nature of labour, Daniel Edmonds allows for a deep and global insight into a movement that has been the first and often last resistance of workers and continues to shape under which conditions we work today and tomorrow.
