<br><br>Bureaucratic labor unions are under assault throughout the world. Most unions<br>
have surrendered the achievements of the mid-twentieth century, when the working<br>class was a militant force for change throughout the world. The decline of<br>labor unions has exposed workers throughout the world to capitalist absolutism,<br>
where trade unions are unable to defend workers’ interests.<br>As unions implode and weaken, workers are independently forming their own<br>unions, rooted in the tradition of syndicalism and autonomism—and unions<br>rooted in the tradition of self-directed action are auguring a new period of class<br>
struggle throughout the world. In Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, workers<br>are rejecting leaders and forming authentic class-struggle unions rooted in<br>sabotage, direct action, and striking to achieve concrete gains.<br>
This is the first book to compile workers struggles on a global basis, examining<br>the formation and expansion of radical unions in the Global South and Global<br>North. The tangible evidence marshaled in this book serves as a handbook for understanding<br>
the formidable obstacles and concrete opportunities for workers challenging<br>neoliberal capitalism, even as the unions of the old decline and disappear.<br>Contributors include Au Loong-Yu, Bai Ruixue, Arup K. Sen, Shawn Hattingh,<br>
Piotr Bizyukov and Irina Olimpieva, Genese M. Sodikoff, Aviva Chomsky, Dario<br>Bursztyn, Gabriel Kuhn, Erik Forman, Steven Manicastri, and Jack Kirkpatrick.<br>ABOUT THE EDITOR<br>Immanuel Ness is a political economist who specializes in labor unions and<br>
professor of Political Science at City University of New York. He is editor of<br>WorkingUSA: The Journal of Labor and Society and author of numerous works<br>including Guest Workers and Resistance to U.S. Corporate Despotism. He was a<br>
worker and union organizer in the food, maintenance, and publishing industries.<br>ABOUT STAUGHTON LYND<br>Staughton Lynd taught American history at Spelman College and Yale University.<br>He was director of Freedom Schools in the <a href="tel:1964" value="+661964" target="_blank">1964</a> Mississippi Freedom Summer. An<br>
early leader of the movement against the Vietnam War, he was blacklisted and<br>unable to continue as an academic. He then became a lawyer, and in this capacity<br>has assisted rank-and-file workers and prisoners for the past thirty years. He<br>
has written, edited, or coedited with his wife Alice Lynd more than a dozen books.<br>ACCOLADES<br>“As the U.S. labor movement conducts its latest, frantic search for ‘new ideas,’<br>there is no better source of radical thinking on improved modes of union<br>
functioning than the diverse contributors to this timely collection. New Forms<br>of Worker Organization vividly describes what workers in Africa, Asia, South<br>America, and Europe have done to make their unions more effective. Let’s<br>
hope that these compelling case studies of rank-and-file struggle and bottom<br>up change lead to more of the same where it’s needed the most, among those<br>of us ‘born in the USA!’”<br>—Steve Early, former organizer for the Communications Workers of America<br>
