"Work is widely thought to have become more precarious. Many people feel that unions
represent the interests of protected workers in good jobs at the expense of workers
with insecure employment, low pay, and less generous benefits. Reconstructing Solidarity:
Labour Unions, Precarious Work, and the Politics of Institutional Change in Europe
argues the opposite: that unions try to represent precarious workers using a variety
of creative campaigning and organizational tactics. Where unions can limit employers'
ability to 'exit' labour market institutions and collective agreements and build solidarity
across different groups of workers, this results in a virtuous circle, establishing
union control over the labour market. Where they fail to do so, it sets in motion
a vicious circle of expanding precarity based on institutional evasion by employers.
Exploring the struggle of the unions against the expansion of precarious work in Europe,
Reconstructing Solidarity explains the importance of how unions build, or fail to
build, inclusive worker solidarity. It uses a diverse range of comparative case studies
to describe the struggles of workers and unions in industries such as local government,
music, metalworking, chemicals, meat-packing, and logistics, to argue against the
thesis that unions act primarily to protect labour market insiders at the expense
of outsiders"
