Tells the story of immigrants labour struggles, examining how unions can learn from their example, and explaining their activism in the face of terrific odds
In recent years, New Yorkers have been surprised to see workers they had taken for granted-Mexicans in greengroceries, West African supermarket deliverymen and South Asian blackcar drivers-striking, picketing and asking their support for better working conditions. Before their eyes the economy of New York, and the nation, had changed as businesses became dependent on low-paid immigrants to fill the entry-level jobs that few native-born Americans would take. Parallel Unionism tells the story of these workers' struggle for equality and respect, how they came to find the courage to organize labor actions at a time when most laborers have become quiescent, and while most labor unions were ignoring them. Showing how unions can learn from the example of these laborers, and demonstrating the importance of solidarity beyond the workplace, the book offers a telling look into the lives of some of America's newest immigrants.
"Together, these three cases studies form a coherent and successful project. Ness integrates a clear theoretical perspective on the impact of global capitalism on workers with a detailed analysis of the efforts made by these workers to transform their conditions of work, and their lives." Mobilization
"The book is a sympathetic and informative treatment of a controversial subject. Recommended." Choice
"A fine new book...the book's case studies are terrific....this is what good books do...They provoke dialogue and debate." New Labor Forum
"Professor Ness' book is rich in descriptive detail, effective in the use of the three case studies, and superb in its narrative style and social analysis. This book is solid and will definitively be one of the best books written on labor politics and urban political economy this year." Héctor Cordero-Guzmán and James DeFilippis
