Globalization has adversely affected working-class organization and mobilization, increasing inequality by redistribution upwards from labour to capital. However, workers around the world are challenging their increased exploitation by globalizing corporations. In developed countries, many unions are transforming themselves to confront employer power in ways more appropriate to contemporary circumstances; in developing countries, militant new labour movements are emerging. Drawing upon insights in anti-determinist Marxian perspectives, Verity Burgmann shows how working-class resistance is not futile, as protagonists of globalization often claim. She identifies eight characteristics of globalization harmful to workers and describes and analyses how they have responded collectively to these problems since 1990 and especially this century. With case studies from around the world, including Greece since 2008, she pays particular attention to new types of labour movement organization and mobilization that are not simply defensive reactions but are offensive and innovative responses that compel corporations or political institutions to change. Aging and less agile manifestations of the labour movement decline while new expressions of working-class organization and mobilization arise to better battle with corporate globalization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, globalization, political economy, Marxism and sociology of work.

The American dream of 'pulling yourself up by your bootstraps' is no longer possible, if it ever was. Most of us live paycheck-to-paycheck, and inequality has become one of the greatest problems facing our country. Working people and people of faith have the power to change this-but only when we get unified! In this practical and theological handbook for justice, renowned theologian Joerg Rieger and his wife, community and labor activist Rosemarie Henkel-Rieger, help the working majority (the 99% of us) understand what is happening and how we can make a difference. Discover how our faith is deeply connected with our work. Find out how to organize people and build power and what our different faith traditions can contribute. Learn from case studies where these principles have been used successfully-and how we can use them. Develop 'deep solidarity' as a way to forge unity while employing our differences for the common good.

Aujourd’hui, le concept de compétences ne renvoie pas uniquement aux compétences cognitives acquises dans le cadre institutionnel, mais également à des compétences plus relationnelles – telles que la capacité à communiquer et à travailler en équipe – acquises tout au long de la vie et essentielles pour la réussite sur le marché du travail. La série des Études de l’OCDE sur les compétences vise à aider les pays dans l’élaboration de leurs politiques sur les compétences afin de promouvoir la productivité, l’innovation et la croissance inclusive. Elle présente des indicateurs comparables au niveau international et des analyses stratégiques sur tout un ensemble de thèmes, dont : la qualité de l’enseignement et des programmes scolaires ; la transition entre les études et le monde du travail ; l’éducation et la formation professionnelle (EFP) ; l’emploi et le chômage ; l’innovation dans le domaine de l’apprentissage sur le lieu de travail ; l’entrepreneuriat ; la fuite des cerveaux et les migrants ; et l’adéquation entre les compétences et les exigences professionnelles.
