Les Memoires de Raymond Patoux sont uniques en leur genre : cinquante ans de militantisme libre et independant, representatif du syndicalisme de la Charte d'Amiens, avec un ideal libertaire toujours defendu contre le stalinisme et toute bureaucratie. Ce syndicalisme de la base, ancre en province, passant de la CGT a la CGTFO, apporte un temoignage de la vie militante durant la guerre, dans la Resistance, puis la Liberation, la scission de la CGT en 1947, jusque dans les annees 1990. Nous y rencontrons de Gaulle, Pablo Casals, Debre et surtout tant d'anonymes en quete, plus que jamais actuelle, de justice sociale. Un temoignage exceptionnel pour l'histoire de la vie politique francaise et l'histoire du syndicalisme.

The Shifting Ground of Globalization: Labor and Mineral Extraction at Vale S.A. describes the transformation of the formerly state-owned Brazilian mining company into a Transnational Corporation, global leader in iron ore and nickel extraction. Through ethnographic research in Brazil and Canada, in places as different as Carajás, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, and Sudbury, in northern Ontario, Thiago Aguiar dialogues with the theories of global capitalism and takes the case of the largest Latin American company as a telling example of the integration of the Brazilian economy into capitalist globalization and its consequences for workers, communities, and the environment in the first decades of the twenty-first century – when many celebrated the BRICS as an alternative to neoliberal globalization.

This text analyzes the economic and political forces behind the political marginalization of working-class organizations in the region. It traces the roots of labor exclusion to the geopolitics of the early postwar period when many governments rolled back the left and established labor control regimes that prevented the reemergence of working-class movements. The book also examines the economic and political dynamics that perpetuated labor's containment in some countries and that produced a resurgence of labor mobilization in others in the 21st century.

Relier une possible démocratie du travail à un possible internationalisme ouvrier est un défi. Citant E. Varlin (Première association internationale des travailleurs, 1868) pour lequel l'union ouvrière doit garantir la paix entre les nations, et s'appuyant ensuite sur des commentaires de Gramsci et de Simone Veil, entre autres, l'auteur questionne la possibilité de réalisation de l'injonction de Marx : « Prolétaires de tous les pays, unissez-vous ! ». Observant les handicaps de l'industrie (taylorisme, individualisme, fordisme) et les ressources du travail (émergence des biens communs, démocratie du travail, nouveau monde de gestion du travail, ancien et nouveau syndicalisme), ce texte plaide pour une démocratie du travail généralisée, capable d'assurer l'exercice d'une internationale ouvrière, « l'échange des enracinements ouvriers » (S. Veil) et in fine, la gestion durable de la planète.

Providing a Nordic historical perspective, this collection aims to further our understanding of trade union activism and its role in modern society. Contributions from a range of leading scholars analyse the organisational conditions of mobilisation that were deployed by Nordic unionists, and explore the way that they interacted with other forms of social and political protest during the twentieth century. Covering illegal or so-called wildcat strikes, blockades, demonstrations and other activist measures, the authors examine the way that trade union activism in the Nordic countries aimed to move the political combat zone from the meeting rooms of the respective confederations into the streets and the public domain. The collection focuses on cases from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, but comparisons are also made with countries such as Iceland, Germany, and the USA. Exploring the ways in which political parties have intervened in Nordic trade union activism since the early twentieth century, this unique collection offers new insights for those interested in labour market dynamics and the complex process behind the formation of salary and employment conditions.

"From the 1880s through the 1920s, American labor endured an ongoing assault on worker's rights by open shop campaigns organized by employers. Vilja Hulden delves into the decades-long effort to not only counter but discredit labor's attempts to exercise its own power. The employer-invented term closed shop was a potent rhetorical tool that shifted public opinion from concerns about inequality and dangerous working conditions to a belief that unions trampled an individual's right to work. As Hulden shows, employers used different methods to conduct closed-shop campaigns. Conciliators assumed a pose of benevolent cooperation while hardliners like the National Association of Manufacturers condemned the closed shop and used financial and social networks to lobby government, purchase newspaper space, and place sympathizers in politics. Employers did not always get what they wanted. But their superior ability to exercise power strengthened an anti-labor agenda that showed a remarkable consistency in its tactics and goals over a fifty-year period"--
