Críticas:

"Kim moody is one of the leading intellectuals of the labor movement. In this book he sweeps across the world to reveal exactly how class struggle between multinational capital and labor has shaped working conditions, capital mobility, state power, and the prospects for a visionary labor movement." - Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics and the Black Working Class "Of the many books we've seen on globalization, Workers in a Lean World presents the best analysis of how working people can respond strategically to the on-going transformation of capitalism." - Jeremy Brecher and Tim Costello, New Politics "This is an important addition to the literature on globalization and should be read by all union activists." - Laurie Clements, Labor Studies Journal "This is a very important study that deserves a wide audience." - Choice "An exceptional book..." - John Buell, The Progressive

Reseña del editor:

In this comprehensive study of current labor relations worldwide, Moody surveys both sides of the picket lines. He provides a measured assessment of multinational managements' strategies to downsize, introduce flexible production and compel workers to accept less pay for more work. He emphasizes the need, in the face of these changes, for international coordination among national unions and provides examples of where and how this had been achieved. A bracing riposte to conventional wisdom concerning the irresistible power of globalization, Labor in a Lean World is a definite account of contemporary labour relations on an international scale.
