Inhaltsangabe:

This text reveals how both workers and unions can use space as a source of political and social power and how space may in turn, be used against them. These essays show: how a sensitivity to the spatial aspects of labour unionism can provide insights into the nature of unionism; the structuring of labour markets and local economies; the role of space in the processes of organizing and the constructions of traditions of unionism; the intersection between between class, gender, ethnicity and labour unionism as they play out geographically; and unions' roles in shaping geopolitical relationships in the international arena.
