"This is an outstanding collection of original empirical studies of union organizing activity. There is an abundance of evidence, from both surveys and case studies, invariably presented in a clear and readable style and illuminated by relevant theory. With contributions by the leading researchers in the field, Union Organising is set to become a landmark text on the rising fortunes of the British labour movement." I Professor John Kelly, Department of Industrial Relations, London School of Economics "This book makes an excellent research-based contribution to the study of contemporary labor movement revitalization. The authors add to a growing literature that views unions as strategic actors rather than as victims of global market forces and government and employer opposition. If there is not yet a new paradigm, still there is a promising shift in union strategy toward rank-and-file mobilization and more activist, organizing unionism - changes that are well documented and analyzed here." I Lowell Turner, Professor of International and Comparative Labor, Cornell University
