Exit, Voice, and Solidarity: Contesting Precarity in the Us and European Telecommunications Industries

More about the book

The book explores how labor can effectively respond to job insecurity and inequality in the face of downsizing and outsourcing, particularly in the telecommunications sector. It examines the contrasting approaches in the US and Europe, highlighting how labor unions have successfully implemented creative strategies through collective bargaining and solidarity. The author identifies three critical factors influencing these outcomes: constraints on employer exit, support for collective worker voice, and inclusive labor strategies, demonstrating the impact of national political economic contexts on workers' achievements.
