Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the 1970s, workers in Western Australias Pilbara iron ore mines went on strike more than the notorious coal miners. We had industrial muscle and we used it, recounted one union delegate. Grassroots-led strikes often provoked the ire of union officials and politicians but dramatically improved workers lives. Yet this former bastion of militant unionism is today virtually un-unionised. An industry making super-profits is beset by insecure work, mental distress and sexual harassment.How did this union power come about? What did it mean for the workers of the Pilbara and their communities? And how could it be so thoroughly destroyed? Based on archival research and interviews with participants, including rank-and-file union members, shop stewards and organisers, Striking Ore focuses on the workers themselves including their agitating for hard-won breakthroughs in pay, conditions and safety to answer these questions and assess the legacy of the unions defeat. It offers inspiration for unionists and activists and salient lessons for todays trade union movement.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Radical Perth, Militant Fremantle tells 34 fascinating stories of radical moments In the cities' past, from as long ago as the 1890s and as recent as Occupy: the revolutionary theatre of the Workers Art Guild; the riot of unemployed workers outside the Treasury building; rock concerts inside St Georges Cathedral; bodgies and widgies cutting up the dance floor at the Scarborough Beach Snake Pit; the Point Peron women's peace camp, and many more.This revised 2nd edition bring four new tales: student radicalism at Curtin University (then WAIT), Perth's very-own Green Bans; Perth solidarity with the famous strike of Aboriginal pastoral workers; and the unknown tale of striking Chinese seamen on the Fremantle waterfront, who faced brutal repression, but won support from Fremantle unionists.This engaging, inspiring book charts Perth and Fremantle's radical past, uncovering the obscure and neglected, reframing the better known, opening new windows on Perth and Fremantle's history. It is structured as three self-guided walking and driving tours, so readers can visit the very places and buildings where these hidden histories took place.…
