Condizione: New.

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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
