{"product_id":"immigrants-unions-the-new-immanuel-ness-9781592130405","title":"Immigrants Unions \u0026 The New Us Labor Mkt","description":"In recent years, New Yorkers have been surprised to see workers they had taken for grantedOCoMexicans in greengroceries, West African supermarket deliverymen and South Asian limousine driversOCostriking, picketing, and seeking support for better working conditions. Suddenly, businesses in New York and the nation had changed and were now dependent upon low-paid immigrants to fill the entry-level jobs that few native-born Americans would take. \"Immigrants, Unions, and the New U.S. Labor Market\" tells the story of these workers' struggle for living wages, humane working conditions, and the respect due to all people. It describes how they found the courage to organize labor actions at a time when most laborers have become quiescent and while most labor unions were ignoring them. Showing how unions can learn from the example of these laborers, and demonstrating the importance of solidarity beyond the workplace, Immanuel Ness offers a telling look into the lives of some of America's newest immigrants.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Immanuel Ness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1592130402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592130405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.92w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 84","brand":"Immanuel Ness","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305335439615,"sku":"9781592130405","price":71.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fd3c8ea-3955-4b99-b868-cf59a5e6b349.jpg?v=1758830603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immigrants-unions-the-new-immanuel-ness-9781592130405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
