Madland's multilayered analysis presents a solution--a model to replace the existing firm-based collective bargaining with a larger, industry-scale bargaining method coupled with powerful incentives for union membership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese changes would represent a remarkable shift from the norm, but would be based on lessons from other countries, US history and current policy in several cities and states. In outlining the shift, Madland details how these proposals might mend the broken economic and political systems in the United States. He also uses three examples from Britain, Canada, and Australia to explore what there is yet to learn about this new system in other developed nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadland's practical advice in \u003ci\u003eRe-Union\u003c\/i\u003e extends to a proposal for how to implement the changes necessary to shift the current paradigm. This powerful call to action speaks directly to the workers affected by these policies--the very people seeking to have their voices recognized in a system that attempts to silence them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Madland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501755374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501755378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ILR Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"David Madland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048575365375,"sku":"9781501755378","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ea4c34f-b983-43fd-8b54-8c8e1330c9b9.jpg?v=1684996571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/re-union-david-madland-9781501755378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
