Description: Work is widely thought to have become more precarious. Many people feel that unions represent the interests of protected workers in good jobs at the expense of workers with insecure employment low pay and less generous benefits. Reconstructing Solidarity: Labour Unions Precarious Work and the Politics of Institutional Change in Europe argues the opposite: that unions try to represent precarious workers using a variety of creative campaigning and organizing tactics. Where unions can limit employers ability to 'exit labour market institutions and collective agreements and build solidarity across different groups of workers this results in a virtuous circle establishing union control over the labour market. Where they fail to do so it sets in motion a vicious circle of expanding precarity based on institutional evasion by employers. Ieconstructing Solidarity examines how unions build or fail to build inclusive worker solidarity to challenge this vicious circle and to re - regulate increasingly precarious jobs. Comparative case studies from fourteen European countries describe the struggles of workers and unions in industries such as local government retail music metalworking chemicals meat packing and logistics. Their findings argue against the thesis that unions act primarily to protect labour market insiders at the expense of outsiders.
