Transformations of Trade Unionism shows that there have been many varieties of trade unionism, emerging independently or transforming older ones, and that these varieties and transformations can be explained by specific and changing labour regimes. The case studies all start from Dutch examples, or incorporate a Dutch element, but the comparative and transnational approach connects these histories to general developments in Europe and the United States from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 312 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 09 November 2018\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe historical experiences of workers organizing in Europe and the United States are among the many forms of workers' resistance resulting from the variety of labour relations in the global past. While these experiences cannot and will not be uniformly duplicated or copied in the global transformations of labour and workers' movements today, trade unionism as a form of collective agency among workers became a global phenomenon in the twentieth century. With growing numbers of workers being exposed to wage labour and labour markets, the cases of workers organizing in the original heartlands of trade unionism in Europe and the United States can provide a historical background for future prospects and transformations. Transformations of Trade Unionism shows that historically there have been many varieties of trade unionism, emerging independently or transforming older ones, and that these varieties and transformations can be explained by specific and changing labour regimes. The case studies all start from Dutch examples, or incorporate a Dutch element, but the comparative and transnational approach connects these histories to general developments in Europe and the United States from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century.
