559 - Thematic Session. Strikes and Labor Politics in Comparative Perspective
Tue, August 23, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Invited Session
Description
This panel will re-assess theories of the strike and worker activism from a global perspective. In particular, we are interested in explaining the surprising convergence of increased extra-legal strike activity in both the global North and South. Additionally, the panel will look at the relationship between worker activism and democratization, both within the workplace and more broadly in the political sphere.
