Chapter Chapter 1 in The Unions’ Response to Globalization, 2014, pp 1-18 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Globalization is defined and illustrated with the growth of the transplant automakers in the United States, the related decline of the Detroit Three automakers (General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler), and the subsequent collapse of the city of Detroit. The impact of globalization on union growth and collective bargaining, particularly for the United Automobile Workers, is described. It is shown how globalization challenges the fundamental union mission. A central question is asked—How can the unions best respond to globalization?
