Author: Sam Wallman
The promise of unions is that their ‘members be unlimited’: that they belong to all workers. How did the idea of unionism arise? And what are its challenges in the 21st century? From Britain to Bangladesh, from the first union of the 18th century to today, from solidarity in Walmart China to his own experiences in an Amazon warehouse in Melbourne, comics journalist Sam Wallman explores the urge to come together and cooperate that arises again in workers and workplaces everywhere.With a dynamic and distinctive art style, and writing that’s boththoughtful and down to earth, this title serves as an entry point for young people or those new to these notions of collective action, but also as an invigorating read to those already engaged in the struggle for better working conditions — and a better world.
ISBN 9781925713053. Scribe Publications. pb. 256 pages. full colour. 23 x 19 cm.
