Unions and the City serves as a road map toward both a stronger labor movement and a socially just urbanism. Focusing on four key economic sectors (film, hospitality, green energy, and child care), this book reveals that unions can exert a surprising level of influence in various aspects of urban policymaking.
Ian Thomas MacDonald is Assistant Professor in the School of Industrial Relations at the University of Montreal.
"Unions and the City is a welcome addition to the growing field of 'labor revitalization.' It pursues the important theme of labor’s successful urban strategies in the contemporary neoliberal era of austerity, declining union memberships, and increasing antiunion political action. As such, it augments the spatial dimension of analysis in the labor revitalization field by framing the set of eight well-written cases—four industry sectors in two cities, Toronto and New York—in terms of critical urban geography. This book will appeal to a readership in search of strategies for revitalizing labor in urban areas."
