Description: This book analyses contemporary trends in radical unionism in Europe. It contains nine country case-studies that probe the limits and possibilities of trade union renewal and focus on radical activity. It assesses the degree to which we are witnessing the emergence of 'radical political unionism' as an alternative model of European trade unionism.
Review Quotes: «Radical Unions is the first major survey of different forms and expressions of union radicalism in the current crisis, however broadly defined its key term. Like any interesting book on a complex subject, it raises as many questions as it answers, and the editors are therefore to be congratulated for assembling a thought-provoking collection.»
