"Galvin’s insight into these Alternative or Alt-Labor groups was impressive because he taught a few of us something new about finding creative ways to organize and protect marginalized workers from exploitation." irs.princeton.edu/post-notewor...
Over the last half century, two major developments have transformed the nature of workers’ rights and altered the pathways available to low-wage workers to combat their exploitation. First, while national labor law, which regulates unionization and collective bargaining, has grown increasingly ineffective, employment laws establishing minimal workplace standards have proliferated at the state and local levels. Second, as labor unions have declined, a diversity of small, under-resourced nonprofit “alt-labor” groups have emerged in locations across the United States to organize and support marginalized workers. In Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers’ Rights, political scientist Daniel J. Galvin draws on rich data and extensive interviews to examine the links between these developments. With nuance and insight, Galvin explains how alt-labor groups are finding creative ways to help their members while navigating the many organizational challenges and structural constraints they face in this new context.
Professor Daniel Galvin's Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers' Rights @russellsagefdn.bsky.social named 2024 Noteworthy Books in Industrial Relations and Labor Economics by the Princeton University Industrial Relations Section @ipratnu.bsky.social irs.princeton.edu/post-notewor...

Offering a sophisticated analysis of the ICC's track record that shows how American fears are overblown, Daniel Krcmaric argues that a more cooperative US policy toward the ICC would benefit both sides. @buffett.northwestern.edu @nuresearch.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/books/a...
IMAGE: Book cover of ABOVE THE LAW, showing a U.S. Flag waving about the ICC flag. BOOK ABSTRACT: The United States has traditionally been a great promoter of international justice – forging the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals after World War II and leading the way in creating tribunals to address genocides in Yugoslavia and Rwanda after the Cold War. Yet the US views the International Criminal Court – the culmination of the tribunal-building process – as a dire threat. The US voted against its establishment, passed legislation threatening to invade The Hague, and tried to destroy the ICC with economic sanctions. Delving into the uneasy relationship between the world's superpower and one of its most prominent international institutions, Above the Law explains how the desire to shield American soldiers from unwanted ICC scrutiny is the ultimate source of tension. Offering a sophisticated analysis of the ICC's track record that shows how American fears are overblown, Daniel Krcmaric argues that a more cooperative US policy toward the ICC would benefit both sides.
