How Foreign-Owned Auto Plants Remain Union-Free
Globalization and Cross-Border Labor Solidarity in the Americas
Hidden Knowledge
Fighting for the Union Label
It is no coincidence that the garment industry gained a foothold in Pennsylvania's hard-coal region as mines were closing or reducing operations.

Inside a Japanese Transplant
Modern Japanese management practices were investigated by a hidden participant/observation work experience in a Japanese automobile transplant over a 6-month period.

Generally, lower and lower-…
