The Future of Unions and Worker Representation

This book provides an insightful synthesis of industrial activity abroad, and thoughtful potential solutions to reversing union woes. – Grace Morgan Cocks * Alternative Law Journal *Professor Forsyth makes this need for comprehensive and structural trade union action and policy measures strikingly evident. He does so in a well-written, enlightening, and stimulating book underpinned by a robust legal and industrial relation analysis. There is no doubt that The Future of Unions and Worker Representation will be a most valuable resource for academics, researchers, and students in labour law and industrial relations for many years to come. – Valerio de Stefano * Industrial Law Journal *The Future of Unions and Worker Representation: The Digital Picket Line is an important book which comes at a critical time for the union movement. To fulfil the promise of revitalisation, unions must forge lasting connections with the newest generations of workers who have grown up as digital natives. The book builds a convincing case for reform, both of external legal frameworks and of unions themselves. It also builds a compelling case through its analysis of union activity in the gig economy and during the pandemic of the continuing necessity of trade unions and their important place as agents of all working people. – Shae McCrystal * Australian Journal of Labour Law *
