Shaul A. Duke assesses the trade union's potential to promote equality in ethnically and racially diverse societies by offering an in-depth look into how unions operate; how power flows between union levels; where inequality originates; and the role of union members in union dynamics. By analyzing the trade union's effects on working-class inequality in Palestine during 1920-1948, this book shifts the conventional emphasis on worker-employer relations to that of worker-worker relations. It offers a conceptualization of how strong union members directed union policy from below in order to eliminate competition, often by excluding marginalized groups. The comparison of the union experiences of Palestinian-Arabs, Jewish-Yemeni immigrants, and Jewish women offers a fresh look into thelabor history of Palestine and its social stratification.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-10-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783319650999\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319650999\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-65100-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 312\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309611479180,"sku":"9783319650999","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319650999.jpg?v=1754970185","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319650999","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
