Good afternoon,
Some list members may be interested in the following book launch (or just in the book!):
Labor in Israel: Beyond Nationalism and Neoliberalism
Jonathan Preminger
Book launch at Cardiff Business School, Post-Graduate Training Centre
16 May at 17:30
Based on a comprehensive analysis of the recent wave of organizing that swept the
country, Labor in Israel investigates the changing political status of organized labor in the context of changes to
Israel’s political economy and the country’s complex relations with the Palestinians. Through his discussion of major labor campaigns, Preminger shows that organized labor is in a transitional and unsettled phase in which new marginal initiatives, new organizations,
and new alliances have not yet consolidated into clear structures of representation or accepted patterns of political interaction. However, he asserts that despite the weakening of trade unions and the historically hegemonic labor federation, the fragmentation
of labor representation has created opportunities for those previously excluded from the labor movement regime.
