¿Para qué sirve un sindicato?

Synopsis of ¿Para qué sirve un sindicato?

«¿Para qué sirve un sindicato?» is Antonio Baylos's essay on the role of labor unions, published by Los Libros de la Catarata in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).

Baylos analyzes the real usefulness of labor unions in 21st-century societies, with attention to the Spanish case: he reviews the institution's epic past, its presence and capacity for representation in the face of new forms of globalized work, and union freedom as a universal civilizing element. He also studies the action of unionism in the face of the crisis that has hit Spain since 2010 and the discredit it receives in a neoliberal political and media context.

Work published in 2012 by Los Libros de la Catarata in the Mayor collection, number 400.

Suitable for readers interested in labor law, industrial relations and the debate on the future of unionism in Spain.
