Subcontracted Employment and its Challenge to Labor (2009, background): “…wider shift toward what is being called social movement unionism, networked trade unionism, or community unionism, there are important reasons for considering responses to subcontracting as a standalone group (Fine 2005; Moody 1997; Waterman and Wills 2001; Wills 2001a, 2002; Wills and Simms 2004).”
Global production networks: realizing the potential (2008, background): “…workers’ ability to cause widespread disruption in Just-In-Time production systems—or more placed-based ‘community unionism’ initiatives that see workers collaborating with a wide range of other community groups—e.g. Wills’ (2001a) work on the Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union Council (BWTUC).”
