Grassroots-led strikes often provoked the ire of union officials and politicians but dramatically improved workers’ lives. Yet, this former bastion of militant unionism is today virtually un-unionised. An industry making super-profits is beset by insecure work, mental distress and sexual harassment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow did this union power come about? What did it mean for the workers of the Pilbara and their communities? And how could it be so thoroughly destroyed? Based on archival research and interviews with participants, including rank-and-file union members, shop stewards and organisers, \u003cem\u003eStriking Ore\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the workers themselves – including their agitating for hard-won breakthroughs in pay, conditions and safety – to answer these questions and assess the legacy of the unions’ defeat. It offers inspiration for unionists and activists and salient lessons for today’s trade union movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082647519468,"sku":"9781923192218","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20333303482872.jpg?v=1765276186"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/alexis-vassiley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
