Linked labor histories
The author attempts mightily to pull together some very disparate chapters into a compelling whole, but just doesn't get all the way there.
Her central argument is that the "race to the bottom" for workers knits together the global North and South, and thus that no unionization that fails to take this into account is going to succeed. On the other hand, she doesn't have many success stories about transnational unionization either. There is occasionally some hectoring of the reader, and condemnation of the notion of neoliberalism without any attempt to explain why the concept has such purchase, even among workers themselves.
Much of the book reads like reporting rather than an attempt to use diverse sources to craft a historical argument.
