Recenzii

'Through their detailed empirical work on the ground in Bangladesh and their thoughtful theorising on democratic representation, the authors show that what seems like an unsolveable problem - achieving better labour standards in the global garment industry - hinges on one core ingredient: the voice of workers. Their book sheds light on who can legitimately take up this role in the absence of institutionalised structures of representation, taking us through the complex and fragile alliances on different levels that have emerged in the aftermath of the Rana Plaza disaster. A great read for anyone interested in the intricacies of making global supply chains more sustainable, be it from an industrial relations, a governance or a management perspective.' Elke Schüßler, Head of Institute of Organizational Science, Johannes Kepler University Linz
'Workers have a right to stay alive at work. Unforgivably, it seems that the global brands that now dominate the world economy only 'woke up' to this fundamental right when over a thousand workers died in the Rana Plaza factory collapse. This book is a wake-up call for everyone, from international agencies to national governments, from producers to consumers. Reinecke and Donaghey demonstrate how production and consumption relations have been 'disconnected' by global supply chains, and they make a compelling democratic case for these relations to be 'stitched back together'. Although the market-driven form of industrial democracy that characterised the Accord ultimately fell short, this book is an essential read for all those who are trying to stitch national and international labour regulation back together.' Peter Turnbull, Professor of Management & Industrial Relations, University of Bristol, UK, and President, British Universities Industrial Relations Association (BUIRA)
