Their research revealed both formidable challenges and inspiring examples of immigrant mobilization that often took shape as innovative social countermovements. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing case studies from a carwash organizing campaign in the United States, a sans papiers movement in France, Justice for Cleaners in the United Kingdom, and integration approaches by the Metalworkers Union in Germany, among others, the authors look at the strategies of unions toward immigrants from a comparative perspective. Although organizers face a different set of obstacles in each country, this book points to common strategies that offer promise for a more dynamic model of unionism is the global North.
