Book Reviews UNION Now WITH BRITAIN, by Clarence K. Streit. Harper & Brothers, Publishers, New York, 1941. Pp. xv, 240. Mr. Streit developed his idea of a federal union of national states before the war broke out. In 1939 he articulated it in Union Now, wherein he proposed that initially the union should be composed of fifteen democracies, namely, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Eire, Finland, France, Holland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Union of South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Hitler has forced a revision of this scheme by overrunning five of the eight non-Englishspeaking countries in this group and isolating the remaining three. The present volume accordingly urges United States union now with the other Englishspeaking democracies. A common language, a predominantly common racial strain, and a common legal, political and cultural heritage are cohesive ele- ments that strongly favor the present lineup over the original plan.

  • 7 Justice for Janitors Goes Dutch
    7 Justice for Janitors goes Dutch Precarious labour and trade union response in the cleaning industry (1988-2012): a transnational history* Abstract Precarious labour has been on the rise globally since the 1970s and 1980s. Changing labour relations in the cleaning industry are an example of these developments. From the 1970s onwards, outsourcing changed the position of industrial cleaners fundamentally: subcontracting companies were able to reduce labour costs by recruiting mainly women and immigrants with a weak position in the labour market. For trade unions, it was hard to find a way to counteract this tendency and to organize these workers until the Justice for Janitors (J4J) campaigns, set up by the us-based Service Employees International Union (seiu) from the late 1980s, showed that an adequate trade union response was possible. From the mid-2000s, the seiu launched a strategy to form international coalitions outside the United States. It met a favourable response in several countries. In the Netherlands, a campaign modelled on the J4J repertoire proved extraor- dinarily successful. In this chapter, transnational trade unionism in the cleaning industry based on the J4J model will be analysed with a special focus on the Dutch case. How were local labour markets and trade union actions related to the transnational connections apparent in the rise of multi-national cleaning companies, the immigrant workforce, and the role of the seiu in promoting international cooperation between unions? Keywords: outsourcing, precarious work, precariat, cleaners, janitors, organizing, transnationalism, regulatory unionism, industrial relations, The Netherlands * Reprinted from Ad Knotter, ‘Justice for Janitors Goes Dutch.

Trade union minutes are analysed using theories on women’s organisation, in which exposure of male standards in trade union organisation and the concept of women as powerless are central. The results reveal some differences in the opportunities for women to become members of the Tailoring Workers’ Union, which initially tried to exclude women, and the Textile Workers’ Union, which saw it as a priority to recruit more women.

  • The Danish Referendum on Economic and Monetary Union
    RESEARCH PAPER 00/78 The Danish Referendum 29 SEPTEMBER 2000 on Economic and Monetary Union Denmark obtained an opt-out from the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union as one of the conditions for agreeing to ratify the Treaty on European Union in 1993. Adoption of the euro would depend upon the approval of the electorate in a referendum. The Danes voted on 28 September to decide whether or not Denmark would join the single currency and replace the krone with the euro. The result was 53.1% to 46.9% against adopting the euro. This paper looks at the background to the Danish opt- out, the pro- and anti-euro campaigns, political and public attitudes towards the single currency and implications of the vote.

    BOOK REVIEWS The Brandywine. By HENRY SEIDEL CANBY. (New York: Farrar and Rinehart, Inc., 1941. xiii, 285 p. $2.50.) This is a pleasant book. It was doubtless a pleasure to its author to write, with its constant reminders of his youth. It is a pleasure to read, with its frequent glimpses of the sunny meadows and peaceful stretches of the modest Pennsylvania creek that has somehow been taken into the fraternity of the great streams that make up the main company of the "Rivers of America." Mr. Canby recognizes the boldness of this claim and argues for its propriety with ingenuity and good humor. He cites the commercial and industrial significance of the two miles of its course; the European versus the local usage of the term river; the acknowledged title of his subject to social, military and even literary fame. But after all to those of us who, like Mr. Canby, love the Brandywine, it is only one, though the longest and largest, of the five beautiful streams, Darby, Crum, Ridley, Chester and Brandywine, that make their way through the wooded hills from the higher lands of eastern Pennsylvania to the Delaware, after some six or seven hundred feet of fall and forty, fifty or sixty miles of length of course. If it is a river at all, all the implications of the term are on a small scale. Even the terrain of the Battle of Brandywine, the most notable event in its history, surprises the visitor with its small propor- tions. A region that stretches only from Chadds to Jeffries Ford, from Osborn Hill to Birmingham Meeting House, a stream that can be leaped over in some places and waded across everywhere except in a few backwaters, flanked for most of its course alternately by level meadows and open woods creates amazement that such a slight physical obstacle should be the deciding factor in a crucial battle of a continental war.
