Workers Can Win: A Guide to Organising at Work

Economic uncertainty and the cost-of-living crisis hang heavy in the air. We need radical change, but in the vacuum left by defeated labor movements, where should we begin? For longtime workplace activist Ian Allinson, the answer lies on the shop floor.

The premise is simple: organizing builds confidence, capacity and collective power, and with power we can win change. Workers Can Win is an essential, practical guide for rank-and-file workers and union activists. Drawing on decades of organizing experience, Ian Allinson combines battle-tested techniques with an analysis of the theory and politics of organizing and unions.

This fully updated edition offers new material on online organizing, immigration as a union issue, confronting far-right narratives, and countering workplace surveillance and AI. An essential 101 guide, Workers Can Win remains an indispensable tool for workplace struggles.
