Overcoming difficulties and limitations ConclusionReviews'A must read for every trade union activist' -- Lyn-Marie O'Hara, Glasgow equal pay striker 'Workplaces are key sites of struggle against the hostile environment for migrants, and so to tackle these injustices against migrants we need strong unions. 'Workers Can Win' is a readable, practical guide for organising at work and building the power we need to fight back against oppression' -- Ida Jarsve, co-founder, Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants 'A vital resource for anyone serious about taking part in trade union work at any level, and also extremely useful for anyone working for positive change in their community' -- Brendan Montague, editor of 'The Ecologist' 'Workers have needed a practical, positive, accessible guide to organising in Britain for a long time and Ian, using his vast experience in the area has created just that. It will be a valuable resource for union representatives and organisers wanting to grow their branch and union!' -- Sarah Woolley, General Secretary, Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union Author InformationIan Allinson has been a workplace activist since 1991, working for a private sector employer which didn’t recognise a union for most workers, and where he led a number of strikes including the first national strike in the IT industry. He served ten years on the national Executive Committees of Amicus and Unite, and was a candidate for Unite General Secretary in 2017. He is currently industrial action coordinator on the executive committee of Manchester TUC, where he was previously President. Colin Revolting’s cartoons have been published by New Musical Express and the Ramblers Association. Colin has twice been dismissed for organising at work – once in a large public institution and later in a small charity. He is still trying to organise at work, hence the pseudonym.
