25. From transformation to revitalization a new research agenda for a contested global economy

Author

Turner, Lowell

Subjects
Labor movement -- Forecasts and trends, Global economy, Market trend/market analysis, Human resources and labor relations, Sociology and social work
Abstract

This introductory article offers an overview of the contemporary labor movement revitalization perspective. Moving beyond the transformation of industrial relations literature of the 1980s and 1990s, this growing body of work has emerged in response to contemporary realities, to address above all the urgency of innovative union strategies in the face of dramatically worsening international and domestic conditions. There are two central arguments in the revitalization literature. The first is that contemporary circumstances provide openings for a resurgence of social movement unionism. The second is that such strategies matter: They have been instrumental in promoting workplace, social, and political change, and they contain as well the potential for breakthroughs in labor movement and broader democratic revitalization. Keywords: labor movement revitalization; social movement unionism; strategic innovation

Abstract

There are two types of employee participatory outcome in the US workplace, namely, employer-organised participation and negotiated participation. The former is initiated by employers to increase productivity, flexibility, and product quality while the latter is driven by independent unions and work councils to reorganize production to compete in the world market. However, negotiated participation is found to provide a lasting and empowered employee participation as it represents the individual employee interest.

42. Elementary Physical Education: More Than Just Games.

Author

Turner, Lowell F. and Turner, Susan Lilliman

Abstract

The author's main objective in compiling this book on elementary physical education was to give both the classroom teacher and specialist a simple, yet practical, model for an individualized physical education program stressing movement education with a theme-oriented approach. This model is meant to augment or supplement the current program to the degree desired without requiring a previous period of formalized training. The book provides the reader with more than 500 movement problems and suggestions for the new physical education. Included in the first chapter are fifty theme-oriented movement lessons. Each of the thirteen themes begins with a lesson utilizing no apparatus and is followed by two or more lessons with different pieces of small equipment. At the end of the chapter, eight additional movement lessons are available for work on large apparatus. Complete directions are included to simplify implementation. The second chapter offers ideas for motivation, out-of-class assignments, and evaluation that will assist the reader in supplementing a program. The final chapter is an illustrated section on information concerning purchasing, construction, and ideas for using the twenty-five items of inexpensive and homemade equipment essential in the physical education classroom.
