Workers Can Win

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

The premise is simple: organising 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 organising experience, Ian Allinson combines battle-tested techniques with an analysis of the theory and politics of organising and unions.

This fully updated edition offers new material on online organising, 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.
