Personal Finance, Careers & Achieving Success

From waste collectors in Mumbai fighting for safer working conditions to tech workers in Silicon Valley demanding more control over their work, people everywhere are getting organised. Talking to workers in Britain, the US, India, Argentina, South Africa, Brazil, and across Europe, Lydia Hughes and Jamie Woodcock bring together lessons for anyone thinking about taking on their bosses. Troublemaking puts forward three principles for organisers. First, we need action to build a movement - now, not as a last resort. Second, build the union rank and files. Power comes from organising at work, not in trusting others to do it on our behalf. Third, democracy matters. This is not only about winning, but about developing the confidence to build another kind of world.
