Mutiny in the Mountains uses labor history to show the way forward for millions of workers struggling in an age of uncertainty.
In 1969, thousands of West Virginia state highway workers went on strike in fear that they faced impending loss of their jobs as they were excluded from civil service protection. Although the walkout coincided with one of the most severe winters to affect road conditions, the newly elected governor fired the strikers. The 1969 State Road Strike inaugurated a half decade of public sector organizing and protest that culminated in the historic public-school strikes of 2018–19 that shut down all schools across the Mountain State and inspired a wave of public education strikes in Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and beyond.
Beginning with the nation’s first general strike in 1877, that started with railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and including the early coal strikes in 1912–13 and an armed insurrection in 1921, most treatments of the state’s labor history have focused on the private sector. This is the first comprehensive history of the struggles waged by state and local government workers in West Virginia. The involvement of numerous unions and interventions of the state legislative and executive branches is traced in order to provide context for those struggles. Relying on journalistic sources, legislative enactments, court decisions, and participant interviews, Mutiny in the Mountains accounts the fifty-year struggle of West Virginia’s public sector workers to assert power without the benefit of significant collective bargaining rights or political leverage.

Redesigning Student Learning in Secondary Schools offers an accessible account of developments in secondary schooling in western countries over the past 150 years, questioning why so little has changed and introducing examples of, and proposals for, significant shifts from traditional practices.

Redesigning Student Learning in Secondary Schools offers an accessible account of developments in secondary schooling in western countries over the past 150 years, questioning why so little has changed and introducing examples of, and proposals for, significant shifts from traditional practices.Structured in three parts, Part 1 traces the evolution of mass secondary schooling systems and how their process shaped the student and teacher experience. Part 2 describes how system restructuring accommodated the whole student population, with some managers investing more heavily in market principles than others who placed greater trust in teachers to deliver high quality standards in basic skills. In Part 3, the author introduces various examples of how system and school redesign is, and has been attempted in recent years, arguing for, and explaining, a ‘service' model of schooling, adoption of technology to transform the teaching-learning process, empowering students to have more input into their own topic choice, through closer collaboration with teachers to identify and achieve learning goals. Proposals for how to undertake redesign are also discussed.This book will be of interest to secondary school educators, school leaders and managers.

Redesigning Student Learning in Secondary School

Out of the Lab, into the Streets tells the story of how academic workers built the largest strike in the history of American higher education and set a new standard of militancy in one of the fastest growing sectors of the labor movement.&nbsp;
On November 14, 2022, academic workers of the University of California began a strike that brought workers out of the lab and into the streets for six weeks to fight for more equitable working conditions. The strike was a point of arrival and a process at the same time. It was the hard-fought achievement of a short- and long-term history of union organizing and a learning practice for workers across campuses, disciplines, job classifications, political affiliations, and identities. This book documents the everyday and on-the-ground making of union organizing and power building and demonstrates for organizers everywhere the&nbsp;lessons about the effectiveness of
 collective power cemented through worker-to-worker organizing, militant
 escalation strategies, and cross-union solidarity.
The nine workers who gave lengthy testimonies for this project challenge preconceptions about the advantages and difficulties of organizing in higher education. They make insightful analyses of how being active union members transformed them personally and reshaped their approach to science and education.
Union organizers and other activists will find lessons and reflections on core topics for the labor movement: how to build a worker-led union, the practical meaning of democracy during mass action, dissent and unity amongst workers, and how to measure a fight's success. Within these nuanced accounts of militant organizing, everyone will find inspiration to keep collective power alive and keep fighting for a better future.

Out of the Lab, Into the Street

Provides a comprehensive framework for understanding mental health in the workplace Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work&nbsp;offers a critical and much-needed re-evaluation of how job stress is understood, addressed, and managed in modern workplaces. In contrast to popular narratives that individualize stress and recommend surface-level interventions, this resource challenges these assumptions by locating job stress within the very structure and nature of work itself. Drawing on more than a decade of clinical and academic experience, the author underscores how workplace environments and policies-not personal shortcomings-are often the true sources of stress-related mental health issues. Empowering readers to become informed advocates for lasting change, the book offers a multi-dimensional exploration of job stress, informed by biological, epidemiological, and activity-centered approaches. A structured three-part format builds from foundational concepts to actionable solutions, first clearly defining essential concepts-work, health, and their intersections-before delving into critical issues such as burnout, harassment, toxic workplace dynamics, and substance use. In the final section, Durand-Moreau calls for systemic change, advocating for robust policies, workplace inspections, and structural reform rather than temporary fixes. A practical guide for those who seek to make work environments healthier and more equitable,&nbsp;Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work: <ul> <li>Challenges prevailing wellness narratives by shifting focus from individuals to systemic workplace factors</li> <li>Integrates clinical insights from over 400 work-related mental health cases</li> <li>Offers a comparative international perspective, especially from Canadian and French occupational health systems</li> <li>Combines theoretical analysis with practical case studies to enhance accessibility</li> <li>Explores lesser-addressed topics such as doping at work</li> </ul> With vivid case studies and accessible illustrations throughout,&nbsp;Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work&nbsp;is essential reading for graduate and professional-level courses such as Occupational Health, Work Psychology, Organizational Behavior, and Public Health Policy. It is ideal for degree programs in Occupational Medicine, Human Resources, Public Health, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology as well as working professionals like union reps, HR, and any worker interested in this topic.

Job Stress Revisited

Anthem Studies in Wittgenstein

This book explores moments of philosophical embarrassment, focusing on Hume and Wittgenstein, who recognized how their critiques challenged the very foundations of philosophy. It examines how figures like the Vienna Circle and Quine redefined philosophy's aims, and how the later Wittgenstein warned against the pitfalls of scientism and self-deception.
