Summary

In a rapidly changing world of work, labor movements are facing unprecedented challenges. Globalization, technological change, and the erosion of labor laws have all contributed to a decline in union membership and a weakening of workers' bargaining power. Yet, despite these challenges, there are also signs of hope for the future of labor. A new generation of activists is using social media and other online tools to organize and mobilize workers, and they are winning victories on issues such as wages, benefits, and working conditions.

This book provides a comprehensive examination of labor movements in the 21st century. It explores the challenges and opportunities facing labor movements today, and it offers recommendations for how labor movements can adapt to the changing world of work. The book also provides case studies of successful labor movements from around the world, including the Fight for Fifteen movement in the United States, the resurgence of labor unions in South Korea, and the migrant worker movement in Qatar.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the changing world of work and the role that labor movements can play in shaping a more just and equitable future. It is also a valuable resource for labor activists, union leaders, and anyone who is interested in the history and future of labor movements.

In this book, you will learn about:

* The history of labor movements, from the first stirrings of worker unrest in the early 19th century to the rise of powerful unions in the 20th century.
* The challenges and opportunities facing labor movements in the 21st century, including globalization, technological change, and the erosion of labor laws.
* How labor movements can adapt to the changing world of work, including by using social media and other online tools to organize and mobilize workers.
* Case studies of successful labor movements from around the world, including the Fight for Fifteen movement in the United States, the resurgence of labor unions in South Korea, and the migrant worker movement in Qatar.

This book is a call to action for all those who believe in the power of collective action to improve the lives of working people. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the future of work and the role that labor movements can play in shaping it.

    How the gospel equips Christians to live confidently for Christ in an increasingly secular society, facing the challenges of the future with confidence.  We are living in a time of rapid cultural change, when Christian views are often seen as outdated and even dangerous. This can leave us feeling anxious about how to live out what we believe and uncertain about the future of the church.  Steve McAlpine’s first book, Being the Bad Guys, sought to explain how our culture ended up so far away from biblical Christianity and how to reach out with the gospel wisely. In this book, he explores where things are heading and what we can do about that now, both as individuals and as a church.  Steve examines secular narratives about purpose and authenticity, connectedness and progress, and compares them to the promises made by the Bible. He shows that the Bible offers a more satisfying, more realistic, and more hopeful vision of the future.  He also examines the things that cause many Christians and non-Christians to be anxious about the future: technological change, political polarization, clashes over climate, and culture wars around gender and identity. He reminds readers that God is in control and helps them to think through how they can live wholeheartedly for Christ, facing the challenges of the future with confidence and leading the way in terms of citizenship, stewardship, and community.  Stephen McAlpine is the Director for Cultural Engagement at City to City Australia. A former pastor, he now writes and speaks on theology, church, and culture.

    The early history of the territory now known as Ukraine is marked by a series of ancient cultures and civilizations that shaped the region's development before and during the Dark Ages. The area was initially inhabited by the Dacians, a group known for their connections to the wider Thracian culture, alongside various nomadic tribes such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians. These peoples made significant contributions to the cultural and political landscape of Eastern Europe during the Iron Age. 
From around 750 BC to 250 BC, the Scythians established a powerful kingdom that extended its influence over much of the Eurasian steppes, including the territories of modern-day Ukraine. The Scythian kingdom is well-known for its unique art, horse-riding culture, and its role as a dominant force in the region. Meanwhile, Greek colonists founded several cities on the northern shores of the Black Sea during the 6th century BC, including Tyras, Olbia, and Hermonassa. These cities became important trading hubs and cultural centers, remaining under Roman and later Byzantine control until the 6th century AD.
