The core insight in Rothstein's analysis is that while worker power is based on collective action, this is grounded in a very basic way in a long and hard process of convincing workers that this action is worthwhile and will actually achieve something. In the IBM Burlington case, the union was able to mobilize workers against layoffs by pointing out contradictions with a more traditional normative discourse based on long-term, mutual commitments between managers and workers. Second, even though Rothstein deserves kudos for reintegrating the workplace into an analysis of worker power, I Recoding Power i ultimately presents us with an unhelpful duality or opposition between the national level and the workplace.
