"Recoding Power combines sustained theoretical analysis with rigorous empirical research, providing valuable insights and an optimistic vitality to understanding how tech workers can oppose layoffs and build worker power. Accordingly, I strongly recommend this book to all scholars and graduate students interested in reducing power inequality in the workplace and in society." -- Stephen J. Frenkel, ILR Review"Tech workers are often seen as the winners in the transition to a digital economy. But they can also be among the most precarious. In Recoding Power, Sidney Rothstein shows that the key is recoding management discourse. This innovative book draws on intensive fieldwork at US (IBM) and German (Siemens, Infineon) case study firms to explain why workers succeeded or failed to challenge layoffs in two very different institutional settings. It makes amajor contribution to theorizing the changing sources of worker power in increasingly liberalized 'varieties of capitalism', while holding important lessons for labor unions seeking to organize and represent theexpanding high tech workforce." -- Virginia Doellgast, Cornell University"Rothstein offers an original and compelling account of how workers can successfully exercise power. Building a theory of worker power that rests upon discursive creativity rather than institutional resources, and using comparative case studies of the tech industry, this book will reshape how we think about the future of labor organizing." -- Chris Howell, Oberlin College"This is a very timely and elegantly written book on the capacity of contemporary tech workers to exercise collective agency with their employers, defend their jobs and, at least potentially, rebuild a labor movement in our time. By weaving innovative theoretical argument together with lucid and granular empirical reconstructions of labor struggles in Germany and the United States, Recoding Power develops an astonishingly hopeful account ofcontemporary labor possibilities in the modern digital economy." -- Gary Herrigel, University of Chicago, "Tech workers are often seen as the winners in the transition to a digital economy.

Synopsis
Does digital transformation make worker power impossible? Many seem to think so, especially those who see the Silicon Valley model as the best chance for economic growth in the twenty-first century. If economic growth requires deregulating markets for labor and finance capital, then labor's traditional power resources - especially institutions for social protection and the unions that support and enforce them - need to be dismantled. Rising inequality and spreading precarity are therefore inevitable and unavoidable in a world where workers cannot defend against employer discretion. In Recoding Power, Rothstein argues that worker power is possible in digital transformation, and outlines three tactics that workers can use in order to defend against precarity. Tracing how workers respond to mass layoffs at four tech firms in the United States and Germany, Rothstein shows that workers can build power in twenty-first century capitalism when they put workplace discourse at the center of their tactics for collective action. Close analysis of struggles in the workplace uncovers the creative tactics workers can develop to "recode" management's discourse in order to recognize the possibility of power and mobilize to transform that possibility into reality. By centering workers' lived experiences in the workplace, Recoding Power develops an account of actually existing digital transformation, illustrating how the path of capitalist development is shaped not by economic necessity, but by political creativity., Digital transformation increasingly drives economic growth in the rich capitalist democracies, but orienting production around digital technologies is associated with rising inequality and spreading precarity. In Recoding Power, Rothstein outlines three tactics that workers can use to build power in the current episode of economic transition, where they otherwise lack access to traditional power-resources like unions and institutions for social protection. Drawing on four in-depth case studies of workers responding to mass layoffs at tech firms in the United States and Germany, Rothstein shows how workers can develop creative tactics to "recode" management's discursive techniques for control, transforming them from obstacles into resources for collective action. By centering workers' lived experiences in the workplace, Recoding Power develops an account of existing digital transformation, illustrating how the path of capitalist development is shaped not by economic necessity, but by political creativity.
