摘录] 自 2005 年本书首次出版以来，发生了三件重大事件。 (1) 从2004年开始，纽约市开始推进出租车技术增强计划(TTE)，要求纽约市的每辆黄色出租车都安装基于非导航全球定位系统的跟踪系统。在接下来的三年里，司机对该系统的反对不断增加，导致 2007 年 9 月和 10 月发生了一系列罢工。即使在我们发稿时，这场斗争仍在继续。 （2）2007年初，纽约出租车工人联盟（NYTWA）成为第一个独立工会，成为纽约州中央劳工委员会的正式成员，这是对劳工运动具有重大意义的历史性发展。 (3) 最后，基于美国各地兴起的兴趣和几项出租车组织倡议，NYTWA 与宾夕法尼亚州出租车工人联盟于 2007 年 3 月组织了出租车工人国际 (TWI) 成立会议。这三个重大事件都有望产生长期影响。在许多方面，这些事件相互交织的性质使我对当代劳工运动面临的挑战有了更全面的了解。因此，康奈尔大学的这个版本带有一个新的尾声，不仅描述了这些事件以及围绕它们的行动，而且还试图从理论上综合它们。我希望这本书的结果是一个令人信服的结论，它将在劳工运动中引发新的辩论。
Excerpt] Three significant events have happened since 2005 when this book was first published. (1) Starting in 2004, die city of New York began advancing the Taxi Technology Enhancement Program (TTE), which would require every yellow taxi in NYC to be fitted with a non-navigational Global Positioning System-based tracking system. Driver opposition to this system grew over the next three years, leading up to a series of strikes in September and October 2007. Even as we go to press, this battle continues. (2) In early 2007, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) became the first independent labor union to become a full member of the New York State Central Labor Council, a historic development with tremendous significance for the labor movement. (3) Finally, based on burgeoning interest and several taxiorganizing initiatives emerging throughout the United States, NYTWA along with the Taxi Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania organized a founding meeting of the Taxi Workers International (TWI) in March 2007. All three dramatic events promise long-term effects. In many ways die intertwined nature of these events has given me a more complete understanding of the challenges the contemporary labor movement faces. Accordingly, this Cornell edition carries a new epilogue that not only describes these events arid the actions that surrounded them but also attempts to synthesize them theoretically. The result, I hope, is a compelling conclusion to the book that will open up fresh debates within the labor movement.
