Save Our Unions: Dispatches From A Movement in Distress brings
together recent essays and reporting by labor journalist Steve
Early. The author illuminates the challenges facing U.S. workers,
whether they’re trying to democratize their union, win a strike, defend
past contract gains, or bargain with management for the first
time. Drawing on forty years of personal experience, Early writes
about cross-border union campaigning, labor strategies for organizing
and health care reform, and political initiatives that might
lessen worker dependence on the Democratic Party.
Save Our Unions contains vivid portraits of rank-and-file heroes
and heroines, both well-known and unsung. It takes readers to
union conventions and funerals, strikes and picket-lines, celebrations
of labor’s past and struggles to insure that unions still have
a future in the 21st century. The book’s insight, analysis and advocacy
make this an important contribution to the project of labor
revitalization and reform.
