Description

From forced trusteeships to hostile inter-union raids, American labour has been gripped by a devastating civil war that has resulted in 30 years of decline. With the economic crises putting more pressure on organised labour than ever and prompting a renewed interest in the subject, it is high time to turn back this trend. Long-time trade union leader and journalist Steve Early goes straight to the root of the problem, arguing that these destructive policies have grown out of the current strategy of labour management collaboration and calling for an entire rebuild.
