U.S. Labor in Trouble and Transition: The Failure of Reform from Above, the Promise of Revival from Below

by Kim Moody

U.S. Labor in Trouble and Transition: The Failure of Reform from Above, the Promise of Revival from Below Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

US Labor in Trouble and Transition tells the story of union decline in America and of the split in the labor movement it led to, following the dismal tale of union mergers and management partnerships that accompanied the retreat from militancy since the 1980s. Looking to the future, Moody shows how the rise of immigrant labor and its efforts at self-organization can re-energize the unions from below. US Labor in Trouble and Transition is a major intervention in the on-going debate within the US labor movement.

Synopsis:

One of the leading historians of the contemporary labor movement uncovers the secrets of its collapse and revival in this follow-up to the acclaimed Workers in a Lean World.

Synopsis:

Praise for Workers in a Lean World:

"A very important book that deserves a wide audience." -Choice

"An exceptional book." -The Progressive
