Embedded with Organized Labor: Journalistic Reflections on the Class War at Home by Steve Early
About this book: This wide-ranging collection deals with the dilemmas of union radicalism, the obstacles to institutional change within organized labor, and strategies for securing workers' rights in the new global economy. It also addresses questions hotly debated among union activists and friends of labor, including workers' rights as human rights, new forms of worker organization such as worker centers, union democracy, cross-border solidarity, race, gender, and ethnic divisions in the working class, and the lessons of labor history. Embedded With Organized Labor describes
how union members have organized successfully, on the job and in the
community, in the face of employer opposition now and in the past. The
author has produced a provocative series of essays—an unusual exercise
in “participatory labor journalism” useful to any reader concerned about
social and economic justice. As workers struggle to survive and the
labor movement tries to revive during the current economic crisis, this
book provides ideas and inspiration for union activists and friends of
labor alike.
