Which
Direction for Organized Labor? Essays on Organizing, Outreach, and Internal Transformations Edited by Bruce Nissen |
With the decline of the labor movement in the United States over the past four decades, unions are facing the future with unresolved concerns over free trade agreements, dwindling memberships, and their own leverage with industry and government. Which Direction for Organized Labor? addresses critical questions facing the U.S. labor movement as it approaches the 21st century. It analyzes the overall state of organized labor and examines the direction it should take in rebuilding its strength and influence. The editor has arranged this collection around the themes of organizing, reaching out, and self-transformation, and he presents essays that demonstrate the interconnection of these concepts. | "Which
Direction for Organized Labor? is an excellent
collection of essays on crucial issues confronting the American labor movement.
The contributors include a dynamic cross section of scholars, union leaders,
and front line activists who are grappling with the hard questions concerning
labor's revitalization. This is an important contribution to the emerging
dialogue among labor leaders and progressive intellectuals that is taking
place throughout the country." —Kent Wong, Director, UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education; President, University and College Labor Education Association |
