Save Our Unions: Dispatches from a Movement in Distress

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