“In this riveting account of the rise and fall of organized labor, Steven Greenhouse tells the stories of courageous men and women who put their jobs and often their lives on the line to help American workers gain the income and the dignity they deserve. After World War II, when more than a third of American workers in the private sector belonged to labor unions, workers had enough power to demand that wages keep up with productivity gains. The consequence was the greatest middle class in the history of the world. But over the past forty years, as union membership has declined, America’s middle class has waned. Greenhouse outlines how a worker’s movement could be rekindled, and why it must be. Deeply inspiring and profoundly important.” (Robert B. Reich, former Secretary of Labor and author of The Common Good)
“A timely and important book that explores how labor unions and worker power have made the US a fairer, more democratic country. In these times of renewed labor insurgency, Steven Greenhouse’s riveting reporting and storytelling reminds a new generation why workers’ and unions’ concerns must be restored to the center of our politics and workplaces.” (Katrina vanden Heuvel, editorial director and publisher, The Nation)
“Greenhouse…has provided a human dimension to the tale of income inequality, wage stagnation, and employer disrespect for workers…. Informative.” (Mark Levine, Booklist)

This book is mostly a history of labor unions in the US, ranging from garments, UAW, and the air traffic controllers.
A brief overview of labor unions, but does lack information regarding coal miners strikes of the past, although it does mention the Ludlow strike. And it does mention the squalor workers toiled in while owners profited and never were punished for their negligence. Not to mention the police almost always taking the side of the state/rich.
It presents the strength of the service workers’ union in Las Vegas while also highlighting some of the downfalls of unions of the past.
The end wraps it up with a resolution for the future and how unions can and should integrate.

Low wages high employment. You are only one step from the return of slavery. Look at the comments above. No hope for America. People are so brainwashed into working against their own best interests that nobody can save them. Wake up people. Your wages buy less than they did 30 years ago. Numbers mean nothing if all new jobs pay f* all.

As a new wave of labor movement happening now, it’s even more important for us to read and learn how to develop effective strategies in terms of organizing and gaining power through unions.
