Summary:
Collected for the first time, the essays that comprise Embedded With
Organized Labor present a unique and informed perspective on the
class war at home from a longtime organizer and “participatory labor
journalist.” Steve Early tackles the most pressing issues facing
unions today and describes how workers have organized successfully,
on the job and in the community, in the face of employer opposition
now and in the past.This wide–ranging collection deals with the
dilemmas of union radicalism, the obstacles to institutional change
within organized labor, and strategies for securing workersÂ’ rights
in the new global economy. It also addresses questions hotly debated
among union activists and friends of labor, including workersÂ’
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.
