Description
Summary:"U. S. Labor in Trouble and Transition tells the story of union decline in America and of the split in the labor movement it led to, following the dismal tale of union mergers and management partnerships that accompanied the retreat from militancy since the 1980s. Looking to the future, Moody shows how the rise of immigrant labor and its efforts at self-organization can re-energise the unions from below. U.S. Labor in Trouble and Transition breaks new ground in the on-going debate within the U.S. labor movement."
