{"product_id":"a-collective-bargain-unions-organizing-and-the-fight-for-democracy","title":"A Collective Bargain: Unions, Organizing, and the Fight for Democracy","description":"From longtime labor organizer Jane McAlevey, a vital\ncall-to-arms in favor of unions, a key force capable of defending our\ndemocracy\nFor decades, racism, corporate greed, and a skewed political\nsystem have been eating away at the social and political fabric of the United\nStates. Yet as McAlevey reminds us, there is one weapon whose effectiveness has\nbeen proven repeatedly throughout U.S. history: unions.\nIn A Collective Bargain, longtime labor organizer,\nenvironmental activist, and political campaigner Jane McAlevey makes the case\nthat unions are a key institution capable of taking effective action against\ntoday’s super-rich corporate class. Since the 1930s, when unions flourished\nunder New Deal protections, corporations have waged a stealthy and ruthless war\nagainst the labor movement. And they’ve been winning.\nUntil today. Because, as McAlevey shows, unions are making a\ncomeback. Want to reverse the nation’s mounting wealth gap? Put an end to\nsexual harassment in the workplace? End racial disparities on the job?\nNegotiate climate justice? Bring back unions.\n\nAs McAlevey travels from Pennsylvania hospitals, where\nnurses are building a new kind of patient-centered unionism, to Silicon Valley,\nwhere tech workers have turned to old-fashioned collective action, to the\nbattle being waged by America’s teachers, readers have a ringside seat at the\nstruggles that will shape our country―and our future.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062908596\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0062908596.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McAlevey, Jane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
