<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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. <p/>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Steve Early</b> has been an organizer, strike strategist, labor educator, and lawyer.
