Joe Burns' <i>Strike Back</i> helps awaken the labor movement to our collective power. This book belongs in the hands of every unionist who wants to build power for working people through militant grassroots activism. --<b>SARA NELSON</b>, President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO</p> <p>During the 1960s and 1970s, teachers, police, firefighters, sanitation workers and many other public employees rose up to demand collective bargaining rights in one of the greatest upsurges in labor history.
