Summary
  • "With a new Afterword addressing the current state of union and non-union labor, noted labor expert Stanley Aronowitz provides a definitive assessment of the last twenty-five years of labor history. He argues that unions have historically been important defenders of economic justice and that they remain so, especially in today's booming economy.
  • In particular, Aronowitz views the increasing disparity between the very rich and the working poor as evidence of the increasing need for labor's active role in America's economic and social agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
