Title: The Future of the American Labor Movement
Description: "Coming at a time of profound change in the global conditions under which American organized labor exists, The Future of the American Labor Movement describes and analyzes labor's strategic alternatives. The analysis is broadly cast, taking into account ideas that range from the current European Social Dialogue to the methods of the nineteenth-century American Knights of Labor. There are a number of intriguing strategies, including worker ownership and labor capital strategies, that have potential for reviving the labor movement in the United States. This book demonstrates the necessity for a number of diverse strategies to be pursued simultaneously.

For this to work, one has to think in terms of a broad movement of labor, consisting of diverse parts, held together by a clear idea of its purpose and a new structure. The treatment includes an introduction by Lynn Williams, former president of the United Steel-workers of America, and an interview with John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO."--Jacket.
