The Death and Life of American Labor: Toward a New Worker's Movement

The decline of union membership in the U.S. has reached historic lows, prompting scholar Stanley Aronowitz to declare the traditional labor movement effectively dead. He traces this decline to mid-century organizing principles that have hindered progress. Through an in-depth examination of contemporary initiatives, strikes, and alliances, Aronowitz explores opportunities for revitalizing labor. He proposes a bold, inclusive vision for a new radical workers' movement, aiming to reinvigorate collective action and address the challenges facing today's workforce.
