Acerca de esta escucha

From longtime labor organizer Jane McAlevey, a vital call-to-arms in favor of unions, a key force capable of defending our democracy.

For decades, racism, corporate greed, and a skewed political system have been eating away at the social and political fabric of the United States. Yet as McAlevey reminds us, there is one weapon whose effectiveness has been proven repeatedly throughout US history: unions.

In A Collective Bargain, longtime labor organizer, environmental activist, and political campaigner Jane McAlevey makes the case that unions are a key institution capable of taking effective action against today’s super-rich corporate class. Since the 1930s, when unions flourished under New Deal protections, corporations have waged a stealthy and ruthless war against the labor movement. And they’ve been winning.

Until today. Because, as McAlevey shows, unions are making a comeback. Want to reverse the nation’s mounting wealth gap? Put an end to sexual harassment in the workplace? End racial disparities on the job? Negotiate climate justice? Bring back unions.

As McAlevey travels from Pennsylvania hospitals, where nurses are building a new kind of patient-centered unionism, to Silicon Valley, where tech workers have turned to old-fashioned collective action, to the battle being waged by America’s teachers, listeners have a ringside seat at the struggles that will shape our country - and our future.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Inspired Unionist!

With all the news and attacks on labor, I needed some inspiration. Thank you. I'll be ready for my next union meeting.

eye opening

if you don't believe in a union, you will after this. If you do, then you will want to be more active and involved!

Clear-eyed, inspirational, essential

Well-argued, part myth-busting, part history lesson, and part strategy for getting out of our neoliberal hell.

Absolutely informative

Jane goes far and above with information on becoming unionized, unions and so much more! Her story is intriguing that it made me feel as if I too was evolved.

I probably read 10 books on organized labor, this might be my favorite.

The second (or third?) chapter is pretty dense and moves quickly but is very necessary for understand the state of the labor movement in our country. The story in the following chapters are riveting!
I will deff be listening to this one again. it lays out everything a company is going to do to stop workers from organizing. very enlightening.
