Solidarity for sale

"Solidarity for Sale shows how the American labor movement's decent, even essential, ends are continually undermined by its tawdry means - a diet of daily corruption longer than the menu at a Long Island diner. Understood properly, corruption reveals why American union leaders cannot organize, win strikes, offer a progressive political agenda, keep labor standards from falling, or reform themselves." "By telling the untold histories, uncovering the untold scandals, and even recommending a way forward, Robert Fitch builds a devastating indictment and goes beyond it to show that union corruption, stagnation, and decline are not our national destiny. Labor could regain its needed place in American life. But it would require a set of reforms deeper than anything now being proposed, nothing less than a revolutionary overthrow of its culture of corruption and its replacement by a civic culture of accountability and consent." "Solidarity for Sale is an authoritative history and analysis of American labor union corruption - and an urgent call for social justice."--Jacket.
