The accounts of the better-known veterans (Nelson Lichtenstein, Kim Moody, Weinstein) are interesting, and the Draperites are historically under-documented (they remain so, even in this book). However, I am struck by how many contributors simply call ...more

Quotes by Shaun Richman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The next few years are pregnant with possibilities. We should pursue reform as a dialectic. There are the changes that we have the power to make ourselves, and those that will be granted or imposed by the system itself. But every change—no matter how minor, no matter if it comes from above or below or if it’s imposed on us by our enemies—creates the possibilities for more change. We should be constantly debating strategy and reexamining the political environment and workers’ attitudes. We must be ready.”
Shaun Richman, Tell the Bosses We're Coming: A New Action Plan for Workers in the Twenty-First Century

“The New York D.A. had no authority to
arrest men from Illinois in the state of New Jersey, but Dewey still got his
headlines.”
Shaun Richman, We Always Had a Union: The New York Hotel Workers’ Union, 1912-1953

“Many unions that haven’t been merged or taken over have a degree of historical memory that fosters a culture—almost a personality—that guides their actions.”
Shaun Richman, We Always Had a Union: The New York Hotel Workers’ Union, 1912-1953

“Socialism is still beginning, a task to be accomplished, not a destiny to be awaited.”
Michael Harrington, Fragments of the Century

“Paradoxical as it may seem, collective bargaining is not losing ground in the United States because unions are less attractive, but unions are less attractive because collective bargaining is losing ground.”
Seymour Martin Lipset, Unions in Transition: Entering the Second Century

“Union protagonists can be permitted a moment of nostalgia for this 'little' labor movement which no longer exists, nor can ever exist again, but which, while it lasted, was free of the specific problems that bedevil the labor movement today when by force of circumstance it has been separated a few notches farther from the rank and file.”
Sidney Lens, The Crisis of American Labor

“The New York D.A. had no authority to
arrest men from Illinois in the state of New Jersey, but Dewey still got his
headlines.”
Shaun Richman, We Always Had a Union: The New York Hotel Workers’ Union, 1912-1953

“Many unions that haven’t been merged or taken over have a degree of historical memory that fosters a culture—almost a personality—that guides their actions.”
