This book is still up-to-date! Packed with great information in laymen terms for anyone in a union, or thinking about joining a union. Union "Busters" should read it so that they can ease back from what is known as the largest social movement on the planet.
"Unions sexist because employees see that dealing with an employer only as individuals ultimately puts each of us in a weaker position." We can only hope that union leaders will show the fortitude to represent their members with empathy, and stay away from special personal deals like the right to barricade themselves in an office and sleep all day as long as they keep down the grievances.
Truly appreciate the extensive directory of more than 90 major unions in the United States complete with web address and phone numbers.
Every union member, wannabe, or gonna-be member should add this handy reference to their step-your-game-up library.
Find out what Mr. Michael Mauer has to say about the labor "Bill of Rights" and the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.

A guide for what unions do (and can do), and how to foster productive dialogue between members and management. Recommended.
