Save Our Unions contains vivid portraits of rank-and-file heroes and heroines, both well-known and unsung. It takes readers to union conventions and funerals, strikes and picket-lines, celebrations of laborOCOs past and struggles to insure that unions still have a future in the 21st century. The bookOCOs insight, analysis and advocacy make this an important contribution to the project of labor revitalization and reform."
