A path to winning for working people: why strikes fail and how unity can change the balance of power.
From Why Strikes Are Lost—How to Win, this examination argues that factory-scale organization, not scattered craft unions, is the key to real power in production.
The text frames a history of labor struggles, showing how contracts and rigid craft rules can weaken workers. It promotes industrial unions that unite workers across the same plant or industry, arguing that unity and a shared class interest can overcome the tactics of employers and the old craft system. The goal is practical: a framework for organizing that turns collective action into lasting gains.
- Why craft unions can hinder solidarity and lead to defeats.
- How industrial unions connect workers across plants and industries.
- Strategies for building unity, avoiding strikebreakers, and gaining real leverage.
- The idea that a single, inclusive union structure can protect workers’ interests.
Ideal for readers of labor history, union organizers, and anyone seeking a clear, practical argument for a more powerful, united workforce.
