The Crisis of US Labour, Past and Present

New!

From: The Socialist Register 2022

$2.40

Samir Sonti explores the long decline of organized labour since its heyday in the mid-twentieth century. Sonti explores the challenge of rebuilding the American union movement in the post-Trump era, notably through campaigns that ‘align the interests of workers who provide vital public services with those of communities that depend upon them’. Topics discussed include sociopolitical and class polarization, tolerability of inflation, the profound weakness of the organized working class, and ‘Bidenomics’.
