From Wisconsin to Washington, DC, the claims are made: unions are
responsible for budget deficits, and their members are overpaid and
enjoy cushy benefits. The only way to save the American economy,
pundits claim, is to weaken the labor movement, strip workers of
collective bargaining rights, and champion private industry. In
""They're Bankrupting Us ": And 20 Other Myths about Unions, "labor
leader Bill Fletcher Jr. makes sense of this debate as he unpacks
the twenty-one myths most often cited by anti-union propagandists.
Drawing on his experiences as a longtime labor activist and
organizer, Fletcher traces the historical roots of these myths and
provides an honest assessment of the missteps of the labor
movement. He reveals many of labor's significant contributions,
such as establishing the forty-hour work week and minimum wage,
guaranteeing safe workplaces, and fighting for equity within the
workforce. This timely, accessible, "warts and all" book argues,
ultimately, that unions are necessary for democracy and ensure
economic and social justice for all people.
