The essential argument of this book is that the current crisis of
US unions ought to be considered in terms of the local context of
labor-management relations; that is, the communities in which men
and women live and work. Whether by design or necessity, the
structure of New Deal national labor legislation has sustained, and
maintained, distinctive local labor-management practices. As the
economies of American communities (and the world) have become
highly interdependent, reflecting the evolution of corporate
structure and trade between economies, unions movement can be
traced to unions' dependence upon inter-community solidarity, a
fragile democratic ideal which is often overwhelmed by economic
imperatives operating at higher scales in other places. An
important objective of Professor Clark in this work is to
demonstrate the significance of the intersection between
communities, unions, and institutions, in understanding the
prospects for American unionism.
