In this new edition of Why Unions Matter, Michael D. Yates shows
why unions still matter. Unions mean better pay, benefits, and
working conditions for their members; they force employers to treat
employees with dignity and respect; and at their best, they provide
a way for workers to make society both more democratic and
egalitarian. Yates uses simple language, clear data, and engaging
examples to show why workers need unions, how unions are formed,
how they operate, how collective bargaining works, the role of
unions in politics, and what unions have done to bring workers
together across the divides of race, gender, religion, and sexual
orientation. The new edition not onlyupdates the first, but also
examines the record of the New Voice slate that took control of the
AFL-CIO in 1995, the continuing decline in union membership and
density, the Change to Win split in 2005, the growing importance of
immigrant workers, the rise of worker centers, the impacts of and
labor responses to globalization, and the need for labor to have an
independent political voice. This is simply the best introduction
to unions on the market.
