"Based on his immersion in heated campaigns, Lopez analyzes just
how difficult organizing for today's trade unions can be. Still the
Sisyphean effort goes on, led by unions, such as SEIU, which notch
up victories despite the uphill struggle. Lopez's participant
observation is a model of clarity, theoretical imagination and
methodological innovation. It is a must-read for anyone who wants
to understand why unions are so weak in the US, and how they could
become stronger."--Michael Burawoy, President of the American
Sociological Association
"Lopez's beautifully written, lucid analysis of the new labor
movement bristles with insights. This rare insider's account of
contemporary organizing consistently avoids the easy answers and
relentlessly confronts the limitations of union achievements, even
as he appreciates their transformative potential."--Ruth Milkman,
Director, UC Institute for Labor and Employment and author of
"Farewell to the Factory
""Reorganizing the Rust Belt is the best ethnography around of
what it's like, day-to-day, to be inside an organizing campaign and
contract mobilization. Lopez brings to life the limits and
problems, the changes over time, the victories and ambiguities,
experienced by workers and organizers in a progressive union."--Dan
Clawson, author of "The Next Upsurge: Labor and the New Social
Movements
