Legendary legal scholar Staughton Lynd teams up with influential
labor organizer Daniel Gross in this exposition on solidarity
unionism, the do-it-yourself workplace organizing system that is
rapidly gaining prominence around the country and around the world.
Lynd and Gross make the audacious argument that workers themselves
on the shop floor, not outside union officials, are the real hope
for labor's future. Utilizing the principles of solidarity
unionism, any group of co-workers, like the workers at Starbucks,
can start building an organization to win an independent voice at
work without waiting for a traditional trade union to come and
"organize" them. Indeed, in a leaked recording of a conference
call, the nation's most prominent union-busting lobbyist coined a
term, "the Starbucks problem," as a warning to business executives
about the risk of working people organizing themselves and taking
direct action to improve issues at work.
Combining history and theory with the groundbreaking practice of
the model by Starbucks workers, Lynd and Gross make a compelling
case for solidarity unionism as an effective, resilient, and deeply
democratic approach to winning a voice on the job and in society.
