This class will be hosted on ZOOM
Join the discussion as the LALL book discussion group concludes its year-long exploration of issues related to labor and employment with a discussion of The Hammer: Power, Inequality and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor, by Hamilton Nolan. At our last discussion, a question was asked re: whether unions are still relevant. This book responds to that question head-on. Although organized labor has been in decline for decades, a recent highly visible wave of strikes and new organizing campaigns have driven the popularity of unions to historic highs. In chapters that cover movements around the country, the reader is taken to the actual places where labor and politics meld. The Hammer is an urgent, on-the-ground excavation of the past, present and future of the American labor movement.
