Organizing isn’t just a science, it’s also an art. Normally the latter is passed on through phone calls, debriefs, meetings, and late-night shit talk. This is an attempt to share with the next generation of union organizers some of those lessons learned along the way, some in victory, some in defeat. None of this is new. None of this is mine. I certainly don’t have the answers, I just know it’s something that I’ve given my life to over the past quarter of a century.

What can we do to turn around decades of union decline? This is the key challenge of our era, because the power of a revitalized labor movement is needed to pull America off its descent into oligarchy and authoritarianism. There are no easy answers, which is why I welcome the responses of union organizer Peter Olney, Labor Notes co-founder Jane Slaughter, and labor scholar Ben Fong to my new bookWe Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big.

To turn around its decline and build enough power to defeat Trumpism, organized labor needs, among other things, a vigorous culture of debate. So I was happy to receive a thoughtful review of my new book We Are the Unionfrom Peter Olney, one of our country’s sharpest union organizers. He argues that worker-to-worker unionism is only a relatively small piece of a much bigger strategic arsenal and suggests that serious labor organizing should concentrate on the most economically powerful workers.

What can we do to turn around decades of union decline? This is the key challenge of our era, because without the power of a revitalized labor movement it will be exceedingly difficult to pull America off its descent into oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Bernie Sanders et Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ont ignoré les conseils des leaders d’opinion démocrates qui leur recommandaient de « se coucher et faire les morts ». Dieu merci. Leurs rassemblements anti-oligarchiques ont attiré un nombre record de participants, témoignant d’une volonté populaire largement répandue de résister à Musk et Trump.
