This provocative and timely look at how the American labor movement, once a proudly anti-Communist champion of free enterprise and collective bargaining, drifted into the political Left, as former union insider Max Green traces the rise, decline, and reinvention of trade unionism from Samuel Gompers to the modern AFL-CIO, exploring hot-button issues such as industrial and public-sector unions, protectionism and free trade, civil rights and race-based policies, Cold War foreign policy, and labor's economic agenda, and leaving readers to ask whether today's union leaders still serve workers, the public, or the national interest.
