ABOUT THIS BOOK
ABOUT THIS BOOK
It is we who push the papers, put the paychecks in the mail; It is we who type the letters, mind the office without fail. And until we get a contract, it is we who'll shut down Yale, For the union makes us strong. (To the tune of "John Brown's Body") "Must reading for anyone who wants to learn what a revitalized labor movement would look like." -- Labor Notes "A textbook on solidarity unionism." -- Staughton Lynd "One of the very best books on labor in the 1970s and 80s." -- Dana Frank, University of California at Santa Cruz "There are very few case studies in recent labor history as readable and provocative as this one." -- Karen Sawislak, Stanford University On Strike for Respect is a lively account of the 1984-85 strike by clerical and technical workers at Yale University. Members of Local 34, with a strong female majority, mobilized themselves and the public, breathing new life into the labor movement as they fought for and won substantial gains. A short update on current conditions concludes this volume.
