Description
Class struggle unionism is a radical approach to labor organizing that views the workplace as part of a broader struggle between workers and the billionaire class. This perspective recognizes the inherent exploitative nature of the wage employment transaction, where workers create all wealth in society but are separated from it through exploitation. Drawing on years of labor activism and study of labor tradition, Joe Burns outlines the key ideas common to this approach, showing how they can create a more militant, democratic, and fighting labor movement. By understanding the class struggle at its core, unionists can develop a powerful and effective strategy for workplace-based militancy and broader class demands. This book provides a clear and compelling vision for a more radical form of unionism, one that is rooted in workplace-based action but also seeks to address the underlying economic and social inequalities that drive corporate power.
