WHAT UNION ACTIVISTS SHOULD BE READING

The IUF has just published a 36-page brochure entitled "A Workers' Guide
to Private Equity" which can purchase or download from their website.
It's essential reading for trade unionists facing the new challenges of
a new kind of capitalism:

A new 230 paperback entitled "Immigrants, Unions and the New U.S. Labor
Market" has just come out. Though it focusses on the USA, it will also
be relevant to any country where there is a large immigrant work force.
This book, by Immanuel Ness, tells the story of these workers' struggles
for living wages, humane working conditions, and respect. Larry Cohen,
president of the Communication Workers of America, says that "Manny Ness
has chronicled some inspiring and recent accounts of great organizing by
immigrant workers in the U.S. This type of organizing and mobilizing
existing members provides our best hope for the future."
