Bill Barry's new book, Union Strategies for Hard Times, comes at just the right moment.  In response to the theoretical and analytical takes on the economic crisis and its effect on labor, Union Strategies for Hard Times is instead a practical field guide directly written for rank-and-file workers.  With chapters on grievance and negotiation, communication and organizing, Barry details different strategies unoins can use to defend against the frenzied attack on labor by driven employers in both the public and private sectors.  Union Strategies for Hard Times is a much needed resource for union members facing what Barry calls, "The Great Recession."

Bill Barry is the director of labor studies at the Community College of Baltimore County and a 40-year veteran of the movement.  Join us for a discussion about the book with him and enjoy some caffeinated strategizing!
