{"product_id":"reviving-the-strike-joe-burns-9781935439240","title":"Reviving the Strike: How Working People Can Regain Power and Transform America","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf the American labor movement is to rise again, it will not be as a result of electing different politicians, the passage of legislation, or improved methods of union organizing. Rather, workers will need to rediscover the power of the strike. Not the ineffectual strike of today, where employees meekly sit on picket lines waiting for scabs to take their jobs, but the type of strike capable of grinding industries to a halt--the kind employed up until the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eReviving the Strike\u003c\/i\u003e, labor lawyer Joe Burns draws on economics, history and current analysis in arguing that the labor movement must redevelop an effective strike based on the now outlawed traditional labor tactics of stopping production and workplace-based solidarity. The book challenges the prevailing view that tactics such as organizing workers or amending labor law can save trade unionism in this country. Instead, \u003ci\u003eReviving the Strike\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fundamentally different solution to the current labor crisis, showing how collective bargaining backed by a strike capable of inflicting economic harm upon an employer is the only way for workers to break free of the repressive system of labor control that has been imposed upon them by corporations and the government for the past seventy-five years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935439243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935439240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ig Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joe Burns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46094434566399,"sku":"9781935439240","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d99cc560-9e92-430f-a87d-2c7df3ec6916.jpg?v=1724844647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reviving-the-strike-joe-burns-9781935439240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
