praise for Save Our Unions:
“Union activists should read Early’s book for essential background on the on-going crisis of the U.S. labor movement.”—Jon Flanders, Jacobin
“There are lots of books on labor. Few are rooted so clearly in the struggles, victories, and defeats of workers and their unions as Save Our Unions.”—Ken Paff, Teamster Voice
“Steve Early’s latest edited collection confirms that social justice unionism is far from dead…”—New Labor Forum
“Early is honest, informative, and unsparing in his criticisms of blunders and betrayals by leaders of business unionism.”—Al Hart, UE News
“Steve Early is a well-known commentator on the complex world of US trade unionism. His analyses are often provocative and always well-informed….”—Melanie Simms, London School of Economics Book Review
“Reading Save Our Unions is like sitting in on a seminar on the modern labor movement….Early furnishes historical and current examples that offer blueprints for the revival of the labor movement and the rise of the working class.”—Fran Quigley, Labor Notes
“Early’s essays are not for the faint of heart… But he does suggest a way forward, without pretending to have all the answers. Early is convinced that the best ideas will come from rank-and-file members and their elected leaders who belong to democratic unions.”—The ILWU Dispatcher
“Early’s dispatches tell the good, the bad, and the ugly of labor’s fight for survival, but they also describe a new era of capitalism that makes worker collective action harder.”—William Rogers, Left Labor Reporter
“Early’s new book is a must-read for working people.”—Seth Sandronsky, The Progressive Populist
