Summary:
"For those who want to build a fighting labor movement, there are many questions to answer. How to relate to the union establishment which often does not want to fight? Whether to work in the rank and file of unions or staff jobs? How much to prioritize broader
class
demands versus shop floor
struggle
? How to relate to foundation-funded worker centers and alternative union efforts? And most critically, how can we revive militancy and union power in the face of corporate power and a legal system set up against us?
Class
struggle
unionism
is the belief that our union
struggle
exists within a larger
struggle
between an exploiting billionaire
class
and the working
class
which actually produces the goods and services in society.
Class
struggle
unionism
looks at the employment transaction as inherently exploitative. While workers create all wealth in society, the outcome of the wage employment transaction is to separate workers from that wealth and create the billionaire
class
. From that simple proposition flows a powerful and radical form of
unionism
. Historically,
class
struggle
unionists placed their workplace fights squarely within this larger fight between workers and the owning
class
. Viewing
unionism
in this way produces a particular type of
unionism
which both fights for broader
class
issues but is also rooted in workplace-based militancy. An essential primer for rebuilding a militant labor movement centered on solidarity with all workers." --From publisher.
