The United States has a dramatic history of workers organizing on the job. In the last seventy odd years labor organizations have made peace with owners, and wages, various protections, and safety has diminished. All during an era that, despite its ups and downs, has been extremely profitable for the ownership class. Wetzel provides a solution to that failure by showing how a democratic outcome can be built into the method of struggle for social change, giving working people the means to ensure they will end up in control of the labor process and will build a from-the-bottom-up ecosocialism. But this isn’t the old white-guy-in-a-hard-hat unionism of the previous century. The working class has changed. Life under capitalism has changed. How we think about unionism must also change. While the political and capitalist class wring their hands over the environmental crisis and economic inequality we can see the immediate appeal of a union movement with an expanded mission to wrest control from the wealthy and powerful before they cost-shift us into extinction.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40374381314100,"sku":"9781849354707","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1664\/5684\/products\/overcoming.jpg?v=1656625291"},{"product_id":"bullshit-jobs-by-david-graeber","title":"Bullshit Jobs, by David Graeber","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDoes your job make a meaningful contribution to the world?

Building on a vibrant field of research, it discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratise the economy, “now-topias” that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating, expansionist, and hierarchical system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA handbook and a manifesto, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Future Is Degrowth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a must-read for all interested in charting a way beyond the current crises.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41120403750964,"sku":"9781839765841","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1664\/5684\/files\/image_5b051731-1acb-42b6-82d4-a79ef9bf5169.jpg?v=1684964593"},{"product_id":"troublemaking-why-you-should-organize-your-workplace","title":"Troublemaking: Why You Should Organize Your Workplace","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThere are no unorganisable workers, only workers yet to be organised.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been an explosion of organising among workers many assumed to be unorganisable, from delivery drivers in London to tech workers in Silicon Valley. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe culmination of years of conversations on picket lines, in community centres, and in union offices, with workers in Britain, the US, India, Argentina, South Africa, Brazil, and across Europe, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eTroublemaking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings together lessons from around the world.
