Restoring the Power of Unions It Takes a Movement Julius G. Getman

The labour movement is weak and divided. Some think that it is dying. But Julius Getman, a preeminent labour scholar, demonstrates through examination of recent developments that a resurgent labour movement is possible. He proposes new models for organizing and innovating techniques to strengthen the strike weapon. Above all, he insists that unions must return to their historical roots as a social movement.

Julius G. Getman is the Earl E. Sheffield Regents Chair Professor of Law at the University of Texas at Austin Law School.
