The Civil Wars in U.S. Labor

Between 2008 and 2010, the progressive wing of the U.S. labor movement tore itself apart in a series of internecine struggles. More than $140 million was expended, by all sides, on organizing conflicts that tarnished union reputations and undermined the campaign for real health care and labor law reform. Campus and community allies, along with many rank-and-file union members, were left angered and dismayed.

Steve Early worked as a national staff member of the Communications Workers of America for twenty-seven years. He is the author of Embedded with Organized Labor and a widely published freelance writer.
