Synopsis

An unorthodox, irreverent, and battle-tested strategy for workers ready to leverage the power we already have.

We know how our workplaces should be, but they're changing for the worse. We know how we want the world to be, too, but billionaires are doing their best to make things fall apart.

Unions of Our Own provides a radical, step-by-step framework for workers who want to fight for the better workplaces they've always envisioned--and dream of bigger changes, too. In a world teeming with union-busters and bad bosses, Daniel Gross reveals the eight building blocks needed to build a sustainable labor union that can actually stand up for workers' needs. From first conversations with those coworkers to the actualization of real, collective power, Unions of Our Own will offer a potent antidote to the idea that change is impossible.

Through practical tools and real-world examples, Unions of Our Own is an actionable, inspiring, and confidence-boosting handbook on how to win the workplace--and the world--you deserve.
