Save the Humans? Common Preservation in Action
By Jeremy Brecher
We the people of the world are creating the conditions for our own self-extermination,
whether through the bang of a nuclear holocaust or the whimper of an expiring ecosphere.
Today our individual self-preservation depends on common preservation-cooperation
to provide for our mutual survival and well-being.
For half a century Jeremy Brecher has been studying and participating in social
movements that have created new forms of common preservation. Through entertaining
storytelling and personal narrative, Save the Humans? provides a unique and revealing
interpretation of how social movements arise and how they change the world. Brecher
traces a path that leads from the sitdown strikes on the pyramids of ancient Egypt
through America's mass strikes and labor revolts to the struggle against economic
globalization to today's battles against climate change.
Weaving together personal experience, scholarly research, and historical interpretation,
Jeremy Brecher shows how we can construct a "human survival movement" that could
"save the humans." He sums up the theme of this book: "I have seen common preservation-and
it works." For those seeking an understanding of social movements and an alternative
to denial and despair, there is simply no better place to look than Save the Humans?

Homestead Steel Mill-the Final Ten Years: USWA Local 1397 and the Fight for Union
Democracy
Author: Mike Stout
Introduction: JoAnn Wypijewski
Foreword: Charlie McCollester
Afterword: Staughton Lynd
Spanning the famous Homestead steel strike of 1892 through the century-long fight
for a union and union democracy, Homestead Steel Mill-the Final Ten Years is a case
history on the vitality of organized labor. Written by fellow worker and musician
Mike Stout, the book is an insider's portrait of the union at the U.S. Steel's Homestead
Works, specifically the workers, activists, and insurgents that made up the radically
democratic Rank and File Caucus from 1977 to 1987. Developing its own "inside-outside"
approach to unionism, the Rank and File Caucus drastically expanded their sphere
of influence so that, in addition to fighting for their own rights as workers,
they fought to prevent the closures of other steel plants, opposed U.S. imperialism
in Central America, fought for civil rights, and built strategic coalitions with
local environmental groups.
Mike Stout skillfully chronicles his experience in the takeover and restructuring
of the union's grievance procedure at Homestead by regular workers and put at the
service of its thousands of members. Stout writes with raw honesty and pulls no
punches when recounting the many foibles and setbacks he experienced along the way.
The Rank and File Caucus was a profound experiment in democracy that was aided by
the 1397 Rank and File newspaper-an ultimate expression of truth, democracy, and
free speech that guaranteed every union member a valuable voice.
Profusely illustrated with dozens of photographs, Homestead Steel Mill-the Final
Ten Years is labor history at its best, providing a vivid account of how ordinary
workers can radicalize their unions.
