📕 ATLDSA Book Club: Class Struggle Unionism 📕
|
Atlanta DSA's Book Club is reading Chapters 5-6 of Class Struggle Unionism by Joe Burns! We'll meet THURSDAY Dec. 1st at 7PM on Zoom and meet every other Thursday. DSA faces a lot of questions on how to rebuild the labor movement. How do we relate to the union establishment which often does not want to fight? Should we work in the rank and file of unions or take staff jobs? And most critically, how can we revive militancy and union power in the face of corporate power and a legal system set up against us? Join us in the coming weeks to discuss these issues and more! You can get a copy of the book for $2 from Haymarket Books. If you haven't been able to make a meeting yet, now is a great time to jump in! For more information, email [email protected].
