“They’re Bankrupting Us!”: And 20 Other Myths about Unions
Bill Fletcher (Author)
“Isn’t it curious that the loudest, most venomous voices against unions are the CEOs and Wall Streeters who profit by keeping America’s working families down and unions out? In this powerful book, Bill Fletcher exposes their self-serving lies, and points out the obvious: unions work. Not only do they advance our economy, but also our democracy and our nation’s historic pursuit of social justice.”–Jim Hightower, author, radio commentator, public speaker, and editor of The Hightower Lowdown
“Bill Fletcher’s new book is a must read for every worker in America. Full of surprising stories and useful facts, “They’re Bankrupting Us!” uncovers everything we ever wanted to know about how unions work, and the true role that unions have played in shaping the nature of our work today.”–Ai-jen Poo, Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance
