Make Bosses Pay Why We Need Unions by Eve Livingston
challenging
informative
fast-paced
4.5
The subtitle of this book is ‘Why We Need Unions’ and so I think I expected more focus on how unions function and how they help.
What I got instead was a book that primarily revolved around how unions can evolve to meet the needs of evolving labour markets and how they can attract younger members.
One other thing I noticed was that the author seemed to assume that readers would take her views on politics and economics as a given. Politically, we’d probably agree on policies, but not on practical matters. Economically, we’re further apart.
This is a great resource, full of excellent ideas and examples – but it wasn’t quite what I was expecting.
