Dear Folks—

Please excuse this mass mailing, but I wanted to get the word out—and
apologies in advance if you get this more than once!

I just brought out an edited collected titled “Building Global Labor
Solidarity in a Time of Accelerating Globalization” (Chicago:  Haymarket
Books, April 2016).  A flier is attached below.  This is a collection,
with contributions from David Bacon, Bruno Dobrusin, Jenny
Jungehuelsing, Katherine Nastovski, Timothy Ryan, Kim Scipes and Michael
Zweig.  There simply is nothing out like it.
 We have chapters on theorizing global labor solidarity, building
international labor solidarity in Canada in the 1970s and ‘80s,
exploratory research on using migrant experiences to build cross-border
solidarity, creating continental-wide labor solidarity in Latin America
against the growing “Commodes Consensus,” AFL-CIO support for emerging
labor organizations in Bangladesh, examining the KMU labor center of the
Philippines to see what we can learn from their experiences,
cross-border solidarity across the US-Mexico border, and a proposal for
a new foreign policy for the AFL-CIO.

I want to let you know about the book, and encourage you to get it.  But
I’d also like to ask that you share this message with your networks, and
encourage people to share this message with their networks.  I want to
get this out to the widest range of people possible.

You can order directly from haymarketbooks.com
<http://haymarketbooks.com> , and the book is listed under their “labor
movement” category.  It lists for US $19.  You can also get it from
Amazon, but Amazon says the book won’t be out until July 12—we’re trying
to get them to change that, but no luck yet!  Pre-orders from them are
cheaper.

Also, if you teach at a college or university, please ask your library
to order the book.  Also, if you’re a member of a labor or related
organization, please ask them to publicize the book.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  I’m open to doing radio
interviews if anyone is interested, and can do book signings if not too
distant from Chicago.

Would love to hear what you think once you’ve read it.


In global labor solidarity—


Kim
