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.
