Review: Erik Loomis gives us a well written brief history of working women and men uniting to improve their working conditions and their personal lives against the background of a general narrative of US history at large. His main argument is that unions only succeed when they represent the interests of large numbers of workers, and also by electing political officials who will support those interests through legislation. Today unions in the private sector represent only a small fraction of working people, and even in government where about one in three workers are represented by a union, the handwriting appears to be on the wall: right to work laws and the end of automatic union dues will undermine these private sector unions as well. Hard times ahead for unions and the people they represent. So why write a book about the history of union strikes? Loomis says that "these early strikes should serve as an inspiration today, showing us that our ancestors, much like us, faced a rapidly changing world by seeking justice for their brothers and sisters." (28) My only quibble with the book is that the author doesn't mention the fact that strikes can also be fun for working people. In 1979 as a dockworker and Teamster I walked the strike picket line in Elk Grove, California. We walked for two hours in shifts, and then retired to one of our Teamster brother's RV for cold beer and baseball on the television. We won a wage and benefits increase. Nice work if you can get it! Review: Very well-written and well-researched account of the history of the labor movement and the United States. A good read for anyone who is interested in what's happened and where the U.S. is going. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (136) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 3.18 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1620976277 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1620976272 | | Item weight | 340 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | 27 August 2020 | | Publisher | The New Press | ## Images ![A History Of America In Ten Strikes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wVINYe-gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***T on 19 October 2018* Erik Loomis gives us a well written brief history of working women and men uniting to improve their working conditions and their personal lives against the background of a general narrative of US history at large.
