This collection of articles and speeches by veteran Socialist Workers Party leader Tom Kerry touches on many of the most important concerns and struggles of the union movement since the CIO upsurge of the 1930s. Kerry's approach throughout is that of a Marxist and a participant in the struggles of the working class. He sees the interests of the employers and the workers as being diametrically opposed, and approaches every question from the point of view of developing the independent power of the American working class.
Tom Kerry has been active in the socialist movement since 1934. He is a former editor of the Militant. Kerry participated in some of the union struggles covered in this book as a member of the West Coast Firemen, Oilers, Watertenders & Wipers Association; the Seafarers International Union; and the National Maritime Union.
